Medieval castles, freaky amusement parks, foreboding old factories, and a haunted pirate ship set the scene for this ghostly adventure. Players venture through portals to strange worlds, each riddled with ghostly minions commanded by powerful bosses. Casper goes head-to-head with the evil Kibosh and his henchmen to defend the spirit world in this adventure game. Together, the unlikely duo can use their magic spells to ward off attacks and restore to health the mutated sorcerers, warriors, and monsters they encounter throughout their journey.Ĭasper Spirit Dimensions (PS2, due December 2001): Although the previous Casper games never quite impressed consumers worldwide, he now gets another chance with his next-gen debut on the PS2. Pryzm carries Karrock on her back as they search for the source of the curse. The evil has transformed the inhabitants into grotesque shadows of their former selves. Pryzm, a bold, young winged unicorn with magic powers, and Karrock, a troll mage, embark on a quest to find the source of an evil plague that has infested the Troll Mountains, Elfin Forest, Gnome Hills, and the Nymph Marshes.
PRYZM Chapter One: The Dark Unicorn (PS2, due March 2002): Fans of the fantasy-based TV series and novels should enjoy this action-adventure game.
Absolutely no information could be obtained prior to the show, but we'll bring you more info when TDK Mediactive fills us in on the planned kart racer. Shrek Kart (working title, GBA due spring 2002): Already announced but never seen, the kart racing game based on Shrek is said to make a first-time-ever appearance on the ECTS show floor behind closed doors. The latest build of the game will be at ECTS, and we will have complete impressions direct from the show floor. Along the way, he will face some very twisted fairy tale characters that are possessed by Merlin and his evil magic mirror. In order for the mirror to slowly regain its magic, players must guide Shrek to perform good deeds across the land. Shrek sets out to face Merlin, but he will need the magic mirror's now depleted powers of teleportation to get to Merlin's Black Tower Fortress. Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown (Xbox, due spring 2002): This project is currently being developed for Microsoft's Xbox at Digital Illusions Canada (formerly Sandbox Studios). Players will guide One Eye Jack through five worlds, including Colbutt Mountain and the Cocoa Soul Puffies cereal factory. He must also be a dead-eye shot with his slingshot and alien slime gun and grind the rails of social irresponsibility-all in the name of preserving his lifestyle.
To achieve his goal, he must board like a pro and bust out tricks such as a double ollie, 360, and hand plant.
No Rules Get Phat (GBA, due November 2001): One Eyed Jack, an excellent skate fiend and fearless leader of the No Rules posse, must stop an invasion by the so-called Punkazz aliens of his local hangouts. Along the way, Onimen's evil minions, the Tigermen, Pelicanmen, and Waspmen, keep Sia on her toes, while the ferocious Foxwoman, Chameleonmen, and 27 other bizarre enemies lie in wait.
In a perilous journey through 36 maps across four worlds, players must collect weapons and magical powers to defeat increasingly formidable foes and free prisoners, as Lady Sia prepares to confront her archenemy, Onimen. Lady Sia, a young, courageous warrior princess, attempts to save her beloved homeland from the cruel and heartless beastmen, the T'soas. Lady Sia (GBA, due October 2001): This platform game is set in a fantasy world inspired by Japanese anime.
