Scooby Doo Unmasked
- Also Available On: GameCube, Xbox, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance
Scooby-Doo fans will be pleased to hear, the Scooby gang is back in another horror-filled adventure in Scooby-Doo: Unmasked. This time the slobbering wonder dog with an eating disorder has some niftypower-ups to help him as well as access to three ultra power-up costumes: a Robin Hood-like archer costume that allows Scooby to shoot toilet plungers at enemies, a bat suit which gives Scooby flying and gliding abilities, and a kung fu outfit which instantly turns Scooby into an ultra sleek kung fu master. You’ll need the help of all three costumes too, as the enemies are harder than in previous Scooby-Doo games. The story begins when Fred takes his girl Daphne and friends Velma, Shaggy and Scooby to an up-and-coming special effects house to his cousin Jed. The proprietor of Monstrous Fright&Magic: Monsters While You Wait claims Jed is a thief who trashed the place trying to steal Mubber, a super material that can be formed into anything. Scooby, controlled in conventional 3rd person actio… More >>
I definately like “100 Nights of Frights better”! In “Unmasked”, the monsters don’t even chase you! It’s ok but my fave is still nights of frights.
Scooby Doo Unmasked is definately my favorite video game. It’s cute funny
and just challenging enough so i dont get bored. If youre the type of person that plays video games 24/7 and your farorite game is something like bloodgusher 3 you’d think its stupid, but its really funny and perfect for scooby doo fans. It’s a good buy, Youll want to play it over and over!!!!
My oldest daughter loves the game and that’s who it was for so over all it was a good choice.
This is my second Scooby Doo game on PS2. There are already three of them: Night of 100 frights, Mystery Mayhem and Unmasked. I got Mystery Mayhem and Unmasked and Unmasked is better but it still got problems.
The graphics are… yes. Cel-shaded. Scooby and the gang look good but the baddies less so. There is this guy called Guitar Ghoul and he looks awful. THe environments look good but sometimes, objects just disappear; a problem seen in the recent The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.
The music is great. A mix of techno and soft rock is always welcome and I haven’t seen that mix work so well since my all-time fav game Sonic Heroes. Sly Cooper And The Theivus Racoonus also got it right and so did Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal. The voices are brilliant. Scooby sounds like Scooby. Shaggy sounds like Shaggy. Velma sonds like Velma etc.
The gameplay itself has some new parts that are more than welcome. Unlike Mystery Mayhem, Unmasked got combat. The classic Crash Bandicoot Spin and the Sonic style Spin Dash. There are also costumes. THe Kung Fu/Ninja costume is great because it gives Scooby the ability to fight even better. There is a super charge-up attack that is powerful and will defeat any animatron in a 1 hit. The bat costume is useless because you only need it like 3 times in the game.
The game is short. Very short. I git it yesterday and already have cleared 50% of it. Bummer.
Best bit of the game: The entire first world: Shuddery Showdown in Chinatown.
Worst bit of the game: Either the entire second world: Rocking Rollercoaster TERROR or the emerassingly awful intro video.

By the way: IM THE FIRST FRIGGIN REVIEWER!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I got this game becasue my 4 year old LOVES Scooby Doo, and he would watch me play. Now, I’m not a gaming expert, but I have beaten DOOM (not bad for a girl), but this game is not easy. Although some parts are easy to get through, there are some parts that have taken me hours of trying. My son loves to watch me play, but I don’t even know how a young teen could do some of the tricky maneuvers. It’s great for kids to watch, but unless they are awesome at gaming, it’s better for adults to play.
