This game is criminally underrated. It's challenging, got a good Soundtrack, atmospheric, true to the source material, and good plot. Only problem with it is that they hide items into places that you wouldn't be able to find in order to 100% the game. Like the minecart stage, and the Motorcycle level, who's going to figure that out?
Thank you! There's one more video to go in this marathon and then after that I'll be wrapping up another big marathon I've been working on for a while 😀
Absolutely love this game from back when. The capture combat felt really awesome, and the exploration in this game raised me to enjoy exploration based games. I hope to someday create a game that uses the capture mechanic from this game, and Luigi's mansion. It feels untapped.
While the gameplay for Mystery Mayhem is not very good, I always did like the concept of the gang facing off against real ghosts and monsters. I also really like the idea of The Tome of Doom, though I always thought that it should have had a dark backstory behind it. Maybe an explanation as to where the book was pulling the monsters from, how and why the book is able to conjure spirits, and a bit more lore on the book’s name and infamous history would have helped to add juicier details behind it.
The gameplay is quite basic, but it was still quite enjoyable! Yeah these Scooby Doo games don't really do a very good job of expanding on the characters or story very much do they... Having some more lore to discover like that would have been a really nice touch!
Ahh yes, don't know why I didn't notice this video, but yeah the company that changed their names because Artificial Mind And Movement or as it was also named A2M had the distinction of being slang for Ass To Mouth :D
Absolutely love this game, I grew up playing it on my GameCube and it’s just got so much nostalgia for me that even if it is subpar at best I’ll always love it
i love the music, atmosphere, story, voice acting and stuff. the issue for me is that the camera in the game and the controlling of the characters are both fairly stiff.
Maaaan this was my childhood favourite along with unmasked! I've bought this game three separate times from CEX and it's never worked. 😫😫 looking at it up on my shelf and knowing I can't play it is horrible.
That's really weird! I got my version from CEX too but luckily mine works! Could it be your PS2 instead of the game discs? My big PS2 doesn't like playing certain games and is really loud but then when I swap to the slim PS2 it works perfectly. It could be some really weird compatibility issue maybe? Unless you're just ridiculously unlucky haha!
This one is probably my favorite of the three. Never got to finish Unmasked though. I remember during the Red Knight chase in the 2nd episode, I would always let Scooby and Shaggy get scared and see how fast I'd get ahead of him and how fast it would take for him to catch up hehe
I remember playing this as a kid (renting it from blockbuster haha) and I loved it! I never got to finish it cause my renting time ran out. But I always remembered the movie studio level (according to online its the 2nd level.). I actually bought all 3 ps2 games (this, 100 nights, and Unmasked) to relive that nostalgia.
I can definitely see why. It isn't a game for everyone that's for sure, it's very slow paced which probably isn't what you'd expect from a Scooby Doo game.
You should've also mentioned why they changed from Artificial Mind & Movement back to BEhavior, it makes for a good laugh 😂 at least, from what I've heard. Basically, they often summed their name to A2M... which is also short for something I think it's best not for me to say, but a quick search should suffice.
All was well until you pronounced the word 'thorough' as 'tho-row'. GRRR :( Please don't go all American! I think you also said "off of" which again makes no sense in UK English. Apart from that, another great in-depth video Rob xx
Wait, how are you supposed to pronounce it? Haha, did I just pronounce it weirdly in this one video? I'm sure I always say that word in the same way! Is 'off of' grammatically incorrect? Surely saying "he took that off of him" or something to that effect still works? You're changing my world-view with all of this :D
@@PixelPursuit the "of" is completely unnecessary. "He took that OFF him" is concise enough. Next you'll be talking about "wait lists" for Christmas game orders!! Thorough is pronounced the same as borough, Wellingborough. Keep practicing, you'll be pixel perfect!! X
I suppose that does makes sense! Haha, I wouldn't go that far! I'm pretty certain that I normally pronounce it like that, so it must have been a one off :D

Yeah, I literally didn't get all of the items in a single level and I'm normally pretty good at finding secrets in games!
The GBA version of this game gave Shaggy overpowered abilities lol.
I only ever played that one. I've never played this original Xbox version but one day, man...one day.
Had this game as a kid, loved every minute of it but i could never find all ingredients for the sandwich in 2 levels, especially the swamp part.
Man this marathon is awesome keep it up
Thank you! There's one more video to go in this marathon and then after that I'll be wrapping up another big marathon I've been working on for a while 😀
@@PixelPursuit ohhh I see
@Pixel Pursuit these are excellently made

Haha, yeah that's a very unfortunate name that they went for originally wasn't it! :D
Scooby-Doo is six degrees from Dead by Daylight.
BHVR you KNOW what you need to do.

I loved the scooby doo games as a kid I wish they would remaster them on the new consoles
You never know! If SpongeBob BFBB can get a remaster then anything is possible!

Hopefully you can find a emulator on PC
This was my childhood
I'm sorry
Wow, you are very underrated.
Thank you! I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos 😀
loved this game
A lot of people seem to really like these Scooby Doo games! I thought that nobody would even remember them haha!
I have... never played any Scooby-Doo games beside Night Of 100 Frights.
Some of them might be worth checking out! Unmasked was actually my favourite of the three that I looked at!
I think this was one of the first games I rented from blockbuster as a kid that I was able to beat before needing to return it
This one is probably my favorite of the three. Never got to finish Unmasked though. I remember during the Red Knight chase in the 2nd episode, I would always let Scooby and Shaggy get scared and see how fast I'd get ahead of him and how fast it would take for him to catch up hehe

played it, got stuck at the western area... then dropped it.
I can definitely see why. It isn't a game for everyone that's for sure, it's very slow paced which probably isn't what you'd expect from a Scooby Doo game.
@@PixelPursuit was never good with nonsensical puzzles either way..
My favorite part of the game was the Mine cart section.
Another video 😯
I know! Hopefully there's going to be weekly uploads for a few more weeks now!
When life was simple
Can't be the only one that thinks 100 frights is dog shit
