About this deal

The courses are neatly undulating and make great use of the films they’re based on. Mongo stands astride the city of Far Far Away from Shrek, as you dodge the King and Queen’s stretch limo-carriage. The Cave of Lost Souls from Puss in Boots is stitched together with portals, taking you into a Ghost Train-like experience with Death staring at you from its walls. The game features full voice acting, complete with banter between the characters. Many lines have the characters call each other out by name, or through name calling. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you.

The first time the four original main characters from Shrek were featured together since Shrek 4-D in 2003. Despite being revealed as Death in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, he is still referred to as "Wolf" in the game. There are references to his true identity however, which includes quotes from The Last Wish, his kart being a coffin, and a new line, "I'm here Farquaad!"

AWESOME KARTS: Each kart draws its distinct design from the unique personality of its DreamWorks character-driver! Put your very own twist on the kart with hundreds of parts and accessory combinations to level up! Kill Count Coffin (decorated with the red illustrations of Puss' deaths with numbers, including "9" on the side doors) This is the fifth DreamWorks racing game, following Shrek: Swamp Kart Speedway, Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing, Madagascar Kartz, and DreamWorks Super Star Kartz.

In addition to DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing, DreamWorks’ Trolls are coming to a separate game as well, DreamWorks Trolls Remix Rescue. Developed by Petit Fabrik, Trolls Remix Rescue is a 3D platformer that tasks players with saving the Trolls Kingdom from “a melodic mastermind who’s trying to alter the Trolls’ musical harmony forever,” GameMill said in an announcement.Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. All-Star Racing Roster: Hit the kartway with 20 fan-favorite DreamWorks Animation characters, including Shrek, Po, Tigress, Boss Baby, Puss in Boots, Hiccup, Astrid and many more! DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing will be heading to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC via Steam at some point in 2023. As for when in 2023 it’ll see the light of day remains a mystery, though it’s fair to say that it’ll be targeting a Q4 launch, perhaps to coincide with the pre-holiday season rush, if anything.

ALL-STAR CAST OF DREAMWORKS CHARACTERS: Who will you choose? With favorites such as Shrek, Po, Tigress, Boss Baby, Puss in Boots, Hiccup, and Astrid, it’ll be hard to choose just one. The extended Shrek family is strongly represented in DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing; the eponymous ogre, his ogre wife Fiona, Donkey, and Puss in Boots are all playable racers. Wolf from Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is also playable, but one of two characters exclusive to a digital deluxe version of the game (the other is Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda). Each character will have their own kart — Shrek’s looks all swampy, Fiona’s is onion-inspired, and Donkey’s is modeled after the mother of his children — that can be upgraded with cosmetics and other customizations.The third time Eric Bauza voiced Puss in Boots in a major production following The Adventures of Puss in Boots, and The Trident. The sheer number of route-permutations is extremely high, and builds a high skill ceiling for DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing. Miss a lyre, which is easy to do considering that they only appear once the previous one is collected, and you’re at a severe disadvantage. Fail to notice that a secret passage lies up that aeroplane chassis in the Madagascar level, and you’re playing catch up. For younger players it might be frustrating to see daddy suddenly appear in the distance, and online multiplayer (plus the later difficulties) demands that you use them well. But it equally adds depth to the racing.

MULTIPLE RACING MODES: Awesome online and split-screen local multi-player for non-stop action the entire family will love.Awesome Karts – Each character boasts their own uniquely styled kart to race. Players can put their own twist on each ride with hundreds of customisable parts and accessory combinations. The second overall appearance of Shrek and Donkey in the 2020's (third for Shrek including his cameo in The Pentaverate). DreamWorks Animation all-stars Shrek, Puss in Boots, Boss Baby, Hiccup, and a whole bunch of Trolls are getting the Mario Kart treatment for a new game: DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing. The crossover kart racer will span two decades of the DreamWorks cinematic catalog, borrowing characters from the Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon films, as well as Megamind and The Bad Guys. So with all that said, I'm gonna take this review with a grain of salt. The gameplay looks solid, although I did see some footage of the Switch version, and it unfortunately does look way worse graphically than on other platforms. This is honestly a very pretty looking game on PS and Xbox from what I've seen, but some of the levels like the Madagascar one and Shrek's swamp have lots of missing grass and tree leaves, and what is there looks like something from an N64 game. So I'm really conflicted on this one. I don't want an ugly version of the game, but I also don't really want it on another platform. I might just wait for a sale since I already have the MK8 DX DLC that just dropped, as well as Disney Speedstorm to keep me busy for now.
