Amazon.com Product Description
Scooby-Doo! First Frights is a 3D action platformer and companion game to "Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins," a live-action prequel to the original series which releases on DVD and on the Cartoon Network in Fall 2009. Filled with the same hair-raising, yet family-friendy fun that has made the Scooby-Doo! franchise iconic for decades, First Frights is a fresh take on an old favorite featuring multiple game modes, a co-op play option, and a young version of Scooby, and teenage representations of all your other favorite Mystery, Inc. characters. Story
In Scooby-Doo! First Frights players witness the roots of Mystery Inc. as the gang unites for the first time to solves some of its first mysteries. The story picks up right where the DVD/Cartoon Network leaves off as Scooby, Shaggy and the rest of the super-cool teen Mystery, Inc. gang explore spooky environments, solve puzzles, combat enemies and collect clues to unmask devious villains and gain prestige as world famous sleuths. With ghosts and ghouls around every corner, high school has never sounded so fun.

Very well-polished game that truly captures the feel and character of the original Scooby Doo series. From the excellent voice acting (Fred, Shaggy and Scooby are the stand-outs,) to the laugh track and 'Chase' sequences - everything a Scooby fan could want is here. You get the chance to play as different characters as the gang "splits up" to solve a mystery. You may, for example, play as Shaggy and Scooby while they are looking for clues - then, the story line switches and you play as the other members of the gang who are exploring a different area. Sometimes, meeting up and switching characters. Great action sequences, as well. Only animated punching and kicking of the bad guys - not violent in any way.
In general, the difficulty level is relatively easy - making it very accessible for younger gamers. With co-op mode (and the ability of the 2nd player to drop in and out of the game at any time,) my 6 y/o and I have had a great time playing this one together. There are some spots that the younger set will probably need someone to help them with. I originally figured that I would drop in/drop out only when my 6 y/o needed help, but quickly found the two of us playing together for the entire game and having a great time.
The only negative thing that I can point out is that sometimes the camera can get a little wonky and be difficult to follow (a la Super Mario 64,) but this is only a minor complaint and probably true of most 3D games in some regard. It happens realtively infrequently, anyway, so it is really a non-issue in my book.
If you like Scooby Doo, then you should love this game. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the gameplay and accessibilty for the younger gamer. Often times, TV or movie licenses that are made into video games are nothing more than broken shovelware. Not so, here! Torus Games has created a first class product.
The XBOX 360 or PS3 fanboy/fangirl will probably find this game FAR too easy in terms of gameplay. But for the Scooby fan or the casual or younger gamer, it should be a big hit.
A fine game for children and the young at heart September 29, 2009

I played the Wii version of this game (which is a fine game too) and expected the DS version to be watered down like the DS version of Ghostbusters (not recommended). I was wrong. This is almost a perfect port of the console game.
The game is divided up into 4 episodes. Like the original show there is a mystery which by the end of the episode you (hopefully) solve. The game play is well done. You feel like you are in a cartoon, the cut scenes are very good and feature voice acting from the characters in the recent Scooby doo dvd film.
My only complaint is Scooby is a little on the easy side. Of course you are probably reading this to decide to whether to buy the game for your children at Christmas and the difficulty is perfect for a child, the easy difficulty makes this a good game for an adult as it works well in a pick up play for a few minutes type of situation as well.
The bottom line is it's fun and worth your money. Your kids won't be disappointed if they find this under the tree and you may have some fun with it as well.
I hope developers will take note of how to do a DS port right and put the time and effort into future releases as is evident in this game.
Great Game for Kids, and Moms! October 1, 2009

This a great game to play. My 4 year old and I can play together and both have fun. He plays Star Wars and Batman Legos and this is right up his alley, with only Boss fights being a bit tough for him. I am picky about which video game I like to play, Super Mario, Batman Legos, game show games and I am really enjoying this game. It is very much like Legos games except you don't build things. I can see this game being finished quickly, only 22 levels, but the replay value is great as you have to attempt to find all the Scooby snacks and clues and tags in each level. I would recommend this game for those of you who like Legos and Super Mario Galaxy. This is not a difficult game, by any means, but a fun-for-all-family members game.

Then you'll surely love this game as it captures the spirit of the popular animated series right down to the chase scenes and Scooby-snacks.
It gives you a unique chance to play as all 5 members of Mystery inc, but as a much younger stages and in 2 person team-ups.Each level is design to fit that member of the gang and it's gameplay is very easy ways for younger players to understand.
The stages are Split up into two ways...Story mode and Explorer mode, it's Explorer mode that you have to use if you want to get more goodies after playing the levels the first time in Story mode.
Like all Scooby games there are monsters that you can beat through the ways of combat, as it split into two ways: long Range (Shaggy, Velma and Fred) to Melee (Scooby And Daphne). However, in the game you'll collect special costumes that the gang can use in that level, and that you can buy later after you complete that level. Each costume has a unique ability that you can use to help you defeat more monster foes.
Young or old, if your a fan of Scooby-doo, then this is the game for you.
Excellent Game for Scooby Fans! September 27, 2009

An outstanding game for your Scooby fan. My kids are huge fans of Scooby Doo and we've played every video game we could find on PS2, PSP, DS, and PC. First Frights is one of the best!
It has 4 Episodes/Mysteries. The graphics are just fine-nothing too outstanding but very good for the PS2 (crisp, clear, with good color). The controls are superb without any glitches or freezes and the voice acting does the job. My son is on his second playthrough. The game is not very difficult but he did have to battle some of the bosses more than once. It took him about 12 hours to get through the entire game. This is the perfect length for a 9 year old.
In comparison with some of the other SD games for the PS2 this is probably the easiest we've encountered. It is not like the Dora the Explorer or Diego games (those are ultra easy) and it has some challenge but it is nothing like some of the other SD games that are actually quite difficult in places. My kids also liked the PS2 version of Mystery Mayhem. They were less fond of the other Scooby games for the PS1 and PS2.
If you have a young Scooby fan (I would recommend the ideal ages to be about 7-12) I cannot recommend this title highly enough. I would consider it a must buy and a really great value for your money.
