I rented this game first to see if I would like it. Becouse I have found that most video games that are movie related don't measure up well. In this case I am very wrong! Once I started playing, it was not long before I was hooked on the challenge of the game and the very interesting puzzles you solve to complete your task in each room. It gets harder and more challenging as you progress. You will not be disapointed with this purchase.

Really fun but short

i would have easly given it a 5 star if it was longer. i beat the game in only 5 hours of game play. other than that its a lot of fun. if you have been on the ride youll notice that theres a lot from it in the game which i thought was pretty cool and interesting. for a really fun game for like $5 you should get this one

I thought this review section was a place where people could review a game that they have played, not critique the grammer of other reviewers or insult their place of origin.
It might be a "New Jersey thing", but then again I would NOT even remotely go bragging about being from New Jersey if I was so unfortunate as to have to reside there.
Just a thought.

it sound good

maybe it's New Jersey thing but I think maybe one particular Georgian needs to spend less time playing video games and more time learning to be literate.

Really Surprised!!!

Wow! After a long string of lackluster licensed games, I was really impressed with Haunted Mansion!

To start off, it doesn't seem to be based on the movie (at least from what I've read). Most of the areas of the game feel like they came straight from the ride (I do happen to be a huge fan). I rented it at first not expecting it to be very good, but I will definately buy a copy after playing it. The game is to pick up and play, but offers lots of challenge. Each section of the game that I have played so far is comepletely different and is really entertaining most of the time.

This is hard but fun!

It becomes a chore after a while

At first, it's fun finding ways to get to that light switch and light up a room and yadda yadda, yadda. Sure, when it's fun, creative puzzles that take a few moments. However, after a while it just ranks up there with doing your math homework and eating your broccoli. A heinous chore. Some of the puzzles in Haunted Mansion were just frusterating, and not in the fun way. More like a half hour ordeal when your not fighting any monsters, just figuring out which way to point some frigging mirrors.

In the end, if you have a Game Cube or have a friend who does, rent Luigis Mansion. Same principal, but a lot more fun. The ghosts are tougher to catch, but you don't have to deal with those ridiculous little puzzles. Otherwise, leave the Ghost Busting to Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd.

Like Playing The Ride

I played/finished the game. It's a lot of fun, and captured the creepy feel of the Disney ride very well. You'll recognize various rooms and props from the ride (the stretching room, the dining room; the floating candleabra, the grandfather clock with the crooked pendulum). Of course, to fill out the game, there are several areas that weren't in the ride, such as the children's room and the attic. Many of the puzzles or puzzle-like situations are very well done and quite original. Some of my favorites were two different parts where you are temporarily shrunk, and find yourself having to get through a maze of children's blocks while balancing on a marble (much like "marble madness"), and the other where you are on the pool table (discussed in other reviews, so I won't recount it here); also, a seemingly tiny room has walls that move as you approach them, so you can only see about 10 square feet of the otherwise huge room at any one time. As with the Disney ride, there is also a little humor weaved in, and the overall product was a lot of fun.

Good for Haunted Mansion fans

I bought this game a while ago after returning from Tokyo Disney. I'm a fan of the Haunted Mansion ride. This game captures more of the feel than the movie did and provides good entertainment value. The puzzles are well though out and graphics work well. Overall a good buy for children and adults alike.
