I Spy Spooky Mansion 

 

Hey everybody its Kid Gamer. I am back in the saddle helping out the most amazing personality in all of the video game industry. I am going to write an amazing review on I Spy Spooky Mansion. Do you know who else writes amazing reviews? MY DAD!!! I Spy Spooky Mansion is a Wii game where we get locked in a haunted house with a female skeleton character.

With the horror theme, and all the scary images guess which descriptors the ESRB used to describe I Spy Spooky Mansion? None. They could not find a way to educate the public to the scary images, creepy sounds, and horror filled theme found within I Spy Spooky Mansion on the Wii. Well I did - I just did.

The lack of puzzle screens is one the major disappointments with I Spy Spooky Mansion. There is also no hints. If you can’t find something, you are stuck. Unless someone comes along to help you. Like MY DAD!!! The skeleton character has lame jokes and rhymes we have to endure while playing this home console game. The controls can be laggy at times too.

The long instructions before playing any mini game are annoying. I wanted to play the mini game, and even if I played it before I Spy Spooky Mansion had to explain all of the instructions. I hit every single button and skipping was not an option. The mini games are also extremely boring, and easy to beat.

I am not impressed with the graphics in I Spy Spooky Mansion. Nor am I impressed with items that look like what we are looking for, but not actually the right thing. It can be too easy to leave a room, and have to endure the lengthy sequence of going down stairs, closing the door, etc.

There are a few learning opportunities in I Spy Spooky Mansion. Like picking numbers to put into an addition problem. For example ? + 3 = 5. The kid has to pick the right number, and put it on the question mark. Skip I Spy Spooky Mansion - that is my advice.
