Like, wow, man! Scooby Doo and the gang are here on the GBC! Scooby Doo Classic Creep Capers magically captures all the fun from the cartoon classic to the small handheld Gameboy Color. The attention to detail is amazing, with the characters' looks and movements all faithfully copying the originals'. The game is an adventure, with you directing the characters around the settings collecting clues and objects. Players can choose from Shaggy/Scooby, Velma, or Daphne and Fred to explore different parts of the game. Take note that you'll have to swap around between characters to gather all the clues.

The graphics and sounds are superb, which really add to the fun. The interface is a little tricky to figure out initially, as the different commands for use/pick-up, look and talk can be confusing. But after playing awhile, it's not hard. The manual describes the objectives for each "chapter", and gives good descriptions for each control. The only problem is that the game is entirely too short and won't take long to finish. And, because it's an adventure game, the replayability factor is small.

However, this is a wonderful adaptation of everyone's favorite sleuth, Scooby Doo. We've thoroughly enjoyed playing it, we just wish it was longer. We would love to see more of Scooby Doo on the GBC or GB Advance, hopefully new ones will come out that offer more playing time.
