Video Game Reviews of R.L. Stine Goosebumps: Escape From Horrorland
Customer Review: A Truly SPOOK-tacular Game/"Interactive Movie"
Summary: 5 Stars
For those interested in the game's storyline history: this Dreamworks production directly sequels the continuity set down by the first Horrorland book written by R.L. Stine ("One Day At Horrorland") ONLY. It is not connected to the low-budget (but wonderful) Goosebumps TV episode, and it thankfully ignores the sub-par Goosebumps 2000 "Return To Horrorland" book (which included all the stupidity that making such a decision of your own free will would imply). Obviously, it is also not connected to the ongoing Horrorland book series or its websites currently being produced, though I have yet to read any of these. I can definitively say, however, that what we have here is distinct from all other lines of Goosebumps because, instead of the raw, regressive "horror" that the books and TV episodes went for, this video game takes the plot into an "action thriller" direction (which I like, as it allows the characters to use common sense, learn, and take some control).
Getting to the "Escape From Horrorland" VG itself, I'd like to say this is one of my favorites of all time. To be fair, though, it might be better to call this an "interactive movie" instead of a "video game", since you can go around with some freedom playing the games and checking out the scary sights. There is a main story being played out for you movie-style to eventually draw you back, but it's one that you still participate in using your mouse cursor (which has been appropriately turned into a floating, creepy, disembodied hand).
There's not much else I can say about the video game for "The Nightmare-iest Place On Earth" that the other reviewers haven't covered in terrific detail. But one piece of advice in case you decide to get this game: I didn't find the Horrorland sewer network entertaining at all. It's not necessary to the main game, the monster running around down there is almost impossible to dodge, and since it would interrupt the story to let you jump ahead to whatever part of the park you want, all you can get out of it are a few Horrorland tokens that you don't really need.
