Product Description
Platform: Nintendo Wii | Edition: Standard
Over thirty years have passed since your grandfather disappeared without a trace while searching for the magical Urn, a mystery that has hung over the heads of you and your bewildered family for decades. That is, until a mysterious letter arrives that claims to have insight into your grandfather's whereabouts... the return address... the town of Spirit Bay. Now you find yourself following in the footsteps of your grandfather and all that have come before... you have entered the Haunted House, and for better or for worse, embark on a great adventure. The question remains, however, as the shadows draw near... are you afraid of the dark?

Got the new Haunted House game a few days ago and the family breezed through it. The graphics are ok, and yes the one liners are repetative but its a wii game so I wasn't looking for some elaborate story. Besides, the journal entries you collect tell the story as you go. Its a fun enough game that is incredibly simple to pick up and play.
I have to say though that I was really hoping this would be a bit more complex than it is, something that I could play with kids or my wife and still be challenged. Even when playing it on difficult the only difference seemed to be that there are less save points, which isn't a big deal since you have essentially have unlimited lives. It is a good memory game though, trying to remember where you've been in the house and where you might still need to go. Overall I would recommend it for younger kids (5-13), because it is not really scary and fairly simple to navigate (when you fight "boss" levels they spell out very clearly what you need to do to beat them, and the only "puzzles" involve shining colored lights), but say pass for older kids (14+) because it really won't keep their attention for longer than a week. I guess it just depends on what you are looking for.

Overall a fun game with some challenging levels. A complete upgrade from the 1980's version. The graphics are good the sound effects are funny. I am glad to see that Atari decided to release this game. What could be better than a Haunted House? Great for kids and adults and a very fair price.

I played and loved the original Haunted House on the Atari 2600 about 30 years ago, this updated remake exceeded my expectations. It retains the unique flavor of the original and adds modern graphics, gameplay, effects and doesn't take itself too seriously. The creators of this game have done an outstanding job of appealing to both old fans and newcomers alike. This is a great family game, fun and not too scary, my kids had a blast playing along with me. For $19.99, this game is a no-brainer, you can't go wrong. Enjoy.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!
The game is a waste of time and money!! The game is played in the dark. With little matches that light the way for two seconds. Game is boring and dull. Read more

Not as good as expected
I thought this would be a high tech version of the Atari game. I personally found it very confusing and not as fun as I was expecting.
