Tale of Despereaux : PlayStation 2 Description
Expanded Description The Newbery Award-winning book and 2008 computer-animated film makes its PlayStation 2 debut with The Tale of Despereaux. Control a large-eared mouse named Despereaux as he escapes from a castle's dungeon to rescue his beloved Princess Pea from a grumpy group of rats. The action takes place from a third-person view set behind the valiant mouse, as he scampers across platforms and uses swordplay to defeat enemies. Battle spiders, bees, and rats with such weapons as a toothpick, nail, corkscrew, and sewing needle. Throughout the game's 16 chapters, you'll explore multiple rooms in the castle, collect cheese and buttons, and master a variety of combo attacks to defeat your adversaries. You can also choose from multiple difficulty levels to extend the game's replay value.
