Goosebumps The Game
SCORE: 68
Family Friendly Gaming was recently provided a digital download copy
of Goosebumps The Game. This hand held video game on the Nintendo 3DS
comes in the much sought after physical copy format too (which we had
actually requested since physical copies do less damage than digital
downloads). This is a video game that can scare kids. It can even scare
adults with some of the freaky images and unsettling sounds. Goosebumps
The Game does warn families that it intends to scare you.
The visuals on Goosebumps The Game are on the dark side. There are
ghosts, and other scary characters in Goosebumps The Game. I learned one
important lesson in Goosebumps The Game. What is that lesson? Do not
trust anybody. Every single time I trusted someone my character wound up
dead. I also had to learn to find certain items to get past certain
areas.
Goosebumps The Game feels and plays like Shadowgate. Goosebumps The Game
looks better than the 8-bit NES video game. Players use the little
joystick or a stylus on the screen to move the green hand cursor around
the screen, then press a button to see if there is any interaction with
that object. Maybe it is something we can pick up, or maybe we can open
a cabinet.
The key to Goosebumps The Game is finding where things go. Some of them
are easy like weed killer on a plant man who kills you. Or a certain key
to unlock a certain door. Other things require a bit more thought. I
also found I could try objects against certain places to see if they
worked. Goosebumps The Game contains a fair amount of trial and error.
Once you figure it out, then Goosebumps The Game feels really short.
Goosebumps The Game describes the various death scenes with words. Some
of the images in Goosebumps The Game can give kids nightmares.
Wayforward took an interesting gamble with this franchise. I did not
expect Goosebumps The Game to be this kind of a point and click
adventure. Surprisingly it works for Goosebumps The Game. At least in my
opinion.
