Shrek 2: Team Action
Shrek 2: Team Action
Join your favorite characters from the animated film Shrek 2 as they embark on an all-new adventure.
Control a team of four and play as Shrek or any of his nine friends, switching between each to best utilize the character's unique abilities to solve puzzles, battle enemies and complete wild and dangerous adventures.
One section of the first level introduces you to “Lil Red”, AKA Little Red Riding Hood. I’m still unsure why, but she decided to start cooking outside Shreks house and in doing so let a load of chickens loose. Rather than collecting the cutesy chickens and sticking them in a bag for her, you and your cronies need to pulverise the chicks so they can’t move, then throw them (alive) into the vat of stew that Lil Red is cooking up. To me, this isn’t what Shrek is all about. In the movies there are a few scenes of mild violence and quite a lot of mild black comedy. Team Action doesn’t quite capture this and doesn’t give enough reasoning behind your team beating everything up and massacring animals. Surely there must have been a better way to use the franchise?
There are 9 characters in total to play as, including my favourite The Gingerbread Man, who has an awesome “Candy Ninja Cane” that works as a deadly boomerang. The four starting characters are Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey and my Ginger friend. Each thug has their own special skills and fighting styles that are key to progress through some stages. For some unidentified reason Princess Fiona can slow down time, allowing the gang to take out enemies with ease, or pick up certain objects that could not be reached before the slow motion kicked in. Donkey can pack quite a punch with his mule kick and Shrek being the muscle can pick up enemies and items. Further into the game more characters are available to control, including Puss in Boots, Lil Red, Big Bad Wolf and the Tinkerbell influenced Fairy
