The movies are more fun
Shrek Extra Large is, of course, based on the popular movie. In this game, you play a new side story in which Shrek has to rescue Princess Fiona from the wizard Merlin. In the game, Shrek's main attacks are punches and kicks, but he can also use his farts and burps to stun enemies.
I think the game is okay for the true Shrek fan, but I believe it could have been better if the controls were improved. The worlds are unique, as well as the music and voice acting.
Compared to the other Shrek games, this is definitely one of the weaker ones.
