Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Shrek: Fairy Tale FreakDown takes players on a no-holds-barred, irreverent comical fighting adventure as characters from the movie duke it out for the title of Ultimate Champion. Players can compete as Shrek or one of several well-known fairy tale characters, including Pinocchio, the Gingerbread Man, and the Big Bad Wolf. This tongue-in-cheek game features three difficulty levels, a training mode, nine arenas, six characters available for play immediately (plus three to unlock), and unique fighting moves (including farts and bad breath).

As a fan of the movie, I was pretty disapointed by this game. It's not bad, but it's nothing special. There's also no strategy to it at all. Punch, kick, jump, repeat and you beat the game. Even if you're a fan of the movie, rent this first.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not even a challenge for a 7 year old, November 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown (Game Cartridge)

We were so fired up to finally be getting the Shrek Game Boy game. My son has really enjoyed all of his games and has gotten really good at them. But, just imagine my surprise when I saw him with tears streaming down his face after just a few minutes of playing. My first reaction was to remind him that it will take some practice to get better. His response to me was "It's just a fighting game." He even had his own ideas of how it could have been better, (ie. more puzzle levels, jumping, ala Mario). I take blame for this one. I didn't read the back of the box. I assumed........and you know...... There are lots of great games out there. Save your money on this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mortal Kombat Gone Shrek, November 4, 2001

I saw, and loved the movie. I expected this game to be somewhat of an action adventure, with the ability to switch characters and solve puzzles. Picture the image of Shrek being able to belly-bash, and the donkey being able to jump and bray. What I got was basically just a fighting game, ala Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter. The game itself is good, but all you get to do, is play as many different characters and fight best of three rounds. It has special moves to learn, and is a decent fighting game, but nothing more. You just need to take this into account, and if you like that idea, then buy it, if not....it might be good for a rent.
