Hotel Transylvania DS/3DS Game Review

My son & I loved the movie Hotel Transylvania. We've seen it 3 times already. Now he gets to enjoy it even more with the release of the Nintendo DS/3DS game.

Game Description:
Count Dracula’s five-stake resort welcomes you! Hotel Transylvania, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters that they are with no humans around to bother them. Dracula’s beloved daughter Mavis is turning 118 and Dracula has invited a few of his closest friends: Frankenstein and his wife, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, and the Werewolf family to Hotel Transylvania to celebrate her special day. Catering to these monsters is a delight for Dracula, but everything could change for the overprotective father when one ordinary guy stumbles through the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.

Andre enjoyed playing the game. He got a little frustrated with it in the beginning since it was new to him. After a few tries, he got the hang of it. I even played & caught myself getting upset that I couldn't beat those zombie bell boys!

Hotel Transylvania is available now for Nintendo DS & 3DS. It retails for $29.99. It is rated E 10+. 

It will make a great gift for this holiday season.

Check In with Hotel Transylvania

This past Saturday I was invited to a special screening of Hotel Transylvania. Andre & I have been eagerly awaiting the release of the movie. The trailers look hysterical!
Hotel Transylvania is a getaway for monsters and a safe haven built by Dracula for his daughter Mavis. Humans are not allowed! He hosts a yearly birthday bash for his daughter Mavis. This year is no exception as she turns 118, which in human years would be equivalent to the big 18th. Dracula's best friends, Mr. & Mrs. Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, the Werewolf family are preparing for the celebration, as a young human comes across the hotel. Throughout the movie, Dracula tries to keep "JohnnyStein" away from the monsters especially his daughter.

Dracula's over bearing nature reminds me of how much I want to protect my own son from the outside world. As much as we try, there is that day when they will want to leave the nest and discover it all. We can only try to prevent it from happening but c'mon who are we kidding? Its all part of life.
Hotel Transylvania is fun for the whole family. We laughed & even danced in our seats. As my son said, he loved the music the most! It did feel like a club with the electro beats and great songs. All the celebrity characters who lent their voices were amazing. We even met a few at the screening!

 Hotel Transylvania hits theaters this Friday September 28,2012.
