More Details Revelaed on Ye Olde Shrek the Third Royal Tournament game

As you already know, AOL is launching an online game and tournament tied to DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming film Shrek The Third.

The Ye Olde Shrek the Third Royal Tournament game gives players a series of online challenges involving characters and settings from the movie. Each game, 25 in all, will serve as its own competition. And every time consumers play, they will gain an entry into an associated sweepstakes.

At the end of the six-week promotion, AOL will send one grand-prize winner on a family trip to Hollywood. Partners Mark Burnett and DreamWorks Animation assist AOL in game production.

The game at Shrek.AOL.com builds off the Flushed Away Underground Adventure game AOL rolled out last year.

Quick plot notes:
In Shrek The Third, ogre Shrek marries his love, Fiona. But the honeymoon is cut short when his father-in-law, King Harold, suddenly dies. Shrek searches out a replacement in Fiona's cousin Artie, an underachieving Medieval high school slacker, with the help of his friends, Donkey and Puss In Boots. The movie hits theaters May 18.

Details on the game are very thin, but we would say that the idea of taking control of the flatulent green ogre one more time is quite tantalising.
