THE ANIMORPHS INVADE THE PLAYSTATION GAME CONSOLE AND PC AS GT INTERACTIVE AND SCHOLASTIC ENTERTAINMENT PRESENT

ANIMORPHS: SHATTERED REALITY
&
ANIMORPHS: KNOW THE SECRET

Two Unique Games To Hit Stores This August, Based On Scholastic's Best-Selling Book Series And Popular TV Show

New York, NY -- The interactive invasion has begun! GT Interactive and Scholastic Entertainment Inc. have joined forces to bring the Animorphs phenomenon to the PlayStation game console with Animorphs: Shattered Reality and to the PC with Animorphs: Know The Secret. Based on Scholastic's best-selling book series by K.A. Applegate, with more than 32 million copies in print, and the hit TV show airing on Nickelodeon, both interactive adventures enable players to become their favorite Animorphs -- Jake, Rachel, Marco or Cassie -- and save the world from the evil Yeerks. The players are empowered by the ability to transform the Animorphs into the animals they touch to help thwart the Yeerks diabolical plans of world domination, while eluding Human-Controllers and other aliens along the way. Animorphs: Shattered Reality and Animorphs: Know The Secret are expected to ship this August.

Both games have unique and distinctive features that truly capture the essence of the book series, including mysterious storylines and a never-before-seen proprietary technology that incredibly morphs each of the on-screen teenage heroines into various animals. An exciting combination of exploration and action, Animorphs: Shattered Reality for the PlayStation finds the Animorphs caught in a time warp. The player's mission is to gather the shards of the Time Matrix Crystal and restore the timeline back to normal so the Animorphs can return home. Animorphs: Know The Secret for the PC requires more strategic thinking as the player tries to discover why controller activities seemed to have slowed down over the past month. Animorphs: Know The Secret also features a special journal that keeps track of the player's adventure as it unfolds, creating their very own Animorphs story.

Game Description and Features:

Animorphs: Shattered Reality for PlayStation

The Story:
The game begins with the Animorphs (in morphed animal forms) locked in a vicious battle against a horde of Hork-Bajir and Taxxons in a Yeerk pool cave. The evil Visser 3 arrives with the final piece for the Continuum Crystal to destroy the Animorphs forever. But the device misfires, scattering the pieces of the crystal and causing a rift in the space/time continuum -- shattering reality.
