GRAPHICS (7/10)
The graphics of GBTG are good because they are kind a cartoonish and spooky looking and had that Rare Ware vibe to the models,and even Ghoul Haven hall the mansion of the main game shows how much the time the Rare Ware team put into to designing the models which makes it even better and gives it a huge atmosphere of being spooky and dark,and even the monster designs were clever.
SOUND (10/10)
The music of GBTG is very good, it has that distinct Rare Ware style of music, composed by Grant Kirkhope,but the voice acting is just mumbles, similar to the speech in Banjo
ADDICTIVENESS (9/10)
The gameplay is where you play as a kid going through a haunted mansion beating up demons and monsters,saving children,and doing task,I thought the game was pretty linear,because all you do is go from room to room fighting monsters,but they added a twist that kept me hooked, every time you try to leave the room you must complete a challenge,
and I thought the weapon system was cool,you basically used what every you could find in the room you were in.
DEPTH (10/10)
The game can be beaten in 6 hours,but in each room there is a bonus book,if you get all 100 after you beat the story, you will unlock a challenge to replay the story as fast as you can,with a certain amount of Hp, which I think is a great after game thing.
STORY (9/10)
I think the story is good, its basically like no other,because its about a coward boy who must face his fears to save his girl friend from a evil airplane pilot,the cutscenes of the story take place in a comic book style format which makes the Story even cooler
DIFFICULTY (8/10)
The Difficultly changes through out the game each room has a different challenge which gets more difficult every challenge, and sometimes the enemies can take pretty long to kill.
Closing thoughts.
I realy liked this game it was very different from the other games rare ware made,but this game did not sell very well in 2001 because of the fact it was on Xbox, and I could see why, luckily if you have never played GBTG it is available on Xbox Live
