The Scooby-Doo movies would not feature real supernatural creatures again until Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King, though at the end of Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster Scooby sees the real monster before saying his catch-phrase bewildered.Ī strange virus from a new game based on the Mystery Gang's past adventures comes to life and tries to scare away the game's creator, so Mystery, Inc. This is the last Scooby-Doo movie to feature real monsters. This was the first Scooby-Doo video game to be on a sixth generation handheld. This movie, along with Aloha, Scooby-Doo!, were the first Scooby-Doo movies to be re-released on Blu-ray on April 5th, 2011.Ī video game based on this film was made by THQ in 2001 for the PlayStation and Game Boy Advance. It is the fourth and final of the first four Scooby Doo film to be animated overseas by Japanese animation studio: Mook Animation. had fully absorbed Hanna-Barbera after the passing of founder and creator William Hanna. It is recognized as the last "official" Hanna-Barbera production, as Warner Bros. Animation, yet carries a Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc. As is the case with all Scooby-Doo-related projects, the film is produced, starting in 2000, by Warner Bros. gang, which includes Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Freddy, Daphne and Velma. Doesn't include a free packet of Cornflakes.Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase is 2001 animated comedy-horror film based on Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo Saturday morning cartoons.It would still be better than Cyber Chase. Failing that, you could just get the kids to throw beanbags into a bucket while watching a Scooby DVD. You could even have proper Scooby-Doo! challenges like hiding in a barrel, gargling the original theme tune or eating a fifteen layer sandwich in one mouthful. That white thing on a blue background - that's a magnet.Ĭonclusion: If you have any creative talent whatsoever, you could make a better Scooby-Doo! board game than this (particularly if you already have the 3D game and re-use some of the pieces). This is probably for the best, though - Velma looks like the granny in Tweety and Sylvester.Īll in all, this would be a worthwhile bonus if it came free in a box of Cornflakes but, even if you see it somewhere for a fiver, think carefully before paying for it. Even the playing pieces are moulded from such shiny, garish plastic, it's difficult to make out the lumpy detail. The 'cards' are thin, basic and a little pointless. The board itself is sturdy but covered in dreadful artwork (most of which has little to do with Scooby-Doo!). Everything else about the game looks and feels cheap. The best thing in Cyber Chase is the picture of the Scooby Gang in the middle of the board. The instructions are unclear and confusing, the design is dreadful and the challenges are desperate and dependent on luck. Unfortunately, the realisation of that idea is somewhat lacking. The idea of going round the board taking part in challenges to win prizes is great. There's no skill or strategy involved, so a three-year-old can play, given a little supervision.Ĭomments: There's the basis of a good game here somewhere. To be honest, though, even if you can read, the directions don't make much sense. Object: To be the first player to make their way back round the board to the start with all three of their snacks and the magnet.Īge: 6+ officially but that's probably because most of the squares have written instructions on them. Pick one of the samurai cards at random and hope it's the one with the picture of the unbroken sword.Spin a higher number than the player on your left.Guess whether the spinner will land on yellow or orange.If the spinner lands on the magnet rather than a number, the player doesn't move but receives the magnet card from whoever currently has it. They must stop at the corners of the board to complete challenges in order to collect snacks. Gameplay: Players take it in turns to spin the spinner and move round the board the indicated number of spaces. 18 cards (3 snacks for each player, 2 samurai cards, 1 magnet card).5 plastic playing pieces in the rough shape of Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Velma, Fred & Daphne.
