Shrek's Carnival Craze is a collection of mini-games based on familiar midway attractions such as ring-tosses, thrill rides, and so-called tests of strength. The sometimes grumpy but always good-hearted ogre hosts the carnival, and the games are all run by characters from the three previous Shrek feature films. There are 28 activities in all, including "Mudslide Madness," "Rapunzel's Hair Climb," "Three Wheeled Thrills," and "Wild Waterworks." The DS edition of the game makes use of touch-screen controls to mimic simple carnival game actions such as throwing or steering.
