Grabbed by the Ghoulies Xbox Retro Review - Backtrack

I really don't like being scared, so scary games are usually off my list of things to play. Silly spooky games however are right up my street! What happens when you enter the Ghoulhaven Mansion on a dark, stormy night? A lot of ridiculous stuff actually..

Looks like a fine fun quirky experience indeed. Definitely wasn't expecting Medusa to show up.🐍 Great video as always lass be careful out there especially while the veil be thin.🌌🎮👻🍀 (;

[@okgamergirl]

Oh I'll be hiding securely under my covers, don't you worry 😆

[@FriendsAndGamingYT]

This looks mighty fun! The visuals are a treat and really like the comic book cutscenes! But poor amber, kidnapped, saved then turned into a ghoul!

[@okgamergirl]

I think the graphics held up well, and the silly factor still goes down well too 😆

[@ChefJoy10]

I thought this game was a fever dream, thank you

[@okgamergirl]

Definitely real! 😆

[@dexocube]

The art style has aged really well.

[@okgamergirl]

It really has! I don't think that style will ever look old 😊

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

I didn't know I acted in this game! Ahhh, autolock. Games got so much better once they implemented that. That looks really cute, spooky fun!

[@okgamergirl]

I need to see your rendition of von Ghoul and his aeroplane impressions! Hat and goggles too 😆

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

I'll see what I have in my collection! @@okgamergirl

[@okgamergirl]

I eagerly await your performance!

[@Yesterzine]

To be fair to Rare it was new to them to have 2 sticks to play with.

[@okgamergirl]

True! So they assigned it to the weirdest thing they could think of 😆

[@SuperJim]

Played through this a few years back ala Rare Replay and I genuinely don't remember it at all... not sure if that is on the game or my failing memory 😅

[@okgamergirl]

Guess being grabbed by the ghoulies didn't have a lasting effect on you 😆

[@SuperJim]

@@okgamergirl would appear not! I mean it is fine for a game.. but yeah! Switch off brain dumb fun

[@MakopoweredGaming]

Oh my, do I remember the bad reviews this game got... I blame them for me passing on it. I can see how it would be considered repetitive, but it still looks interesting! Also, speaking as a North American, we DEFINITELY did not get the pun in the title.

[@okgamergirl]

Haha oh dear...so the rest of the world were giggling and NA didn't know why 😆 oh ya it's got some terrible reviews, which made sense at the time, but looking back, this was a fun game! I think 'fun' sometimes gets overlooked in reviews 🤔
