    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    I absolutely loved this game!

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    This game DID change my life.

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.

It's sad the DICE have gone down hill and started making games like "Field of battle five" or whatever. Next time you have the argument on if video games are art or not, bring up Shrek Extra Large. This game is the peak of an artistic medium, and the peak of art in general. I'm a tough man, but I cried 16 times during this game. I would recommend this game to anyone.… Expand

    Shrek Extra Large is simply the greatest game ever created and anyone who disagrees is a disgrace, love this game as it loves you. Best part is the deep Donkey story arc.

    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.
