And maybe if we’re lucky, it’ll be better than Swamp Kart Speedway. Fingers crossed that the upcoming Shrek 5 will bring a return to tie-in games, and a return to the swamp once again. That’s our ranking of the Shrek video games, and while many don’t live up to the immense reputation of everyone’s favourite ogre, some of them do a good job of turning far, far away into a workable digital locale.

Though it’s worth noting it still only caps out at a score of 70 on Metacritic, it’s the best game on the PS2 in which you through chickens into soup.
Immaculate platforming and an engaging story (though that’s mostly a credit to the film) make the tie-in a beautiful credit to one of the 21st century’s best-animated flicks, and a game that for the most part stands the test of time. Joining Spider-Man 2 and Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue in the licensed game hall of fame, the game based on Shrek 2 is an absolute belter. Plus, there’s a shockingly lively competitive scene for the game. Some of the inputs are a little wonky, but for the most part, Shrek Super Slam is an actually good Shrek-themed fighting game, as unbelievable a concept that might be. He really likes the fact he can switch to different players back & forth. This is a nice game for him to play and he can do most of it himself, there are a few obstacles we have to help him with or show him. A clear clone of Super Smash Bros, the game defies all expectation by having some competent design and some creative stages, not to mention an odd yet intriguing cast of fighters. This game was purchased for our 4 year old son because he really likes Shrek. But, to everyone’s surprise, Shrek Super Slam is actually alright. Of all the tie-in titles we could have received off the back of an animated title for a children’s movie, a beat-em-up was not one commonly expected. There’s a bit less Shrek in it than we’d like, mind, so don’t expect his involvement to be… ogre-whelming. It’s goofy, fun, and you’ll care for at least a little bit. It’s hard to fathom who asked for this game, but it does a pretty solid job of being a competent kart racer with licenced characters and tracks inspired by their worlds.

3 | DreamWorks Super Star KartzĪ game that’s definitely past the due date for tie-in titles, an amalgam kart racer that brings together the characters of Shrek, Madagascar and How To Train Your Dragon amongst others. The game was intended to be a remake of Crash Team Racing before it was scrapped and plastered with some Shrek-green paint, so while the tracks can be uninspired, the controls are tight and the gameplay is almost exciting. The game trades karts for strange animals that the characters ride through stages, which is certainly an odd touch, but one that’s engaging enough to carry you through the track at least. Shrek Smash ‘n Crash Racing might have a few odd character choices, but it’s a step in the right direction for the odd lineage of Shrek kart racers.

Another button-masher, but it’s still perfectly fine, and that’s all we can ask of a movie tie-in to Shrek Forever After, to be honest.
It’s a muddy looking one with some severely wonky voice acting, but it’s one that’ll keep kids who are fans of the franchise entertained for at least half an hour, and one that boasts some particularly creative cutscenes. 5 | Shrek Forever AfterĬreated perhaps too late after movie tie-in games lost their steam, Shrek Forever After remains a standard, but marginally fun gaming experience. Some moments can be lorded as forgettable and the controls are especially button-mashy, but it’s a good-looking game for its time, that’s at least a minor step towards a genuinely fun gaming experience starring everyone’s favourite ogre. 6 | Shrek The ThirdĪnother direct movie tie-in, Shrek The Third might be based on the worst of the Shrek films, but it’s still the start of an intense step up in quality for the ogre’s video game titles. Plus, the gigantic heads for the playable characters was a choice. Disappointingly meagre bargain bin fodder, that just isn’t fun. The minigames are uninspired, and quite frankly, don’t have much to do with the mythos of Shrek’s world. The party game that tries to bring the world of Far Far Away to your games night (“tries” being the keyword), Shrek Super Party is something of a flop. Shrek (also known as Shrek Extra Large in its Gamecube port) is a peculiar title with an odd quest system defined by the player’s “good deeds”, leaving the game with a dull and repetitive structure. The tie-in game for the original movie is one drenched in nostalgia for many, but we assure you, it’s probably not as good as you remember it is.
