    About The Fairly OddParents: Clash with the Anti-World    

    In The Fairly OddParents: Clash with the Anti-World, Crocker's dastardly  experiment to prove that fairies exist has turned Timmy Turner's world into  the Anti-World where everything is opposite -- even Timmy and his Fairy  Godparents.  Now Anti-Cosmo, Anti-Wanda and Anti-Timmy are hatching a sinister  plan to stop the earth from turning and make it Friday the 13th forever.  With  their powers slowly dwindling as the dreadful day approaches, the real Timmy  and his Fairy Godparents must travel through the Anti-lands and save the rest  of the world from the evil Anti-Fairies.  Game features include a playable  Wanda and Cosmo, as well as a wish fulfillment system that turns Timmy into  action-hero characters such as a ninja, pirate, super-gardener and giant  gerbil.    

    The Fairly OddParents: Clash with the Anti-World was developed by  Razorback Developments Ltd. out of London.  For more information on The Fairly  OddParents: Clash with the Anti-World and the rest of THQ's product line-up,  please visit http://www.thq.com.
