Considering there are only thirty mini-games total in the game, it is truly sad to see so many repeats. Expect to play miniature golf at least a couple times as well driving bumper cars, spinning and hurling objects, cart rides that involve shooting, swinging wildly to hit incoming creatures, and this list keeps going. However, I have a hard time saying new because many of the mini-games in HorrorLand are either complete copies or just slight variations of former events. Most of the mini-games in HorrorLand, as well as all the additional areas which contain new mini-games, will require a certain number of frights to unlock. Depending on how well you do in each mini-game, you can win a bronze, silver, or gold skull, which will provide you with one, two, or three frights respectively. Upon wandering around a bit, you will eventually realize the only thing you can do is participate in various mini-games in an attempt to win frights. Starting off in the Carnival of Screams, players are given twenty tokens and very little direction. This is the loose story and overall objective for the game that attempts to disguise what is otherwise just a compilation of mostly-broken mini-games. You eventually find out the only way to escape HorrorLand is to find all the pieces of your shredded ticket and reassemble them. Upon entering the park, another horror takes your ticket and tears it to pieces, effectively trapping you in the park forever. Despite the fact that the words HorrorLand, where nightmares come to life appear directly on the ticket, you and your overeager friend somehow still think it would be a great idea to check it out. Once this incredibly difficult decision has been made, a horror (a green-colored demon) drops a ticket on your doorstep and runs away. HorrorLand starts off by having you choose a character, with your only two options being either a boy or a girl. Unfortunately, the outcome is pretty horrific, and not in a good way. This time around, its setting its sights on home consoles.
