Dreamworks All-Star Kart Racing (PS5)

Product Information

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.

The second overall appearance of Shrek and Donkey in the 2020's (third for Shrek including his cameo in The Pentaverate). The third time Eric Bauza voiced Puss in Boots in a major production following The Adventures of Puss in Boots, and The Trident. NL was way too harsh on NASB2. The performance is really not that bad, other than the load times, which can last up to 30 seconds just to start a match. There are also certain missions in the campaign where the game just doesn't load at all, which is a pretty egregious oversight. But the devs have said they have it fixed and are rolling out a patch for that, as well as the load times and frame drops. 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.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! To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated to the latest system software. Although this game is playable on PS5, some features available on PS4 may be absent. See PlayStation.com/bc for more details. 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.

The first time the four original main characters from Shrek were featured together since Shrek 4-D in 2003.MULTIPLE RACING MODES: Awesome online and split-screen local multi-player for non-stop action the entire family will love.
