Shrek 2

200464/100
PlatformAdventure
Shrek 2's charm lies in its irreverent take on fairytale tropes, wrapped in a surprisingly robust action-platformer. Players take control of Shrek and his misfit crew, swapping between characters to solve puzzles and brawl through levels. The combat, while simple, benefits from the variety of playable characters and their unique abilities. Its success hinges on the strength of its source material and the way it translates the film's humor into playable scenarios.

About Shrek 2

View Game Details
Game based on the second movie, developed by the makers of Vigilante 8. Shrek is on a journey to meet his in-laws, so Shrek 2 follows his adventure to Far Away Land and the chaos that ensues once Fiona's parents learn that their precious daughter is an ogre -- and is married to the crudest of them all. Shrek 2 features a mixture of puzzle solving and enemy bashing. Players are able to control one of four characters at any given time -- swapping between them at will. Each character has a set of basic attack moves and a special ability. Donkey has a "Burro Blast" that can knock down large objects, Shrek can pick up and throw heavy objects, and Fiona -- in a nod to her fight scene in the first movie -- can slow down time, Matrix-style.
