Knowonder/Activision Shrek adaptation for young players. Platforming and action with Shrek, Donkey and Princess Fiona, film-faithful themed levels, basic gameplay. Mediocre execution. Only for very young film fans.

Shrek Extra Large (GameCube) price, value & rarity
Released in 2002, this TDK platformer offers a three dimensional adventure where Shrek crosses swamps and villages in a setting faithful to the first film. Jumping, exploration and a few simple fights make up a progression designed for younger players. The art direction tries to reproduce the feature's world, with a decent but flat result. The stiff handling and a wayward camera weigh today, and the challenge stays thin. Families and fans of the license mostly find an accessible stroll, more restful than demanding.
