            One of the most underrated games ever

            This game had gorgeous graphics and a unique style to it, especially for 2003. The characters are lovable and funny and Grant Kirkhope creates a perfect score that is both catchy and fits the situations incredibly well. I loved this game as a child and still do; the house and map overall was brilliantly made, it never takes itself too seriously with the creatures had individual quirks you wouldn't expect from their darker horror stereotypes. This game was underrated and I would kill for a sequel to be released in its original art style and characters

            A cute little horror game, but really really hard

            One of my favorite game companies, Rare, made this cutesy horror game exclusively for Xbox. It is pretty fun and all, until you get to the later levels. Then you're screwed. Owner of the mansion Baron Von Ghoul sends hordes of Ghoulies after you, and sometimes in packs they are basically unstoppable. They beat the guts out of you so you can't even attack, and that's not fun at all. Other than that though I really enjoyed this game, even though the graphics are a bit aged and blocky. I recommend it to anyone who is up to a big, bad, extreme challenging game.

            7/10 or: C+

            Most underrated horror game.

            I remember playing this game as a kid back in summer camp. I do get scare of this game and I like how cartoon-ish this is. The gameplay was good but not great as you expected. Everything else in this game has a hilarious humor that I enjoyed and if you have kids, they'll probably enjoy this game.

            Grabbed By The Ghoulies - a VERY underrated game.

            I've had so much fun playing this game recently. I first found out about GBTG when I was younger, The game stuck with me. I had been trying to get my hands on a copy since my original version stopped working. In October (2015) I found it for sale.

            Gameplay - The game is so fun! The mansion has so many weird rooms with insane challenges to keep you interested throughout. The controls were weird at first but I quickly got used to them. The monsters are so unpredictable and they make the game unique.

            Characters - The characters are hilarious! They all have unique personalities that make the game worth replaying.

            Graphics - The graphics are great! They give the game a visual style that's like no other game I've ever played. They hold up incredibly well.

            Thanks for reading!

            An absolutely GROUNDBREAKING game!

            Where to begin. This game breaks all barriers when it comes to video games. It's one of the most innovative games that came out by the time it released, and I truly believe it will stay this way for years to come.

            This game follows an incredibly intricate, and ingenious storyline and offers phenomenal character development.

            Speaking of characters, the dialogue and interactions are so intense that they keep you on the edge of your seat. The gameplay and graphics are beyond anyone has ever seen and ever will. I truly believe this is humanity's greatest creation and nothing can surpass it.
