Good Points

A mix of different game styles keeps everything fresh and moving along. Even though the different game types have all been done before the presentation of the different formats is excellent.

Bad Points

The camera angles can be annoying at times and the sound leaves a lot to be desired.

General Comments

It's hard to say in what type of genre Shrek 2 fits, as it seems a mix of various types of games. It's mainly a melee/party type game, with almost equally strong platform elements of jumping, puzzle solving and item collecting. The melee/party aspect centers around the party of four characters that players control throughout the game. While only one character is under the player's control at any given time, the others follow the main character around in a pack, and can be changed instantly to the lead character with a push of a button. This is a very streamlined method of changing characters, and Luxoflux even designed it to where other players can pick up a controller and immediately become one of the characters, without having to change modes of gameplay. The same goes for leaving the game. The different genres and multiplayer will add longevity and the kids, what it is aimed at will love it, without parents hassling or worrying what they are playing. This would certainly keep the whole family entertained on a wet Saturday afternoon. A few niggles eg the camera angles and mini-games but otherwise a cute fun game.
