Don't believe the ratings here, rent this do NOT buy it!

I'm not a huge Goosebumps fan, but my son (who is now grown man) used to read these before bed when we had to do nightly reading. I thought they were great and bought probably fifty of these books. Then wanting to rekindle a similar spark in my daughter, took her to see the movie, which we all enjoyed. Then I played both versions of this game. This is not related to any of the books as far as I can tell and is certainly not the movie. It's a budget cash in and not worth the price, unless you are renting it. It is a quick 1000, so I recommend renting it for gamerscore, but I cannot recommend this for anything else. The puzzle elements weren't good, the story wasn't good, the are design wasn't even cool or stylized. This game surely was a quick cash grab.

  • I have to admit, I only played this game because I knew it was quick points. That means I had no expectations going in, so they were neither met nor was I disappointed (I mean I went in for the point, I got the points). That said, the game was not good, and I would not play this late at night if you are sleepy. The entire game consists of you...

  • I actually really liked this game. Not enough to rate it higher than it should be, but I enjoyed the art style and traversal. In a way it reminded me of like old Castlevania 2D games minus the action bits. I was keeping a map of the game in my head, remembering how to get from area to area, and there were only a few spots where I was completely lost and didn't know...

  • I usually rant about these 'artsy' experiences, however, this game actually delivers a unique experience. It is a really short game, but I honestly can't think of another game with similar mechanics. You play a young blind girl and the world around you is drawn in based on sound alone. So as you navigate around the world (the story is you chasing down a stray cat you...

  • You know what I hate? Crap games we all are supposed to pretend we like because they are artsy and has a deep message. I watched an interview with one of the developers talking about the control scheme and how it's "..like tying your shoes, both hands work in concert without you having to concentrate on it. That's the feeling we were trying to create." No. No. No. The...

  • I know this game is very very highly rated, and even I'm giving it a four outta of five stars. It's very well made, and has some great touches like replaying levels in collectible mode that others in the genre should copy. However, this was not for me, and I'm going to tell you why, but there will be spoilers so if you don't want to risk it, move on. ...
