Item Description

Despereaux Tilling is not like other mice. He reads fairy tales instead of nibbling the pages, refuses to cower and dreams of being a knight, and in Kate DiCamillo's Newbery Medal-winning novel and the 2008 animated film adapted from it, that courage carries him into a quest to rescue Princess Pea. The PlayStation 2 game, released alongside the film, hands that tiny hero a toothpick for a sword and sends him off into a storybook kingdom.

Developed by Sensory Sweep Studios, it is a 3D action platformer across 16 chapters, with Despereaux jumping, climbing and fighting his way through a world built on a mouse's scale, his blade a toothpick or a needle. Every level hides three musical notes, one red, one green and one blue, giving young players a reason to explore each corner. Water is deadly to a mouse this small, so careful jumps and checkpoints matter.

Critics were hard on the console version, so it is best approached as a kid-friendly movie tie-in rather than a demanding platformer. What it offers is a chance for younger fans to step into a story they loved on screen or on the page: a fairy tale about honor, forgiveness and a very small hero with enormous ears. It also rounds out a shelf of late-era PS2 movie games, released when the console was still going strong more than eight years after its launch.
