New Shrek Media
The Canadian branch of Digital Illusions, which was formerly named Sandbox Studios, is currently developing Shrek for the Microsoft Xbox. Thanks to a mixed-up spell from the evil sorcerer Merlin, Shreks pal Donkey is trapped in a magic mirror. Now its up to Shrek to help his faithful sidekick. Players assume the role of Shrek as he sets out to face Merlin. The object of the game is to restore the magic mirrors now-depleted powers of transportation. This is accomplished by performing good deeds throughout the games levels. The game features eight worlds with five or six missions each. There will be characters from the movie included in the game, as well as newly created characters. There are currently no plans for any multiplayer support. Shrek for the Xbox is currently scheduled to appear in the first quarter of 2002. To view the exclusive new screenshots, click hereSource: http://www.gamespot.com
