Medallions will get you a bonus if you collect all of them within a level. The only thing youll stand to lose is unlocking the various bonuses for defeating all of the enemies in a level.Ĭollecting items is another way to acquire bonuses, among other things. The numerous enemies respawn frequently, causing you to lose interest in fighting them. For instance an evil gang of incendiary wrestlers have to be extinguished with water before you can put the kibosh on them.
Some enemies actually require a two-button combination. On the downside there is the repetition of battles, requiring little more than the push of one button. You wont miss it, except during battles. Depth is something this game doesnt have, and doesnt need. Im not saying this game is the perfect representation of a cartoon series, but its just not bad, and thats good. Velma is a computer geek and can compromise security systems, while Daphne has a talent for climbing poles. Scooby can get into smaller openings, Shaggy can use a grappling hook, and Fred can move heavy objects. The characters dont level-up, although you can purchase quaint accessories for them to wear.

It contains three storylines, which are well-written, considering. At around seven hours, it can be beaten in a weekend. Scooby Doo! and the Spooky Swamp targets kids, but it packs enough action, fun, and anticipation to keep the older crowd engaged for a spell. And so far I havent seen a Simpsons game that can touch this one.
Like the cartoon, its simple, corny, formulaic, and repetitive, proving that its much more fun to play than watch. It simply delivers an interactive cartoon universe for us to play around in. What I liked about the game is that it doesnt try to reinvent the wheel.
SCOOBY DOO SPOOKY SWAMP GAME CHESTS SERIES
How can you compare it to classics like Popeye and Bug Bunny? But before my contempt for the cartoon series begins to sour your opinion of me, this review, and the video game, let me iterate the game is a different story. Scooby Doo was popular when I was a kid, and I didnt like it then either. Scooby Doo used to enjoy the distinction of longest-running cartoon series, but I, as a cartoon fan, cannot be happier this series was finally overthrown by a production of intelligence, integrity and infamy (i.e.
