Product Description

From Parents' Choice®
As the title suggests, Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt offers a series of scavenger hunt adventures in which players help the Rugrats characters locate specific items and piece them together to solve puzzles. Based on the popular animated television series, Scavenger Hunt offers three distinct game play experiences in one. The added bonus of a random element makes the game different each time it's played. This game is non-violent and suitable for ages 6-12. (Jason R. Rich, Parents' Choice®).

2.0 out of 5 stars Odd graphics, slow gameplay, little replay value, November 16, 1999

By A Customer

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

If you have a 3-10 year old that struggles with the faster morechallenging games on the n64, this may satisfy. Otherwise avoid. Theplayers (characters from the TV show) are rendered in low res 3d graphics that are annoying to look at and dimly colored compared to the cartoon. The 4 different 'hunts' play like a board game with the computer taking the palce of a missing player. Spinning for turns and waiting for the computer to move is agonizingly slow.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, November 27, 1999

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This game is the most not fun game that n64 has ever put out. I am not kidding you have wasted your money if you buy this game or even rent it for a dollar. The game lacks any reward for beating it's levels and is not fun. The graphics are not good and the gameplay is horrible. Sure this may be good for a few little kiddies who just want to see their favorite nicktoons in a video game but, if you are looking for a fun and exciting game, this is not it.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a mess..., November 3, 2001

By	"fjdmpd" (West River, MD USA) - See all my reviews

I was looking foward to this, mainly because I like the Rugrats show. At the time this game was released (about June 1999) the Rugrats TV show had pretty much become a show for kids only with nothing redeeming for older audiences. With that in mind, the Rugrats license didn't need a game like this. This game tries to cash in on the success of Mario Party, but it fails to do that. Why? This is just a normal board game, which is all fine and dandy, but there's absolutely nothing to make you want to play this again. It has no mini-games like Mario Party. It has only one, count it, one play mode, and because of that, the replay value is really low. Even the four-player mode can't reedem it. But that's not all. The graphics are so bad for N64. I've seen PS1 games that look better then this, and those games came out years before this one! Why THQ didn't support the Expansion Pak is beyond me. I think it would have helped. The biggest problem (that I also stated above) is that the game is literaly over before it begins, and being priced at almost any dollar amount, this game is a rip-off. It may have been worth it if it was priced at a low dollar amount, but I wouldn't bet on it. There is some good though: The sounds and voices are nice, the controls are very simple, and the Rumble Pak feature is nice. But since it's so short and boring, it destroys all the fun. I know THQ was trying to aim this at young kids who aren't good at video games, but they failed even on that level. Games like Tigger's Honey Hunt (also on N64), are made for young kids in mind, but are also enjoyable for older audiences (and games like that usually have more replay value). Even for its target audience, there is no fun to be had here. Skip this and let your kids try Tigger's Honey Hunt instead. But if you really need a Rugrats game, get Search For Reptar on PS1. It's the best Rugrats game out there (though that's not saying much) and it has much more replay value then this.
