All Game Guide
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.

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.

Are we going to be forever destined to inferior products based on popular characters wading through a series of hackneyed mini games?
Official Xbox Magazine
Unless you're a complete Shrek enthusiast, or a party-game addict, file this one under "don't bother." [Feb 2003, p.80]
Game Informer
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]
Xbox Nation Magazine
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!
TotalGames.net
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.

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 :-)

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...
Matt D. gave it an 8:
This is a great multiplayer game! This is the only game I have where if more than one person (hell, all 4 people) play, the gameplay does NOT get worse (ie, some games, you go from full screen in single player mode to 1/4 of the screen in multi player mode). The mini games are dumb but can be fun. Most of this game is pure luck, which can piss you off quite a bit.
