Sometimes I got stuck because I wasn’t able to find one hidden object and I restored to spam clicking the entire screen. Now, I might be spoiled by playing a ton of casual games/hidden object games but a hint button would have been an amazing addition. In the middle of the game, you need to look for pieces of paper and those are hidden inside parts of the puzzle. Now, I totally understand the reason for that decision. This makes it quite annoying when you are looking for that final piece of the puzzle to beat the game.
Something that I could also critique in the original and that’s still present here is the fact that you can still access the puzzles you have completed. Then again, this is only a minor problem since you were able to get quickly up and downstairs. Once or twice I wanted to go to a room and I forgot if it was downstairs or upstairs. While the explore able mansion isn’t that large, I think it would be great if a map feature would have been implemented. While some areas are the same compared to the original like the dining room and the kitchen, there are a few new rooms like underneath the bed and a board game in the living room. While exploring through the mansion, the scenes where you can play an I Spy riddle play a small animation. The hidden object scenes are quite easy to spot. In this game, you go through a, sadly inescapable, cut scene. In the original, you had to click on a door and you immediately moved through it. This minor change compared to the original makes the mansion feel more alive. You can walk around by pointing and using the A button to go into a moving transition. While it would have been amazing to freely walk around in the mansion, sadly enough, that’s not the case in this game. One minor thing that annoyed me was the fact that I couldn’t skip the tutorial speak and that the tutorial box stayed a bit too long on screen in my opinion. While you can’t really lose these minigames, they are a nice distraction from the hidden object quest. I quite like this style and it allowed the developers to put more details in the scene and hide the objects in more creative ways.Īpart from that, there are some gimmick Wii minigames where you have to make a certain motion with the Wii remote to win the minigame and find the hidden object. In the original, you have a 2D picture to “stare” at, to find all the objects. The big difference with the original is the fact that most of the scenes are in 3D or are bigger than the screen itself. With easy to understand controls, you have to find these objects in the scene. You still get an I Spy riddle where you have to find a handful of objects inside a certain area. The gameplay is mostly unchanged in this port of the game. Well, I also have to compare a dubbed version of the game with the original English voice work now, so take that how you want. I personally enjoy the voice acting in this game more than the original. There are a lot of obvious “spooks” in the game, like when you are upstairs, you hear somebody going up the stairs. Not to mention, the voice acting for Skelly is amazing. Compared to the original, this game feels more alive. The sound design of this game is amazing. I won’t spoil it, but I enjoy the original and the new endings to the game. But, the method of escaping is different in this version of the game.
You are still trapped in the spooky mansion together with Skelly and you have to escape. The story of this game isn’t 100% the same. But, now I kindly invite you to leave a comment in the comment section down below with your opinion on the game and/or the content of this article.

Maybe in a future article, I’ll talk about my thoughts and opinions on the PC version of the game. Now, I played this Wii port and this article will talk about my opinions on the game. I say North America, but it’s quite possible that this game also got released in the EU, but I haven’t seen a copy in the stores. This game did get a port in 2010 and got released to the Wii in North America. I thought there was no way for a game from 1999 to get a port to the Wii in 2010. I honestly thought that somebody mislabeled this game. Now, when I was browsing eBay for cheap old Wii games, I found this game. A few years ago, I was able to snag my own copy during a garage sale. I have fond memories of playing this game on my aunt’s computer when I went over to her place. One of these games is “I Spy Spooky Mansion”. Sometimes you don’t expect a game to get a remake.
