MH Video Games

I know the New Ghoul @ School game has probably been out for some time but I only saw it recently and saw some reviews on amazon and most people bought it for their daughter and their daughter loves it.  However, being an adult collector I don't want to play something super easy and super boring.  Has anyone here played it and if so what did you think?

Thanks in advance for answers.

Well it is pretty easy. It's a lot of fetch quests. I haven't gotten too far in it though.
It might be fun if you like bugging official characters and customizing your own monster.

Thanks for responding.  Can you explore the school too?

Yes. It kinda reminds me of those old HP games? There's a lot of hallways then like, pool, biteology, the gym, library, kitchen stuff like that.

It is an easy game, lots of little quests and running around collecting things. If you are looking for a relaxing game to play, this is it 

You get to customize your own monster, meet canon characters, go on quests, and collect things. You do get to explore the school a bit, with some quests and collections taking you to secret passages and attic spaces. There are also a couple of  puzzles to solve! Its a nice mix of genres on an easier level.  At the end of the day, you get to go home to your room, which I thought was pretty cute.

We play it on the Xbox 360, and have run into 2 glitches. Pretty much every game has one or two, not a big deal, but we did have to restart the Xbox and pick up from our last auto-save.

Its a nice departure from the more high-intensity grown up games my husband and I play together. If you like a happy little game to chill with, this will fit the bill.

really easy game but it's fun to explore the school. And the customization is cool.

I have like 500 steam games, how did I not know this? 

OK, it's added to my wishlist.

For people looking for more of challenge, I found it a bit harder to play as a ghost - since their feet don't touch the ground, it's harder to tell where you standing when you need to jump.

Does anyone own any of the MH video games? I was wondering if they are any good and worth playing. I don't know if they would be super easy like the My Little Pony Runaway Rainbow game I bought

I played the "New Ghoul at School" game on Steam. It's quite easy but its kinda fun.

I bought this game from a third party seller on amazon.  The game is brand new, sealed and everything.  I haven't seen this game in PS3 version since it first game out so I decided to order from amazon.  The game loads and goes through it's advertisement of showing the characters and what not then it says "press start" and I press start and nothing happens.

I bought Lego Batman and have been playing that and the start button works fine and I also bought a box set of a TV series and again the start button works fine.  I restarted my system and even reset the controller, and nothing.

I did get a PS3 controller decal of Nightmare Before Christmas but it hasn't affected anything with the start button because I've had it on there since late last week and again when I played my other new game and everything has worked fine.

I'm frustrated because I was looking forward to playing this game for a while and it's not working.

OK so for an update I contacted Little Orbit, the company who made the game and they told me that it might not be working because I might need a newer model of the PS3 controller.  The original is sixaxis and they said I might need a DualShock 3.  Other people have had this issue and they said once they got a different controller the game worked.  Easy to fix I guess.

On the brightside the person who sold me the game on amazon got back to me and refunded my amazon gift card order amount and told me I can keep the game so maybe I'll use the money to get a DualShock 3 controller so I can play my game.
