A selection of great third party games will also be available including Shrek 2 (Activision), Sonic Advance 3 (THQ), Spyro The Dragon Fusion (Vivendi Universal Games) and Crash Bandicoot Fusion (Vivendi Universal Games).

Visitors to all events will have the chance to enter a prize draw to win a Jeep Wrangler as well as the chance to hone their skills in the Donkey Konga Bongo Battle tournament to win a host of prizes from Nintendo GameCubes and Game Boy Advance SPs, to giant inflatable bananas and t-shirts.

The top ten scorers from the tour will win a VIP place to play in the Donkey Konga Bongo Battle final at Game Stars Live, the UK’s biggest gaming event in London on 1 – 5 September.
