Description
Grabbed by the Ghoulies is a humorous beat-'em-up action/adventure game that takes place in a haunted house full of dirty fightin' ghoulies. Gamers play the role of Cooper, a kid on a mission to rescue his girlfriend who has been grabbed by the ghoulies. Players venture through eerie Ghoulhaven Hall, battling it out with loads of creepy creatures while trying to escape the many tricks, traps, super scary shocks, and unexpected surprises along the way. More than 25 types of ghoulies will keep you on your toes, including vampires, zombies, mummies, skeletons, haunted furniture and the almighty grim reaper. Each ghoulie has its own crazed personality and style of attack, and they all fight dirty. Watch out, or you could be electrocuted, bitten, or mummified. More than 100 household objects are at your disposal to use as weapons. Bash ghoulies with chairs, pool cues, tables, pictures, and nearly anything else you can find in the house. For example, you can take on vampires with a garlic-firing blunderbuss, and douse Fire Imps with a fire extinguisher. Destruction, and there's lots of it, results in players being rewarded with 15 types of "power ups" including Power, Speed, Energy, and Super Weapon boosts. But try to avoid the Nasties (anti-power ups)! Damage stuff to uncover "bonus books," which open up a variety of cool bonus mini-games. Players can explore more than 50 rooms in giant Ghoulhaven Hall as they follow a twisted plot full of surprises, escapes, and rescues. There are tons of challenges to solve, and, not surprisingly, they conclude with players unleashing a bash-fest on the ghoulies.Featuring an easy pick-up-and-play style, Grabbed by the Ghoulies offers something for gamers of all ages and skill levels. Players will be instantly addicted to the simple gameplay, fun, and twisted satisfaction experienced when they bash ghoulies and bust stuff in the house.

Game Information
Game Genre: Action/Adventure
Strengths: Great for children, good controls, good graphics, fun
Weakness: Easy, might not appeal to everyone, Kiddy
Grabbed by the Ghoulies is an above average game. It is gauged towards children but it is still fun for adults. The game does well in all aspects. If you have a younger child this game would be perfect. If you don't like easy games, or games for children you should not buy this game.
Strengths: Great for young children.
Weakness: Too simple for adults to play.
My 5 year old absolutely loves this game. The controls are very easy for him to use. Provides hours of entertainment and laughter for him. This game is great for kids too young for teen games and too old for baby games.
Strengths: Graphics have a unique style, decent sound effects/music, and pretty solid title for the kids on a system that doesn't have many childrens games.
Weakness: Controls are a bit off, Graphics may be to childish for some, and too many timed stages.
Grabbed by the Ghoulies is an action/adventure game for XBOX. You play as a kid who just had his girl kidnapped from him. You have to go through this mansion to rescue her and do other things. There is no jump button in this game. All there is are a bunch of attacks using the right analog stick. Whichever direction you aim is where you hit. You can also pickup weapons or special items to attck...
Strengths: Decent voice acting and graphics, enjoyable premise
Weakness: Action could get repetitive for more experienced game players
Grabbed by the Ghoulies is developer Rare's first entry on Microsoft's Xbox game system. It is akin to an old school beat em up - you go through room to room fighting skeletons, zombies, and the like, using everything in the environment to your advantage. While the gameplay got stale for me, I will agree with the previous reviewer that my girlfriend got a real kick out of this game. She dosen't...
Strengths: Great graphics and presentation, odd humor
Weakness: Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition
Grabbed by the Ghoulies is odd because it can be both brilliant and mediocre. The presentation is top notch and is what we come to expect from Rare. As you venture forth into each new room, your dealing with different enemies in new ways. Like most Rare games though, it goes overboard on having you do the same thing, exposing you to repetitive gameplay that feels like filler designed to...
Strengths: Good humor
Weakness: Gets kind of old, fast
You need to have a strange sense of humor to enjoy this game. It is kind of funny...My girlfriend got a kick out of it and still plays it. However I got bored of it rather quickly. The controls and camera angles were kind of messed up, in a hard to explain way. It is a kind of challenging game though. Well worth it if it'll make your girlfriend happy. =)

Barring any unprecedented lawsuits or absurd allegations, it’s safe to assume that no one’s ever actually been “Grabbed” by the “Ghoulies”. But the girlfriend of this game’s protagonist would not agree as she has in fact been grabbed, bagged, and taken away into areas unknown by none other than ghoulish creeps. Rare’s first Microsoft-monikered outing, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, is...

When Microsoft and Rare announced that the developer had parted ways with Nintendo and joined up as an Xbox-exclusive house, there was some surprise. Its first game has arrived, and anyone who's been paying attention to the half-hearted buzz around it is probably prepared for the worst. The truth is, that's not what you'll get; in a lot of ways, Grabbed by the Ghoulies is an enjoyable, stylish...

When Microsoft first bought Rare, there was wild speculation as to what titles would make it over to the Xbox, and in what form. Of course, Banjo, Conker, and Joanna are all sure to make their way at some point in time, but which game would come first? The once-Gamecube title Kameo? A new Battletoads game? Well, neither, actually. The first Xbox game to be delivered from the hands of the...

Grabbed By The Ghoulies
Strengths: Interesting and goofy enemies, easy controls
Weakness: Very repetitive
Grabbed By The Ghoulies puts you in the role of Cooper, a teenage boy that has to save his girlfriend from a haunted mansion. The game has an interesting setup where each room that you go in has a specific goal that must be met in order to move on to the next room. These goals start off rather simple with you just beating up all the enemies in the room. The rest of the game is really just a...
