    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. Mention it in jest and you'll be treated to witty digs on how Rare started sucking ever since they released Taboo, or how GoldenEye was only good because Nintendo said to put in a multiplayer...

    Mini Review: So many rooms so little time... 0

    This entire game is just a set of challenges you must overcome to compete it. Before I go into that I want to explain how combat works.

    Fun Yet Frustrating 3D Beat Em Up 0

    Grabbed By The Ghoulies developed by Rare and Published by Microsoft is the first Rare developed game to come out after their acquisition by Microsoft. 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. Despite being interesting and charming the game falls short in a lot of areas especially with the gameplay. I played the version found on the Rare Replay for the Xbox One.Grabbed by the Ghoulies stars Coop...
