Shrek Super Party

Yes, the evil prince, smelly donkey, and ogre in disguise are all back for another console outing thanks to TDK, this time in a multi-player adventure, Shrek Super Party for PlayStation 2. Coming several months after the Xbox release of the same game, Super Party pits friends and family in a host of mini-games spread throughout the fairylands. From bug collecting to obstacle courses, Shrek Super Party offers a feast of fun for all fans of the loveable(ish) ogre!

Sensing a general listlessness across the land, Lord Farquaad decides to organise a tournament to entertain the masses, hosted in his usual flamboyant manner by the Magic Mirror. You're up for a bit of fun, so get to it!

Super Party offers a party game in which up to four participants travel through five fairytale realms to play mini-games, challenge other players to games, collect bugs to extract bug juice and send unfortunate co-travellers to the Evil Bog. The first player to get 100 drops of bug juice at the end of a round wins the game. The mini games include arcade shooting, racing, collecting, puzzles and several other simple yet addictive party pieces. Each game has a short learning curve, but all are skill-based, making them easy to learn and difficult to master.

Party games are a rapidly growing genre, and with games like Shrek Super Party available, it's not hard to see why.
