Together, teams can navigate through Shrek’s two realities while solving mind-bending puzzles, and fending off Rumplestiltskin’s army of baddies. Players can join in on the action at any time in the co-operative multiplayer mode to form a team of up to four players. There’s tons of living room fun to be had in the Shrek Forever After video game, which turns Shrek into a social and team experience that the whole family can enjoy. Now, it’s up to Shrek to undo all he’s done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world, and reclaiming his one True Love. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king, and Shrek and Fiona have never met. As is the case with many movie tie-in games, don’t expect to hear Mike Myers or Eddie Murphy voicing their characters.Longing for the days when he felt like a real ogre, Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. The one where Shrek wasn’t born looks gloomy and desolated, while the real Far Far Away looks magical and charming. The land of Far Far Away looks visually pleasing and varied, especially when taking into consideration that the game will have you traveling between two versions of it. Character models, especially, look fantastic: pretty close to their movie counterparts. If there’s one thing that’s simply commendable about Shrek Forever After is the attention to detail in the visual department. For example, Shrek will have to push a box that Fiona then sets on fire, and finally, Donkey kicks said crate into a target.
Most of the puzzles are a simple task that involves changing characters to move an object from point A to point B, making use of the characters’ skills to complete the puzzles. In this case, Shrek is a brawler, Fiona can set things on fire, Puss in Boots can jump high, and Donkey can kick stuff. Think of games like Crash: Mind Over Mutant where every character has a unique skill that helps them with the puzzles.
For older players, they might seem downright trivial, but they’re perfect for younger audiences.
Most of the time you spend with Shrek Forever After will be solving some pretty basic puzzles. That said, more attention has been given to the multiplayer component this time around, making the four-player mode better than ever. The game is a simple beat ‘em up mixed with puzzle elements, in a similar style as previous Shrek games, particularly Shrek 2 for the PS2. To recover everything he holds dear, Shrek must explore the alternate version of Far Far Away – one where he wasn’t born – and defeat Rumpelstiltskin at his own game. But things aren’t as great as the ogre thinks: with his wish, he’s also lost his family and Fiona, his one true love.
