Everybody’s favorite ogre, Shrek, is now back across multiple gaming platforms thanks to the efforts of Activision Publishing, Inc. who recently announced Shrek’s Carnival Craze. This is a new addition to the uber movie franchise that will see Shrek wreak havoc across the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PS2 and PC platforms. Hmmm, guess he won’t be making an appearance in high definition graphics, eh? I suppose that bodes well for the target demographic anyways who are more kiddy at heart instead of gamers who prefer a slightly more mature slant to things.

Shrek’s Carnival Craze combines the twisted fairytale humor of Shrek with the fun of the carnival midway in 28 action-packed party games. Featuring cast favorites from all three movies, including Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss In Boots, Prince Charming and Gingy, players will compete to become King or Queen of the carnival in games like Pinocchio’s Ring Toss, Frog Fling, Rapunzel’s Hair Climb, Milking Mayhem, Candy Keep Away and more. Fans will feel like they are stepping inside Shrek’s world as the game takes them into a variety of unique locations that are inspired by the films. Players will be able to compete in Gingyland, 3 Blind Mice Midway, Fiona’s Funhouse, The Poison Apple, Pinocchio Park, and an unlockable area, Shrek’s Swamp.

Sounds as though this is Mario Party in a totally different skin. Guess you will have plenty of multiplayer fun with this, so expect to pay average prices for individual platforms in which Shrek’s Carnival Craze makes an appearance on.
