Shrek Extra Large

Historical

Shrek Extra Large, a relic of early 2000s licensed platformers, throws you into a painfully basic 3D world as Shrek and his pals. Combat is a repetitive button-mashing affair, and the camera often fights you more than the enemies. Yet, its appeal lies in its crude charm and the novelty of controlling the ogre and his friends in a simplified, kid-friendly adventure.
