  1. The animation is excellent as are the level designs. Vicarious Visions did a great job at bringing the Shrek atmosphere to the GBA.
  2. The designers have managed to capture the charm and visual style of the films and recreate a small portion of that magic on the small screen – the very small screen.
  3. The puzzles are cleverly designed to use character-specific abilities to their fullest. [July 2004, p.120]

  1. Graphics and level design are decent. The movement and combat is slow and makes the game boring. The atmosphere does feel like Shrek, however. That helps it out a little bit. Expand

    With its terrible graphics, way to simple controls, and puke worthy level design, this makes Grabbed by the Ghoulies look like Halo.
