Shrek Kart debuted at the App Store a few days ago, and like just about every other Gameloft title for the iPhone, it’s glistening under more coats of polish than anybody could ask for. Like you’d expect, this one’s not for the hardcore motorheads that are into Real Racing, but it’s a perfect candidate for fans of Shrek or the other lighthearted ‘Kart’ games.
All of the familiar characters unite to compete in a charity racing event that will benefit Humpty Dumpty after his, you know, great fall. I guess high quality universal health care is just a fantasy even in the fairy tale world.
After everything’s unlocked, you can race as any of the ten competitors on 15 different tracks. Each character has his or her own unique kart and access to personalized power-ups, as well as collective ones that can be harvested from the track. Steering can be controlled by either tilt or tap, and a brake button that slows the auto-acceleration can be mastered to bust out some sick drifts.
In addition to copious servings of tournament gameplay and loads of individual challenges, Shrek Kart offers the chance for up to six players to compete over a local wi-fi network or Bluetooth. Sounds to me like an opportunity for some pretty cutthroat fairy tale racing action.
