I think I remember seeing this game for sale new at full price. I think full price Games had gone to $60 when the Xbox Original and PS2 came around.

This being originally a tech demo genuinely explains a lot. If anything, it's surprisingly playable for a demo, with quite a bit of gameplay for something that should be mostly limited. Sure, that gameplay is repetitive and broken, but it's there.

And then they tried to turn it into a better, more realized product, and it got worse.

I think my favorite part is how they couldnt get shreks va or even a sound alike. So every character but shrek gets a goofy voice, and hes just the lady reading the intros.

Geez, those Doctor Who movies from the 60s has some stiff competition for getting just about every drat thing wrong from both the original game and Extra Large. And I say this as someone who is indifferent to Shrek as a whole apart the first two films which I personally consider good. Like yes, Shrek was basically a middle finger to Disney and apparently not regarded highly by the production staff when the first film was being made, with being forced to work on it even being a punishment at DreamWorks. But you'd think that there'd be more effort put into the drat game at least. Chimera-gui fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Jun 12, 2017 |

In particular I think Shrek 2 was great, but yeah, there's nothing here resembling the unique tone of the first two films.

Am I wrong, or did I see one of the fairies phase through the ceiling at one point?

Yeah, that isn't a great finale but it's an acceptable one. I don't think the game itself deserves more, so it's fine, it's playable, just like the rest of this weird game. Good LP, I don't think I would've seen this weird SonicShrek game otherwise.

Earlier I likened this game to Amicus Productions' film adaptations of Doctor Who in terms of sheer incompetence and getting every drat thing wrong (watch Nash's reviews of them to an idea of how hilariously awful these films are). The reason I say this because it missed one of the factors I believe contributed to the success of Shrek as a franchise. This factor being the fact that while Shrek is not an overly complex character and isn't meant to be, he's also not a walking brute stereotype either. In fact an early joke in the original Shrek film involes the titular character correcting someone mixing ogres up with giants. Chimera-gui fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Jun 30, 2017 |

I wouldn't necessarily call Shrek deep either, but the characters in the film were remarkably thoughtful, and it's understandable to want that reflected in the games.
