As Drac narrates everything that’s happening in time, you learn, very quickly, the idea is to move onto the next part of the level, get told how this affects the story, and then try to get to the next part. Hotel Transylvania: Scary-Tale Adventures is a 3D collect-a-thon adventure platformer where the whole idea is just to get from point A to point B. Drac proceeds to tell three tales – Aladdin, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Emperor’s New Clothes – swapping out himself and Mavis as the main stars, and dropping in the constant sidekicks as both NPCs and collectable plot points.

As he is a monster and everything must be monster related, the fairy tales are modified to fit the whole motif of it being a little creepy and slimy, but still family friendly. With Mavis and Johnny out, and the werewolf parents indisposed, Drac is left to babysit Winnie and Dennis, and he decides that classic fairy tales are the best way to keep them entertained.
CREEPY TALE 2 REVIEW MOVIE
However, instead of deciding to use the movie plot for a game frame (as they did with Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard ), this time we’ve deviated wildly in order to create something with more longevity and also more potential. We just had a brand new Hotel Transylvania movie, where most people didn’t realize that Adam Sandler didn’t voice the main character anymore for reasons that probably begin and end with “Netflix contract.” People everywhere were reminded of this surprisingly entertaining series, and kids, naturally, will gravitate towards new merchandise that reminds them as such. With Hotel Transylvania: Scary-Tale Adventures, this is a pretty easy layup for the company and the controlling parent, Sony Pictures and Amazon. From racer to platformer to turn-based strategy, nothing is out of reach as long as the characters attached will ensure sales in some form. Third, and I can’t stress this enough, your experience is going to vary wildly due to the buckshot approach of Outright Games’ design style. Two, the games are always IP connected, which is why Paw Patrol, Transformers and a child YouTube star all have games under this umbrella. These are games to attract and entrance the same people who are hooked on Nickelodeon shows for hours at a time, if allowed. One, their primary audience is going to be children, and you need to set your expectations as such. Every time Outright Games brings something new to the table, you have to keep a few factors in mind.
