Goosebumps Horrorland on the DS is not going to wow anyone with graphics, sound or gameplay. It really looks like a game created for the PSone and doesn't use the DS controls much. Having said that, I am really enjoying playing this game and rated it higher than I would have based on it's individual parts. It is basically a collection of mini-games that are wrapped in a story about a boy trying to get through Horrorland. The mini-games are sometimes silly and easy but somehow entertaining. If you like theme parks and enjoyed either the Horrorland books/video then you will find this a nice diversion. Be warned the one thing about the game that is annoying is that the "camera angle" of the walking part of the game is third person and cannot be changed. Basically you watch the main character from the air in a fixed spot. You cannot control what you view like some games. This was not what I expected. Also the DS touch screen isn't used in a way you would expect - in a driving bumber cars game you use the control pad, not the steering wheel that is show on the lower touch screen (this seemed odd). But for some reason, this game has won me over.

This is an entertaining game with several mini games. I usually purchase games that have some educational value and this seems lacking. The weird thing is...it is fun. My daughter loves it and I've become addicted. If you're looking for a game that is simple but thrilling, this is the one. I would recommend it to anyone who loves Goosebumps.

I purchased this game and have fun it very fun but challenging. The graphics may not wow the heck out of you but it is addictive and fun. What you do is you are stranded at the famous Horrorland themepark and you play games(mini games) and you can trade for monster cards with other people wandering around the park and you can find coins in garbage cans, lamposts, and trees. You can use those to trade for cards or you can use them to play the mini games. There are games such as the Roller Ghoster, Mummy Run, Mini Golf, Test your stregth, and games you have to shoot vampires, ghosts, monsters, and bats. You can also go on rides like the coffin cruise and the roller ghoster. It has different levels you can unlock with frights which you win on how high your scores are in the mini games. Some games are creepy like the Flash Fright, Roller Ghoster, and the Scorpion one. They also have a bumper cars which you try to DESTROY your opponents. If you're looking to challenge your friends I don't beleive they have a multiplayer. This game is rated E10+ and I'd say ages 9 and up. It may scare little kids. I'd say all the goosebumps readers\DS Owners would love this game. 5 Stars!

My 10 year old says "This is the funnest DS game ever!" She has been playing it nonstop since she opened it.

Great for all ages. I purchased this game for my 7yr. old, there are plenty of carnival type events that are challenging on basically 3 levels rewarded as either bronze, silver, or gold medals called "Horrors". Points are based on such horrors, bronze being being the least to gold being the most point value. The more horror points you gather the more events you'll be able to play. There's alot to the game which keeps it interesting, it's not something you or your child will pass in a week then be done with and toss to side. Perfect for a lazy day or long car ride. I tried this game myself and liked it alot, I found the controls to be rather simple, and the graphics pretty good, the horrors or monsters in the game are actually pretty scary looking which is cool. Easy enough for young players and yet still challenging enough for the young at heart, I have to rate this as a five star overall, and would recommend this game to friends and family especially those with a child(ren) they want to keep occupied for any length of time.

My daughter started reading the Goosebumps chapter books the beginning of this school year. Horrorland was her favorite and I was thrilled to see it in a DS game for her. She plays it all the time (after homework is done of course). It's great for her to be able to tie the game to the books that she reads. It's just one more way to hold her interest in reading.

Our son got this as a christmas gift and he has enjoyed playing it. he really enjoys the goose bumps book so he was really excited when he saw that he got this game.

Bought this game for a 7 year old boy as a Christmas present. He really seems to enjoy it. He will play it for quite some time, them take a break and go right back to it.

My daughter had read the book in the Goosebump series and this was one of her favorite ones. When I discovered it in game form, I had to get it for her. She loves it. Very easy to play, but challenging enough to keep her engaged.

My son loves Goosebumps and has enjoyed playing this game. He is advancing through the game and likes to play it.
