No, it doesn't suck 1
In the gaming community, there are certain games that can earn you a level of respect depending on whether you've played them. Case in of (I very much like your taste), Beyond Good and Evil (when can we get together), ICO (take me now, take me hard). Grabbed by the Ghoulies is not one of those games.

The game was released in 2003 on the Xbox and is a quirky, charming, and creepy 3D Beat Em Up that has interesting level design and controls.

I played the version found on the Rare Replay for the Xbox One.Grabbed by the Ghoulies stars Coop...
