My Thoughts
I grew up, loving the book series of The Goosebumps. I could devour them in a sitting. I've been sharing them with my son and when we got the chance to try out this game, I was excited. We tried the xBox 360 version. I found the graphics to the game to be great. Very clear, bright, and colorful. My son is a pro with using the controller, I am not. I was able to catch on fast though.
The game is rated for players 10 and up. My son is 11. He doesn't have much knowledge on Goosebumps, just an interest in the upcoming movie. I have to admit, we both had a struggle with this game and got to a point where neither of us could go any further. We tried everything we could, but had no luck, which was disappointing.
Usually when this happens, I go to google and search out some tips, but I wasn't able to find anything at this time. Overall, we really liked the game and I hope in time, we can get past the area we are stuck and keep enjoying the game. After all, a good challenge once and a while is a good thing.
