Shrek is all set to take the kid’s world by storm, yet again. As usual, a barrage of games descends on children following the stupendous success of the movie. Shrek games, as we have seen, have dominated the world of games for years, with over fifteen games on a multitude of platforms.
Activision continues to satisfy hungry consumers by cranking out the hugely popular game. Kart racing and Shrek, a combination that is sure to set our blood roaring is on the way. Fun, thrill and entertainment all the way is what is Shrek Smash n’ Crash Racing is all about.
A fat ogre Shrek, his pet friend donkey Eddie Murphy and of course the musketeer cat who is absolutely adorable form a team to provide gamers hours of enjoyment. This game has been designed by Activision in such a way that it is half arcade racer and half party game, similar in features to the Mario Kart clone, going back to the GBA roots.
As a player, you are given the option of selecting Shrek characters. Cast is usual of course and with the inspiration of the movie around you, you can hit locations numbering up to twelve to race around in style. The hazards in Shrek Smash’n'Crash Racing come in the form of encounters with inhabitants, with the scenario bordering on the fairy tale. As you win over them, you collect modifiers and other items used for defense or offense. You can use the speed boosts to race ahead in this tried and tested generic method.
Interestingly, characters are used for riding using animals from Dreamworks universe. This is way better than just shoving them into a go kart and watching a drab race. For example, it is fun watching a dragon being ridden by a Donkey or a bull being ridden by Puss n’ Boots.
Solid design and gameplay takes this game a step ahead of its earlier counterparts. Tracks numbered twelve are exciting, each from a different fairy land with their own hooks in the race. Levels also feature exciting multiple routes.
Disadvantages include the slow loading times and speed. However, the other exciting features far over ride the sense of disappointment making this one of the most sensational and exciting game on PSP yet.
