The last time we heard from our favorite ogre was last year. As the third movie nears release in May so does the game's release. Today we have new info on the multi platform title - Shrek the Third from Activision.
In this newest Shrek title, players would be able to play as Shrek, Donkey, Puss-in-Boots, Fiona, Arthur (Fiona's rebellious cousin), and Sleeping Beauty. The game will take players on another adventure to Far Far Away, visiting movie locations plus some exclusive game content. In the game, Prince Charming attacks the city with his merry band of fairy tale villains. Challenges include fighting Charming's evil henchmen, gathering collectibles, numerous boss fights, and single player and multiplayer mini games.
Shrek the Third also features 20 movie-based and game exclusive levels like the Academy Grounds, Pirate Ship, and Evil Queen's Castle (exclusive). And what would a Shrek game be without the signature twisted humor? Each character has a special ability: Shrek’s Ogre Power, Fiona’s Flying Kick, Puss N’ Boots Cute Puss, Sleeping Beauty’s sleeping Swoon attack, and Artie’s Power of Excalibur.
The game also includes puzzle and platform challenges (including three Princess challenges with Fiona and Sleeping Beauty). Six multiplayer minigames also include Castle Attack, Shrekleboard, Frog Herder, Shooting Gallery, Catacombs Leap, and Ships Ahoy.
Shrek the Third's release would coincide with the movie - May 2007. It has a rating of E10+ and would retail at US$ 49.99 (Xbox 360, Wii), US$ 39.99 (PS2, PSP), US$ 29.99 (GBA, NDS), and US$ 19.99 (PC). Here are some screens for the Wii, PSP, and DS versions.
