Shrek The Third

Shrek The Third Description

The big Scottish green guy's back, and someone wants to make the poor blighter king. Even more unfortunate than the promise of looming monarchy, however, is the fact that Prince Charming has taken it upon himself to invade the kingdom of Far Far Away with an army of villains at his back. Let the next twisted fairy tale in the Shrek series commence! Shrek the Third takes the form of an action brawler, setting Shrek and his ragtag bag of buddies on the road to saving the kingdom. Fans have a range of characters to choose from, including the green ogre himself, Donkey, Puss-in-Boots, Fiona, Fiona's rebellious cousin Arthur Pendragon and her fellow fairytale belle, Sleeping Beauty. Players will need to rescue pals, tackle Charming's less than charming henchmen, gather fairytale collectibles and get into boss skirmishes. Each character has his or her own special moves to get to grips with, including Shrek's Ogre Power, Fiona's Flying Kick, Puss N' Boots somewhat non-threatening sounding Cute Puss, Sleeping Beauty's even more non-threatening sounding Swoon attack, and Artie's Power of Excalibur. Also thrown in for good measure are six multiplayer mini games, dubbed Castle Attack, Shrekleboard, Frog Herder, Shooting Gallery, Catacombs Leap and Ships Ahoy.

Gamers interact with characters from the film as well as new characters exclusive to the game in order to take advantage of their unique moves, special abilities and combat skills.

Players travel through the epic Shrek universe in 20 peril-filled movie-based and game exclusive levels such as Academy Grounds, Evil Queen's Castle (game exclusive), Pirate Ship and more.

Epic boss battles draw fans further into the Shrek universe as they defend the kingdom of Far, Far Away against Prince Charming and his bumbling band of down and out fairytale friends.

As gameplay progresses, players learn to use each character?s unique moves for the challenge at hand.

Players learn to utilize each character?s special abilities and combat skills including 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' that must be used successfully to get back to Far, Far Away.

Unique levels with numerous puzzles and platform challenges including three Princess levels (players play as Fiona and Sleeping Beauty) challenge gamers to work their way out of difficult situations.

Gamers can engage in six multiplayer mini-games including Castle Attack, Shrekleboard, Frog Herder, Shooting Gallery, Catacombs Leap and Ships Ahoy.
