    What it lacks in innovation it more than makes up in style, humor and solid game mechanics. Controls feel smooth and responsive and the action is always brisk. The inclusion of evolutionary transformations is an especially nice touch.

    To be fair, the game is aimed at kids and it's by no means poor – the fact that it's available for less than twenty quid doesn't exactly hurt either.

    Although much of the action is standard platformer fare, sliding on vines is zany fun. [Feb 2005, p.113]

    It's a fun entertaining game that sometimes if you just feel like crawling like a lizard or something this is the game to play, what else can I say? Now if you'll excuse I'm going to go play some Scaler.… Expand

    I don't care what Game Informer said. They can't tell good games when they see them. I think a game starring lizards is great!

    Do we need another platform game starring dragon with bright childlike graphics? NO.
