    This game is SOOOOOO bad it has TERRIBLE graphics and makes no sense. Shrek looks mentally retarded and you have two useless moves, farting and burping. the story makes nos sense and the gameplay is boring and repetitive. the only reason to get this garbage is to make fun of it that is the only reason to get it.

    I absolutely loved this game! I feel like many of these reviews don't truly analyze the internal monologues between Donkey and Shrek. This game has layers, such as that of an onion, and like an onion, if you bite into it, you'll have a bad time.

    But if you take each layer, sauté it in the juices of 20th century romanticism, and enjoy it with a fine glass of Plato's Allegory of 'the

    But if you take each layer, sauté it in the juices of 20th century romanticism, and enjoy it with a fine glass of Plato's Allegory of 'the cave', you'll emerge an enlightened human.

    With mild themes of Apartheid, sexuality, and gender roles WELL before it's time, Shrek: Extra Large will not only entertain you, but enlighten you.

    To whom it may concern,

    I have recently had the pleasure to play and stream this game. The gameplay is exciting and engaging, you can choose from a wide array of powerful moves to dispose of the enemies in your way or solve intricate platforming or puzzle tasks. My stream also had a lot of fun watching me do a compact playthrough of the game. Overall, I highly recommend this game to

    This is probably the best game I've ever played, and certainly the best game on gamecube. Shrek: Extra Large is on of the most underrated titles of all time, while metacritic lists games like "Meteorite Prim" as the best of the console, while Shrek EL is left in the shadows. This is true injustice.

    Shrek: Extra Large changed the way I looked at games forever. Shrek: Extra Large made me understand games as an art. Shrek: Extra Large features a set of wacky and hilarious characters such as SHREK, FIONA, PUSS IN BOOT, and FARQUAAD!! This game is amazing and I suggest anyone pick it up at game stop and play It.

    It was a summers eve when I first played this game (this was when Al Gore tried to kill President Bush(this was not reported on by the mass media)) and these were dark times. Dark times. I had yet to see the eternal light that is Shrek Extra Large, and things we're... Not great. Various Farquaads held on to the last bits of power they could and things were bleak. People wandered the dank streets with much less than an onion in hand. Then on October 31st, 2002, Shrek Extra Large was released. It forever changed humanity, curing world hunger, killing off the Farquaads of our society, and bringing us a golden age that hasn't been upon us since 69 BC "The Year of the Ogre".

    I give this game a 10 because there is not higher number on this scale. My love for this game transcends any number on the world, and it gets me, pretty chubbed.

    This game is amazing I never understood art until I played Shrek Extra Large. Everything is straight out of a painting it's so unfortunate it's all ogre. Shrek is Love. Shrek is Life.

    With bad platforming and horrible graphics this is a lousy excuse for a mediocre movie but at least the game is kinda enjoyable and shrek 2 is way better.

    Simply groundbreaking. This project took 12 years to make and every year was perfect. The part where Dumbledore and Han Solo died was every sad and adds to the amazing story. Graphics are superb and flawless as well.

    She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
    In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
    Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
    Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
    Didn't make sense not to live for fun

    Only shooting stars break the mold
    It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
    You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
    But the meteor men beg to differ
    Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
    The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
    The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
    My world's on fire, how about yours?

    I need to get myself away from this place
    I said yep what a concept

    I was sitting in my room, crying because my mother had sold me to one direction. In the midst of my sadness, I hear a small knock on my window. I open it, and there he is.

My swamp was misty but i would hold it for shrek, i would forever hold it for shrek's massive shlong deep inside my raging sphincter. One direction walked in, shocked by the sight of the fairy tail we created together. I would forever remember the feeling of his monster wood inside my swampy forest

    2/10 havent played the game but im sure its ****
