My 4 year old is a HUGE Scooby fan, and we have tried several of the scooby-doo case file games. This one seems to be the most difficult/challenging so far.
First, the graphics and voices are true to the tv show, so this game really holds my son's attention. I like that there are 3 levels of difficulty. We stuck to the "spooky" (easy) level. The main menu screen puts the gang in the middle of a movie studio. The studio employees are all leaving because they have been spooked by the ghost of a former stuntman for the studio. As the gang explores the movie set, there are several buildings they can enter in their search for clues.
Each building has suspects to interview, mini games and/or items to pick up. This format is similar to the other Scooby-doo case file mysteries we have rented. Once you find all the clues, you can guess at which of the suspects you think is behind the mystery and then learn the secret identity of the ghost.
Now, my son is probably on the young side for this game, and searching for clues and interviewing suspects was a little over his head. In some cases, you have to go into one building and talk to a suspect who will tell you that they need a specific item. Then you have to go to a different building to find the item and bring it back to the suspect. Not a problem for a slightly older child, but a little too complicated for us.
The mini games in this program are also a little more challenging than some of the other scooby games. There are some buildings that Shaggy and Scooby won't even enter until you give them scooby snacks. So the first thing you want to do is enter the theater to fill up your stash of scooby snacks. This game requires use of the keyboard arrow keys, and you have to be quick. The headless stuntman is chasing you and if he catches up to you before you've picked up your scooby snacks, he takes them from you. My 4 year old is a whiz at using the mouse to navigate, but not so good at using the arrow keys. So, even on the easiest level, he can't work the arrows fast enough to collect his scooby snacks - so he can't really work this game independently.
On the plus side, one thing this case files game does have that we have not seen in some of the "easier" scooby games is printable activities. As you walk around the movie studio, you will collect movie clip reels. When you click on the reel, it offers you the opportunity to print an activity that you can do offline.
This is a really great game and I'm sure we'll "grow into it". If you have older kids who are more adept at using the computer, then I definitely recommend this case file game. If, like me, you have a younger child, I'd suggest starting with Jinx at the Sphinx and work your way up to this one.
 Great!!! June 21, 2007

I love Scooby-Doo games! You get to solve mysteries by finding clues. When you get enough clues you get to guess who it is. The videogames are even better like Scooby-Doo Unmasked, Scooby-Doo Night of a Hundred Frights, and Scooby-Doo Mystery Mahem. Their all great!
