  1. Offers an overabundance of boring mini-games that emphasize dumb luck over skill, and since this title is little more than a collection of mini-games, it suffers because of it.
  2. A horrible game? Not at all... Some positives include its clean look, tolerable music, and ease of play. Anyone can pick it up and start playing.
  3. Are we going to be forever destined to inferior products based on popular characters wading through a series of hackneyed mini games?
  4. Unless you're a complete Shrek enthusiast, or a party-game addict, file this one under "don't bother." [Feb 2003, p.80]
  5. Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks at the exact moment that I ejected this game from my Xbox. I then proceeded to toss it on the floor and violently smash it with a sledgehamer into a thousand little pieces. [Jan 2003, p.114]
  6. Let's just say that the only way to ruin a party quicker than loading up Shrek Super Party is to load up "Nickelodeon Party Blast." Stay away!

    Do not pass go, head directly to jail. It's bad. Boring. And also bad.
  8. To use the party analogy, if you're suitably inebriated with your mates you might get brief enjoyment out of Shrek Super Party, but youíll wake up the next morning with one hell of a gaming hangover and realise that what you thought was a good looking game is an ugly dog thatís puked on your Xbox. Trash.
  9. Shrek is full of dull, poorly constructed rip-offs that get recycled several times. You'll be utterly bored after a few minutes with these creepy diversions. [Feb 2003, p.158]

    I've seen the bad reviews, but my girls love this game. We keep coming back, and the mini games are really cute.

    I'd give this game a 8 for single player, but def a 10 for multiplayer mayhem. The concept is not new and done millions of times, but implemented very well. If you like partygames like Fuzion Frenzy, Monopoly Party, Mashed etc, than you will love it with 4 players. On the couch and screaming at each other you'll notice: time flies when you are having phun :-) Full Review »

    Some reviewers have no sense of humour - my gang picked this and Mario Party 5 up on rental for the weekend and Shrek kicks Mario's ass! Great fun, and a unique and well thought out scoring system. Not nearly as luck-orientated as MP, either... Full Review »
