common sense media says

Zoinks! Scooby-Doo's surrounded by ads!


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that there are ads all over: one short ad and one tall one on the side of the Web page plus a banner ad at the top. All are clearly marked "Advertisement" and point you to the Warner Bros. shop and purchases such as video games and faster modems. Mac users beware -- the games run very very slowly. PC users don't have this problem.

More on ScoobyDoo

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about amateur sleuthing. Do you think it would be fun to solve mysteries involving monsters and ghosts? How do Scooby and pals make the idea of chasing monsters and ghosts less scary?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
In general the games are clever and fun, but before you can play the games you'll have to watch a brief ad about an upcoming Warner Brothers movie, a CD, or Vanilla Mint Listerine, among others. Because of all those doggone ads, sometimes you'll be asking yourself, "Scooby-Doo, where are you?"

 

Also, watch out if you're using a Macintosh computer: The games run slowly and the controls react even slower. It's not impossible to play using a Mac, but PC users running Internet Explorer get an entirely different gameplay experience.

Online interaction: Kids can post comments in a moderated bulletin board and send postcards to their friends.
