Casper and the Ghostly Trio (PlayStation 2)

Casper and The Ghostly Trio is a basic, low-quality platformer developed by the second masters of shovelware, Data Design Interactive. It reuses a lot of assets from Ninjabread Man, which, to be honest, is exactly what you would expect for any game developed by them.

If you wanna play a Casper game on the PS2 that is actually good, go play Casper: Spirit Dimensions instead.
