Developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision, Shrek 2 arrived on the Game Boy Advance as an action-adventure game. It blends action-adventure and adventure elements.
It is part of the Shrek series; on the GBA you can also try Shrek: Hassle at the Castle, Shrek SuperSlam and Shrek the Third. The series also appears on other systems with Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown (GBC) and Shrek Forever After (DS). Vicarious Visions also made Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace, Spider-Man 3 and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom for the GBA.
Shrek 2 is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
- you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want a game you can finish in one short session
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Shrek 2 is like
Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.
Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
