Casper and the Ghostly Trio (video game)

Casper and the Ghostly Trio is a 2006 platform game developed by Data Design Interactive and published by Blast! Entertainment. 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.

Plot
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—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 six levels and five bonus levels. Compared to previous games, this game does not have him flying, but Casper can instead perform a short-length glide to traverse over wide gaps.

Reception
The game saw a rare, limited release in European and Australian regions, 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 made.
