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 only saw a release on the PlayStation 2 in the PAL region where it was unanimously panned by critics despite a low-key release.[3]

Plot

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

Gameplay

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

Reception

The game saw a rare, limited release only in Europe and Australia,[7] where it met with unanimously negative reception. Criticism stemmed from its controls, graphics, and "unfinished" state, with many critics wondering why it was made.[8]
