    The only people we can imagine buying this are confused parents who do not understand the world of the mystical home entertainment that is the videogame.

    This game doesnt know what it wants to be. Ratch and clank? Jak and Daxter? Crash Bandicoot? Spyro? This is clearly a platformer that came outThis game doesnt know what it wants to be. Ratch and clank? Jak and Daxter? Crash Bandicoot? Spyro? This is clearly a platformer that came out too late to succeed. With many elements featured in other games this is probably something youve already played hundreds of times over. But, that doesnt make it bad. By the time this was out we already had, Jak and daxter and Ratchet and Clank, 2 far superior games that were big in scale and received more ettention as a result.
    Scaler suffored from being the last born, the black sheep, the last sip of juice at the bottom of the glass that you dont bother to consume.
    This games nothing new, but it sure is better than it seems. Probably one of the most hidden of gems ive come across.
