Since the first Scooby-Doo video game was released in 1986, Mystery Inc. has seen its fair share of releases, including three in the previous console generation. I fear that it may devalue my credibility of being a fan of the series, but I must admit that I have never played, seen, or heard about any of them, until earlier this week where I was shown a preview of the next Scooby-Doo game “Scooby-Doo First Frights” for the Wii and Playstation 2 (there’s also a DS version, but it wasn’t shown).
During this demo it was brought to my attention that that this game continued in the tradition of the last few releases, as well as the original cartoon, by including something that very few video games have, a laugh track; the prerecorded laughter of a studio audience.
