Shrek 2 is a game I've played for 10 years ago and I still think it's spectacular, whether it's the graphics, the story or the characters.
Mechanically, it has the mechanic of having 4 characters in the game, however if one dies in a location you can't progress until you've defeated all the local enemies. The problem is if you have enemies outside where the character died it will be difficult to defeat them because you can't get there.
The cast of the game is Shrek, who can pick up things like barrels and throw punches, Donkey who has the specialty of destroying chains with his paw symbol, Fiona who can stop time (a very random choice), Gingerbread Man who has the specialty of throwing cookies that attract enemies and also throws a candy cane, Little Red Riding Hood who is a useless character, an alethoric fairy who shoots as if she were a minigun and a wolf that blows and attacks is good for two stages.
Historically, there are parts of the movie but they create random stories like going to Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother's house or entering a world of humanoid frogs that are stone monsters, that's really random, the end of the game is literally the end of Shrek 2.
The game's bosses are interesting, for example, the bomb-throwing monster, which you have to throw back at him, the giant pumpkin that creates mini pumpkins, which you just have to punch, the stone monster that you have to find the right timing to defeat, the prince charming who you just have to punch and the fairy godmother who appears a few times and at the end of the game.
The design is nice, it's in keeping with the vibe of the movie, especially the swamp, far far away and the penultimate stage of the game, the character designs are nice and not too dated, however, the fairy who wears pearls has nothing to do with the character design, it seems like they've changed their style.
The game has special stages called "Hero time" which are stages if you lose you go back to the beginning, these stages can be a game of rhythm, defeat enemies, get the item, a boss fight, game to reach the enemy and others, initially I liked the idea of these stages, however when repeating so many times I found it a bit boring again especially the penultimate one, because the game did not perform the jump action I clicked the X button.
This game has a BUG THAT WILL LITERALLY FORCE YOU TO REPEAT THE WHOLE STAGE, when I had the first boss fight against prince charming it went to the other side of the invisible wall (it just fell off the map) besides there is no way to go back to the checkpoint and also in one stage Hero Time literally appeared on the screen saying checkpoint when I was halfway through the stage, then I died and started at the beginning (my sanity went after that)
All in all, this game is incredible, but sometimes you'll be stressed out by the possibility of these bugs and not being able to restart any stage.
