Amazon.com Review: Can you help Fred, Velma, and the gang solve the mystery behind the Phantom Knight and his dragon? Scooby-Doo: Phantom of the Knight offers laughs, pretty good animation, and a series of challenging puzzles to entertain young children for hours. Since the villain and clues change with each new adventure, replay is just as much fun as the very first game. Set up much like an episode of the classic television series, the program puts players in an old, castle-themed amusement park to explore for clues to its haunting. Some of the scarier areas will require feeding Scooby or Shaggy to coax them in; snacks can be obtained by several tests of skill along the way.
Once enough clues have been collected, players decide who's to blame, then check to see if the guess is right in an action sequence that closes play. Three levels of difficulty are available, and each offers increasing pressure in the form of red-herring clues and harder challenges to acquire Scooby Snacks. Installation is very simple, and the CD-ROM comes with several Scooby-related goodies like a printable poster and online previews of upcoming movies. (Ages 5 to 10) --Rob Lightner

Rating: - Great game - a lot of fun
This is a fun game. I can't believe it has gotten such bad reviews. All you have to do is listen. The characters tell you exactly what to do. I can't believe full-grown adults can't do this game. It's a children's game. It's very simple. It would be nice if it were more different when playing through again. It makes it too easy the second time around. It's a good game to get out every now and then when you have forgotten where things were last time.
Rating: - What a great game!
I think I am buying this now for the fifth time (for one of the grandparents' house)...our 3-14 year old nephews and 6 year old niece LOVE this game, and so do my husband and I. It's intriguing enough for just about everyone. Unlike other reviewers (ahem!), I shall not give away any of the pathways for getting through the game. After all, the fun is in finding them out. However, for the youngest, it is good to know the game well, so you can give hints in the right direction, sometimes quite literally. As a student of music, I was pleasantly surprised on how accurate your timing has to be to get more scooby snacks when you get down with the wizard. This is not an easy game, nor is it short, both making it all the better for a game you don't just play a couple of times then forget about. If you like challenge, you will really enjoy this game. And, yes, like Showdown in Ghost Town, Jinx at the Sphinx, etc, it's remarkably like the cartoon series in sound, prose, and image.
Rating: - The trick to solving the mystery is...
This game is a lot of fun and requires a good deal of focus. The trick to getting around the game environment and solving the mystery is to listen closely to all of the clues. I found that when adults played the game they had a hard time catching all of the dialogue clues because they wanted to rush through and get to the end. This and the other two Scooby-Doo mystery series titles from The Learning Company provided my family with hours of fun, we just had to listen to the clues.
Rating: - A good game!
I found this game to be very enjoyable. Yes, it was challenging the first time, but that's what makes it fun. Anyways, I recommend Phantom of the Knight to anyone that likes Scooby-Doo.
Rating: - Great fun & learning
My 5-yr-old LOVES this game! With an age range being 5-10 I thought it'd be too hard for her, but after I showed her how to play, she can solve the mystery with her favorite characters. Yes, it is basically the same mystery over & over, but that's what she likes about it (It's like reading a favorite book again & again). There's alot of logic & sequencing needed & builds memory skills. You have to remember how to get to all the different rooms through many secret passages and find the clues in a certain order. This is loads of fun. We will be getting the rest of these mystery adventures.
- Great game - a lot of fun
- A good game!
