Casper and the Ghostly Trio is a 2006 platform game developed by Data Design Interactive and published by Blast! Entertainment.[2] It is based on the Casper the Friendly Ghost character by Harvey Comics. The game was released for the PlayStation 2 exclusively in the PAL region, where it was unanimously panned by critics despite a low-key release.[3]

Plot

[edit]

The game finds Casper following the calamitous trail of his mischievous uncles the Ghostly Trio, who have kidnapped Wendy the Good Little Witch to use her magic for evil — each of whom only appear in the final level.

Gameplay

[edit]

Casper and the Ghostly Trio is an action-adventure platform game that has the player exploring 3-D environments, defeating monsters and collecting keys to progress. The game contains six levels and five bonus levels.[4] Unlike to previous Casper video games, the game does not have Casper flying; he can instead perform a short-length glide to traverse over wide gaps.[5][6]

Reception

[edit]

The game saw a rare, limited release in European and Australian regions,[7] where it met with unanimously negative reception by critics. Its graphics, controls, and "unfinished" state were all sources of condemnation, leaving many to wonder why it was even made.[8]
