If you don’t know who Scooby-Doo is, turn on the TV or check the marquee at the movie theater.

The cartoon chow hound with a lust for Scooby Snacks and a knack for getting in and out of trouble is now the star of a hugely popular movie. THQ and developer Heavy Iron Studios are hoping for the same success for a new PlayStation 2 title, “Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights.”

In this epic tale of adventure and fine dining, Daphne, a member of the Mystery Inc. gang along with Scoob, Shaggy, Velma and Fred, is asked for help by an old friend, Holly.

Turns out Holly’s family home is a haunted house, known as Mystic Manor. Holly’s uncle, noted inventor Professor Alexander Graham, lives in the house overlooking a fishing village.

But the area has been overrun by monsters. And the professor and the entire gang disappears.

Thus starts our tale, in which Scooby-Doo has to search three areas Mystic Manor, Smuggler’s Cove and the Haunted Grounds if he hopes to find his pals and solve the mystery of the monsters.

In classic platform style, Scooby-Doo has to collect Scooby Snacks and other items that aid him in his quest. Once he rescues the entire gang, they can enter the Super Secret Lab and meet the Mastermind, who will reveal the reasons behind his evil scheme.

The game won’t go down as a classic, but it has its moments. The trouble is, they are rare. You spend a huge amount of time scarfing down Scooby Snacks, and there isn’t a lot of novelty as far as game play is concerned.
