Shrek Games - Nathaniel Bandy

somebody once told me that shrek games are like onions they're just layers upon layers of crap and you know they're probably right about that but screw it let's try out some shrek games right now starting with shrek 1 on the og xbox and yes i did actually buy a brand new xbox i wouldn't say it's brand new but it is very heavy why is this thing like 50 pounds uh before we get started i also just can we just can we talk about this seriously look at how giant this controller is who is it made for gorillas anyway let's see what the box has combat the most twisted baddies this side of duloc kills with your red chili pepper belch and onion charged flatulence i guess i'm excited boy am i glad to see shrek pull a candle out of his ear now recently i've learned the support of the game on the gamecube called shrek extra large we're gonna play that one instead because this controller sucks and i've discovered that i've basically wasted my money on a game console for for shrek well excuse you oh the burps are the sound effects for the menu that's not gonna be annoying at all nice i have to erase the word player before i can type my own name in this isn't off to a good start use the c stick to change your view look at his face anyway this is your typical 3d platformer you run around to shrek and you're equipped with a surprisingly robust moveset you can wall jump punch kick grab fart burp fire set your farts on fire and run fast so you travel through worlds and collect an assortment of random things you're equipped with this book that has all the missions you need to make progress but it's just not fun the levels are so tedious like where is the challenge it's just a barren wasteland i really love how there wasn't a sound effect when i kicked that guy that didn't feel right did it what the is that metal dentures with a tongue chained to a stick okay time to move on this is shrek 2 on the gamecube like the first game it's mostly a collect-a-thon but much better the controls are more precise killing enemies feels nice and you can play as other characters like fiona and donkey we seem to be off to a good start what's all that shrek i don't know but there's chickens all over the place this is my home not a petting zoo welcome to married life so now i'm stuck throwing chickens into this pot okay how did that miss so all the characters have their own special abilities fiona can slow down time donkey can do the strong kick and so on you'll swap characters to access different sections of levels and that's basically it give this a try if you want to laugh for a few hours but if you need more shrek 2 in your life well it's on the game boy advance 2 2. get it to start the story is ripped right from the movie told through very grainy pictures but it's game boy advance so that's expected okay okay i can't tell if he's like upset or if he's excited about what he's doing the way he says oh okay it's fascinating to me it's honestly just it's fascinating this is your typical 2d platformer and it's equipped with some surprisingly good animation the controls are okay but when you get hit by an enemy you fly a million miles back but the music is kind of chill [Music] the goal is to find donkey but when you get to the end you don't find him and shrek celebrates anyway huh oh there's donkey so the only difference between the two is that donkey can kick objects while shrek picks them up you'll need to do this to reach higher ground while playing through the game seriously why is the music so good [Music] okay and this is where the game starts to suck you play this level as shrek and donkey but not at the same time yeah you manually have to move them and basically play the same stage twice well that's pretty dumb but at least it's not shrek fairy tale freak down here we go god i'm not ready to play this even shrek is terrified just look at him oh oh no this blows man i can't even describe how bad the controls are it feels like half my attacks don't even work this didn't need to come out like why is it real as far as shrek spin-off games go i don't think get worse than that i hope [Applause] this is shrek swap card speedway think mario kart super circuit bushrek surprisingly there's a lot of courses to try out you'll play in a swamp a forest with these dr seuss kind of trees a country hustle and much more my only problem is the controls the steering is okay but your cart goes way too fast and i swear half the items don't even work like look at this shrek butt blasted us and that was it this game overall is just average to say the least now shrek iii was the next movie to come out and yes we're gonna talk about those series of games and no worries no worries i got us the best version of the game on the wii u what you have got to be kidding me b movie game i have struck meme gold ladies and gentlemen it turns out shrek iii has a demo of the b-movie game whoa the demo was really simple all you do is move your wiimote around the screen and tap targets to move barry in order to avoid cars and other obstacles but i wouldn't play this demo because it froze my wii u so hard that i had to unplug the power beginner's luck am i right shrek the third starts off with this really cinematic cutscene i wonder if the whole budget for this game went towards this because it actually looks pretty cool gaming in 2017 am i right i'm not going i'm afraid by law that you have no choice in this matter royal attendance attack formation scepter 12 bravo wait a minute isn't shrek the king now and they're gonna attack him just because he's not going to some dinner the respect in this kingdom is far far away like all wii games motion controls are shoved down our throats you have to swing the remotes to punch or i guess flick since that's what you're actually doing 17 thingies smashed thingies the bulk of this game is running around punching people so it's like a beat em up except with motion controls you know how much i care about this game as much as this guy it's too bad shrek the third wasn't a half eastern game like shrek 2 was but maybe its ds counterpart is better [Music] nope well maybe the gba version is like saying oh it's it's just shrek 2 but with a new coat of paint the premise graphics and music are all very similar but now shrek's jump is extra laggy don't lose all hope yet there are a couple of good strike games out there like this one now i used to own this game as a kid and really loved it but that was over a decade ago so i don't know if it's held up or not so hassle of the castle is a platformer beat em up game i know it sounds like every other shrek game we've talked about but it's really polished the controls are responsive the sprite art is clean the music is catchy and punchy people is really fun you can tell the developers put some thought and care into this project if there's one shrek game to play this is your best option and the goodness doesn't stop there one year later a similar game called shrek wreaking havoc came out it plays very similarly to hassle of the castle except this time you start with fiona which is a strange choice but alas this is another pretty solid shrek game i think that's enough platformers for now let's check out shrek's smash and crash racing i don't know why but i'm excited for this one before we begin can we just highlight that donkey shrinks his dragon wife so he can race his pals and it's completely acceptable but really smash and crash racing is kind of fun the controls feel great the music is decent and there's a lot of neat items that can speed you up or slow you down and the whole shebang but what's the best part of smashing crash racing shrek constantly laughing well that was quite enjoyable and yes they're rds and game boy advanced versions you know the drill well that was going to be a good pun so smash and crash racing ds is practically the same game you got all the same characters stages items and music it just looks and sounds worse that's the only difference and this is the game boy advance version it's bad one of the more well known shrek games is shrek super slam i remember seeing commercials for this all the time as a kid but i never tried it so what we have here is a 3d fighter each character has their own distinct move sets in this slam attack move or the equivalent of a special there's a pretty big roster in a decent amount of stages too the problem is that super slam feels really unpolished the character models need work the voice announcer clips don't flow at all versus prince charming and the controls feel a little funky so the ds version of super slam has a lot less characters to pick from and the game is akin in my lordy the models and animations are atrocious they look like pre-alpha builds yes there's a gba version thought you'd never ask this looks promising i guess well i'm honestly at a loss of words for this one it's just not that fun end of story and if you thought we were done there oh no no no there was another shrek movie called shrek forever after and what came from that hmm whoa what is this [Music] we don't speak to anyone about this got it moving on now to shrek forever after also got it on the best console the only thing i really like about this one is that one of the pigs narrates my special ability is whistling while drinking water guys guess what shrek games finally got right you can swap your characters at any time with a push of a button hooray it only took them several years to get a basic game mechanic down unfortunately shrek forever after is pretty generic it's a combination of a puzzle and beat em up game and it doesn't offer much here we go shrek forever after on the ds right away i'm forced to sign this stupid contract but i'm i'm just gonna let simpleflips take one for the team that's really the only interesting thing about this whole game it's just some generic platformer and yadda yadda did shrek bust his head or bust a nut after suffering through all this shrek i think it's time to throw a party let's celebrate with shrek's super party shrek super party is just a rip-off of mario party you move across a board play some mini games and win bugs instead of coins there's really nothing special about it unless you really enjoy the mini games and i had some fun with the minigames i wonder if shrek's carnival crazed party games is fun too believe it or not this game has a story there's a carnival in town and fiona wants to take the kids with and shrek doesn't want to go but they end up going anyway yeah okay fun i can't wait poor shrek i've come to claim my crown oh i'll be happy to crown you do you two need a room so this is really just a mini game compilation it's not as fun as shrek's super party because the motion controls ruin a lot of these games except this one where you control an arrow and go through hoops to hit a target but honestly unless you really wanted to milk cow as a baby ogre i would just pass on this one and did you know there's a ds version too who would have thought the only meaningful thing i have to say is that the mini games were the same as the wii version why didn't they make new ones uh when you play this much shrek guys it changes a man that's all i gotta say yeah you know what while we're going through puberty again let's go and check out some shrek phone games oh it's one of those voice box apps dude it wasn't synced it's a voice box app how do you mess up a voice box app you know what i'm just gonna pretend that didn't happen all right pocket shrek sounds like a game changer why why would i want to make someone fart this is the part where you run away you got it next game this is shrek sugar fever it's your typical phone puzzle game but with shrek i know that wasn't the best description of the game but my brain is just [Laughter] but don't worry guys don't worry this is going to make it all better this is the v smile it's a game console that focuses on educational games it's just what i need yeah baby we're going back to shrek the third ooh shrek on a skateboard while this seems like a cool idea the controls are terrible the jump button takes half a second to respond and all you do is go around collecting letters for words and jumping over ramps guess what i do next i pick up food and send it to the correct shop it's really fun did you know this guy is supposed to be rumpelstiltskin yeah man they nailed it and now the game is turned into a turn-based rpg but all you do is match the heroes for a so-called educational console i now feel dumber maybe shrek dragon's tale will help with this game you go in a bunch of fetch quests while also solving math problems and spelling out words 23-3 that's 20. yeah fiona you can't kick in here what i i can't kick in this building well might as well try out v reader right all right guys this shrek's vacation it's got like it's got a reading game it's really laggy and this is it's got um hey dude am i oh am i interrupting no what's up so about the camping trip what did you leave behind i forgot my backpack and why should i help you find it because i just i don't remember where we camped it was three days ago look dude you know i have a bad memory just help me out fine let's go okay so how far out was it again i think it was
