Gameplay[]
The game resembles Lego games or LittleBigPlanet, with a few notable additions. Up to four friends can connect through local multiplayer and play through 6 different worlds to defeat enemies, and collect powerups and coins. One unique feature is that the enemies actively try to hinder a player's progress by setting up traps or hiding key items. The two main attractions of the game are the levels and the costumes. Players travel to 6 worlds from classic and contemporary Dreamworks properties constisting Flushed Away, Bee Movie, Over The Hedge, Trolls and Shrek.
Character Mode[]
The costumes need to be upgraded by finding stars in the levels. The skill set remains the same for each, but becomes more powerful. Each character has a handheld weapon specific to that character.
