Scooby Doo Unmasked
March 12, 2009 by Xbox Reviews
Filed under Video Games
Scooby-Doo fans will be pleased to hear, the Scooby gang is back in another horror-filled adventure in Scooby-Doo: Unmasked. This time the slobbering wonder dog with an eating disorder has some nifty power-ups to help him as well as access to three ultra power-up costumes: a Robin Hood-like archer costume that allows Scooby to shoot toilet plungers at enemies, a bat suit which gives Scooby flying and gliding abilities, and a kung fu outfit which instantly turns Scooby into an ultra sleek kung fu master. You’ll need the help of all three costumes too, as the enemies are harder than in previous Scooby-Doo games. The story begins when Fred takes his girl Daphne and friends Velma, Shaggy and Scooby to an up-and-coming special effects house to his cousin Jed. The proprietor of Monstrous Fright & Magic: Monsters While You Wait claims Jed is a thief who trashed the place trying to steal Mubber, a super material that can be formed into anything. Scooby, controlled in conventional 3rd person action platforming, transitions between forward moving and sidescrolling platforming segements, spins around furiously to attack and break crates, slides, and belly-flop to crush stronger object with absolute Scoo-Doobly-Doo damage. Each environment offers a set of fairly large sub-sections, within each a variety of challenges. Expect conveyor belts, flame spouts, steam vents, green crap, electrified water, big balloons and other such dangers. Scooby-Doo! Unmasked consists of three sprawling worlds and eleven levels that include Chinatown, a rollercoaster world, and a museum. Each level is packed with an incredible amount of action and things to do and discover, including lots of mini games. The camera has seen a large improvement over past Scooby installments, where it was difficult to even see where you were supposed to land. The art style takes a distinctive turn for the best with soft, warm colors and a very cartoonish look that’s ea

4 Stars STILL FUN, A GOOD LICENSED GAME 8.25 OUT OF 10
This game is just as fun as the PS2 version I played and reviewed. The gameplay still revolves around using golf clubs, hockey sticks, snowball guns, and various other weapons to take down demented rats, rabbits, gophers, etc., that have been taken over by the Verminator. Throughout the game you will avoid several laser traps, homicidal barbeques and bushes, steal food from houses, rescue the porcupine kids, unlock special features and minigames, and do so many other things in more than thirty missions of surprisingly good fun. You play as the characters from the movie; RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle, Stella the skunk and Hammy are the playable characters. While the other characters (and a few new ones) are there, they are not playable in the game. The graphics also look pretty decent for a last-generation game as well. Now to get to the bad; first the camera needs to fixed (It’s like I’m playing a PSone game). Second, controls need to be tightened (Why can’t I use the second analog stick to control the camera?). Third, the storyline is incoherent and seems to be sloppily put together. And last but not least, the game is more fun on multiplayer. This may seem like a laundry list of complaints, but they mostly seem to drift away while I destroy things, steal food and save my comrades from the Verminator. This game should go down as being among the handful of licensed games that don’t suck, because it really should.
5 Stars friends grandson
Purchased this game for a friend to give her grandson, so I am not sure about the product but at last count he was having fun with the game and thanked me for ordering it for his grandmother.
1 Star BAAAAD GAME
Guess what? I won this game 3 times in 1 hour. The game doesn’t even start where it should, it starts in the middle of the movie and has like 4 levels or something. I hated this game.
5 Stars My kids call it the best game they’ve ever played
My 8 and 6 years kids love it. They called it the best games they’ve ever played. The movement and action of all characters are so cute and they usually made us laugh. The character have to fight with other animals to finish some “missions”. However, they don’t really kill enemy…just stun them by various sports goods, toys, or toilet cleaning equipments. No bloody screen and no brutal action. This game can be played alone (with a partner assigned by game) or by 2 players and control is not complicated for young kids. This game is rated Everyone(10+), but I don’t think it causes any side-effect for kids under 10.
4 Stars Wife’s Happy!!
I usually purchase sports games but I was looking for a game to get my wife involved, she loved “Over The Hedge” so I thought we’d get the game. She couldn’t put down the controller. Not since “Zelda” has a game caught her attention. For me, it is what it is, a fun game to play with the wife.

5 Stars I’m Ready To Fight!!!!
This game is the best boxing game so far (that’s until Round 3 come out). The graphics are great plus the soundtrack and the haymaker I love that haymaker. It’s a very easy game to get hooked to. The best thing about this game is that you can do combos and knockouts out this world. You should get this game and you will love it. I got this for New Year’s and it was the best of the best.
5 Stars Great Improvement Over first one
I purchased this game because I enjoyed the first. The only problem I had with the first one was that it was very difficult to get high in the ranks before you were forced to retire. In this installment of the game you can just keep fighting, although with the slow loss of stats biting at your heals. The mini games to build your stats are easier. If you try to take the easy way out and to the auto train, you get lower results and can potentially hurt yourself, which in turn lowers stats. The gameplay itself is practially identical, with the addition of the haymaker. This is a more powerful hook or uppercut that takes more energy. A few well timed haymakers can turn the tides in almost any fight.
Changing weightclasses and unifying belts is a great addition as well.
Really nothing to say bad about this game other than it only has so much replayability. After you retire one fighter, making another is kinda fun, but you can only do that so many times.
4 Stars More realistic than the first, but less fun…
..Let me explain. The first Fight Night game introduced a new realism in boxing video games. It had realistic characters boxing styles stances, and a setup in which you could choose to fight a faster paced style, or one dedicated to more power. In Round 2 you see an improvement in detail, especially in the faces of the boxers. You are also introduced to something new which is the haymaker…which is both good and bad.
The haymaker, as you probably already know, is a punch where you put all of your might in order to try to score a knockout. The problem with this game is that it is very much focused around that one particular punch…and power in general. Your bob and weave doesn’t seem to be as effective this time around…and if one of your punches is paried…your arms fall for 2 or 3 seconds, pretty much guaranteeing the opponent will get a haymaker in. This makes the game feel very cheap..unlike in the first Fight Night game, where a parry leaves you open for a split second..which seems more realistic. Also, the movements of the characters seem choppier than last time.
There are other new additions, such as playing a cornerman, and tending to cuts and swelling between the rounds and the ability to chose between two types of training before fights.
In closing..if the gameplay was more like the first fight this game would be absolutely perfect. I grew tired of getting a punch blocked and standing there like an idiot until I got busted by a haymaker
5 Stars Almost Real!!!
This game is a great fighting game. You can create a person and start a career! When you punch people in the face they slowy begin to swell and then a cut will open and they begin to bleed! Every time you punch them blood splaters off their faces.
When you start off playing career mode you can make your own boxer or play with a known boxer. You start off in last place out of 50 other boxers you slowly work your way up to first place, then when you get to first place you have to defend your tittle!
There isn’t much to tell about this game, just that it has good graphics, good joyicestick control, and that its a good game.
5 Stars No Competition
Fight Night round 2 is the most well put together stunning boxing game there is, but they have no competition with Knockout kings out. The Graphics are fantastic you can see the sweat coming off of the boxer, to the amazing varity of clothes your boxer can where to all the traing you need to do to keep up in this game you will never fell let down by the 50 dollar price tag. The gameplay is outstanding using the right analog stick to throw different and unique punches to get a KO. Usually announcers get on your nerves with all there gay and limited phrases, But fight nights has a annoncer that tells you every last detail of whats going on and what to watch out for. Fight Nights incredibley realism is amazing after each round they tell if u did good or not and give u stats of that round. You even have to cure the cuts and stuff, as you rise the rankings to the best boxer. I give it 5 stars no problem.

5 Stars Great Fun
Loved creating my own team. Was really a blast beating all the challenges. I like the ‘street’ style. Makes for a lot of fun. And with the Gamebreakers, adds a little bit of strategy. Enjoy!
5 Stars A Successful Gift…..
My 13 year old nephew was begging for this for Christmas and when he opened it up, he went nuts….. so I guess it’s O.K.
3 Stars To much expectations
You guys I’m not saying this game is horible but I bought it the day it came out. The problem was I expecteid to see these steriod buff Ray Lewis football players breaking tackles all day long. Instead you get these smaller (Thank God) football players that play more realistic. This was a very positive and very frustating at the same time.
Now this is were all the extras come in handy. All the etras are really fun and addictive but you must hove friends to realy enjoy the mini games. So basiclly you hawve Nfl Street with mini games, a couple of story modes (sort of), an incredable customization system, Xzibt, and new wall moves and you have NFL Street 2.
So this game is pretty sweet with lots of replay value. But I feel EA games is getting sloppy and is doing exactly what Lucisarts did with Star Wars. Over all 4.5 out of 5.0
5 Stars For Kids or NOt?
NFL blitz is alive and well on the PSP. Only this time it is called NFL Street 2, and it is a little fancier. First the ugly: this game takes 15 hours to load each game. Not really, but that is what it feels like when you just want to play a quick game. The other ugly thing is that it seems a bit difficult to remember what all of the buttons do. So, though it is fun to do a crazy pitch to the running back or a behind the back throw to a receiver 50 yards away, you can never remember that you now have to control the running back or the receiver with a whole new set of controls. This is seen as a positive thing by many that believe the more complex the game, the more shelf life it will have in a collection. Now, the ugly said, this game is fun enough to last forever in your game collection. Does football ever get old? Then a game that is football on steroids done pretty darn well should not either. Finally, the mini-games are worth mentioning with games of smear the queer and 500 that are just loads of fun. There are a couple of others, but the two mentioned are the only games worth much.
Bottom Line: Is it fun? Get this fun football game. Will I keep it? yep. Is it for kids? Too many buttons.
5 Stars ausome Game
This game rule!!!!!! I thought the first one was great but this is amazing!! The best football in years. Much better than “Blitz the Leage” If you are football fan you will love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
