Game Informer Review

Wow, generic platform games have reached a new pinnacle of dull and cliché. It's not so much Scaler's fault as it is poor timing and the fact that eight bizillion games have come out with essentially the same features (multiple animal forms and sliding on rails/wires/vines, for example). This collect-a-thon featuring a "wise-cracking 12-year-old" offers some seriously dull lead characters, hyper-repetitive action, and a babysitting-required camera that makes the unoriginal platforming even more of a pain. Did I like this game? Oh my word, no. Do I see a future with the characters and universe? Not so much, which is the main reason that I can't give Scaler any bonus points for the nicely consistent art style that is its one highlight.

A Kid's Review

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: SCALER (Video Game)

This game stars you as a lizzard named Scaler. He is cute as can be. Great game for a little kid right. Wrong. This game has really bad graphics and the gameplay is way too confusing for a young kid. I'm 13 and even I don't get this game.

Parents don't get this game for your little ones it really stinks.

This game is perfect for the small gamer, 5 years plus. The graphics are outstanding, and the difficulty level is perfect for a younger gamer or an adult gamer needing an easy game, (like me!) The level bosses are fairly easy to beat, unlike many games. We would definitely recommend!

This was our first xbox game. Our four year old can play this just as well as his dad. It's a great game for the newcomer or kids. We've really enjoyed it and still do!
