Game Overview

Shrek® Super Slam – PS2 from Activision® pits the characters from the Shrek® franchise against each other in a game that combines the twisted humour and pop-culture parodies of the Shrek® Universe with the fast-paced action of a melee fighting game.The game allows you to choose to play as one of the 20 fantasy characters from the movies-including heroes like Shrek, Donkey, Puss in Boots and Fiona, and villains like Prince Charming, Captain Cook and many more. It lets you enjoy a buffet of humour with characters that deliver taunts and jokes, and farcical environments parody popular TV shows, movies and other pop culture icons.

The Good

Gamers play as 20 favorite Shrek and fairytale characters, unleashing power slams, taunts and signature attacks including juggling foes as Donkey, swashbuckling as Puss in Boots, leveling kung fu kicks as Princess Fiona and belly flopping as Shrek. Players use powerful potions, weapons and magical items and unlock new characters, arenas and costumes in single player story, ladder and mega challenge modes, or engage in frenzied multiplayer melee combat.

An easy game to pick up and play, but unless you're a big fan of the license there isn't much to keep you playing.

As far as children's titles go, this one is absolutely terrific. It takes all of the fighting games like SoulCalibur and Mortal Kombat and puts them into a witty, harmless game that you don't feel so bad about letting them play.

It's obvious from the first minute of play time that SuperSlam aspires to copy "Super Smash Bros.," and a general lack of character responsiveness and a sometimes jittery framerate with multiple characters onscreen limits the fighter's potential.
