This map is really cute. It brings back warm and fuzzy memories of watching the show on Cartoon Network and later on Boomerang. I can't vouch much for the gameplay because I haven't / don't really play(ed) HLDM much anymore so I just loaded it up on my own MP server, but visually the map looks quite good. Some textures vary in quality though, like the Mystery Machine itself looks rather odd. Some textures look as if they may have been ripped directly from the show itself without much effort to clean them up, and others look really good. I have to admit, I was rather disappointed that the Scooby model wasn't brush based, otherwise it would've been much more impressive. The model doesn't really look that great as a model; smoothing looks messed up. My biggest complaint though comes from the villains. This map needs more of them! The Spooky Space Kook is great but I would've loved to see the Green Ghost and the Tar Monster, or any other classic monsters as well. Oh, one more thing, what's up with the Spooky Space Kooks being the teleporters? I feel like you could've used something else as a teleporter rather than images of him. Other than all that and my wall of words, this map is great, I love it!~
With the age of TFC/Half-Life, it's so pleasant to see an amazing fresh map out there like this one. The FPS were spot on and the "rats" player level felt very comfortable. The custom textures were very nicely applied in the map as well as other custom sprites.
Absolutely great. Really looking forward to playing this with more people. Particularly love all the animated bits - owl out the window, the door slats, etc. Lovely, lovely work.
This was lovely. Played it with 2 other people only, but pretty sure it would've been brilliant with more. Lots, lots of gimmicks. The usage of trigger_gravity is fun as heck.
Bad news! It's turned into a bit of a server-emptier. I think 98% of the problem is including the crossbow. In a map so open it just turns into crossbow sniping and no action

And no stars cuz I suck at rating.
