THQ announced that Scooby-Doo! Mystery Mayhem, licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and based on the classic Scooby-Doo! television series, is now available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube at retailers throughout North America.
We all know, more or less, what to expect from a Scooby-Doo game but this time round the developers have tried to include some new features including a new style of adventure gameplay that calls for cooperation between Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, leveraging character-specific skills and friendship to successfully solve the mystery.
Players will lead the teenage sleuths through Scooby-Doo! Mystery Mayhem to solve a mystery of supernatural proportions. Players must maneuver Scooby and Shaggy, each with his own unique abilities, including crawling though holes, donning scuba gear for underwater exploration and climbing to retrieve out-of-reach items. Adventure-style gameplay involves capturing and outrunning monsters, searching for clues, hilarious costume changes and puzzle-solving in five creepy environments such as an abandoned movie set, the ghoulish Wild West, a dank bayou, and a monster-infested laboratory. Each of these sprawling locations features multiple levels with numerous cut scenes and climactic boss battles. True Scooby-Doo fans will recognize authentic cartoon voice actors and effects from the cartoon such as canned laughter and classic catch phrases.
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Mayhem for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance shipped last fall and is also available at retailers nationwide. Scooby-Doo! 2: Monsters Unleashed for Game Boy Advance and PC CD-ROM are scheduled to ship in conjunction with the feature film of the same name later this month.
