    It's obvious from the first minute of play time that SuperSlam aspires to copy "Super Smash Bros.," and a general lack of character responsiveness and a sometimes jittery framerate with multiple characters onscreen limits the fighter's potential.
  2. All in all… this one’s mostly harmless, and could surprise you. Go ahead and give it a shot.
  3. An easy game to pick up and play, but unless you're a big fan of the license there isn't much to keep you playing.
  4. If you're above the age of 13, you may find this game extremely boring, and somewhat lackluster. It's got the makings of a fun-filled 3D fighting game, but it just unfortunately doesn't deliver like it should.
  5. All in all the premise of the game is fun. If you gave this game to a nine-year-old they would have smiles on their faces.

    It’s good for pick-up-and-play or to rent when the younger cousins come over to visit but in essence, there are few redeeming reasons to actually purchase this game.
  7. In short, Shrek SuperSlam is the kind of game that kids are likely to spend a happy afternoon with, after which it will end up shoved at the back of the cupboard.
  8. It's just a pity about the lacklustre responsiveness of the characters, as that downfall makes this a decent game as opposed to a good one. Hopefully Shrek will triumph in the next, inevitable tie-in. [PSW]

    Too easy and too short but Shrek Superslam still manages to continue the current happy trend of film conversions - or in this case, "inspired bys" - that are less than terrible. [Jan 2006, p.107]
  10. In a Land Far Far Away is where this title needs to stay. Despite good graphics and decent game play, the latest installment in this inexhaustible franchise leaves much to be desired.
  11. The fighting itself is simplistic, and button-mashing will serve you just fine, but there are a few combos to ferret out and master. Sadly, the movies' smart humor is missing, and most of the dialogue is immature at best.

    This game is funny, cool, beat 'em up, and fun! (I like Anthrax the best.)

    This fighting game deserves more credit than it gets. This fighting game is very done and it has a lot to do along with a lot of characters to unlock.
