#Shrek (Xbox game)

[big-bad-shorty-king]

Can someone who’s into collecting original Xbox games please explain to me why this copy of Shrek Super Party was $1500 at my local bookoff

[doctor-disc0]

These are most of the games I played up until I turned 14 and was allowed to start playing Skyrim and Oblivion. After that, I had Elder Scrolls brain rot and rarely played any non-Elder Scrolls games

Also, honorary shout-out to The Legend of Zelda: the Twilight Princess. I did, in fact, try playing it when I was a kid. However, I never got very far. I always got lost in the first dungeon as a wolf, lol.

I would love to hear about the video games other people played as kids! Feel free to leave your favorites in the comments or reblogs <3

Top 47K - Shrek SuperSlam

Join the HG101 gang as they discuss and rank a truly cursed game. Cursed, benighted, loathsome, and dreadful. A dark, dark event for the entire medium.

[hollowtones]

The thing that drives me nuts about it is all the anecdotes I see about it are the devs at the time being really proud of what they worked on. Like this is after "Knights of the Old Republic 2", and well into the dev of "Neverwinter Knights 2". And everyone was apparently super attached to this dumb ass Disney dwarfs game. And there's NO footage. As far as I know. And I feel like there's no damn way Disney would let that get out anyway. And I'm DESPERATE to be a fly on the wall circa 2005 - '06. You've all seen "Shrek" for the original Xbox. Come on. This coulda been a goldmine.

They wanted the seven dwarves to hunt down some guy and trap him in the mirror. It was a fuckin prequel. Come onnnnnnnn

SHREK 2!!! I rated the game too harshly ^^; I really love this game but me and my friend decided to try to beat it all in one day and we ended up developing terrible headaches because of it T-T (which in turn lead to a harsher rating)

It's one of my favorite childhood games and it does show it's age, it was a struggle to get through by fighting the camera positioning and some of the cryptic rules but I'm glad I remembered enough about the game to get through it! Still a great adaptation of the first two shrek movies it's so creative and I absolutely adore the environmental designs

Writing typed below!

Rating: 6.0 (I would rerate this at around 7.8?) Played: Su 23 Port: Xbox Favorite? Neutral (not a top favorite but also not hated) Replayable? Y Recommend? Y

Comments:

Played with Kailey!

Collectable snail eyes every level

leprechaun shop dealer that we missed once

mostly minigames within Far Far Away

(About Frankenstein's Monster sticker) Not shrek but close enough...

my main was Red (or shrek when unavailable) and Kailey's was Puss and Gingy

Hero Time to have special levels for certain characters

I really liked the puss fight, rhythm fights are fun

start with shrek fiona donkey and gingey -- later add Red Puss Wold Fairy

don't like the spiders or eggs

the minecart hero's time was so hard

still love the farm level

why are there so many trolls in the final fight

i liked playing as human shrek and horse donkey

i love how easy it is to swap characters

Game Dev Notes

Can move camera but also has forced camera movements - frustrating

love the different fighting styles and extra characters - fits well with movies

fun and creative level design that expands on the movie - tons of nostalgia

Although it's not my favorite game, it was fun to replay for the nostalgia, It's a fun movie to video game similar to Barnyard, Over the Hedge, etc. I loved getting to play as Red again and figure out the puzzles and find my favorite levels (Far Far Away and Jack and Jill's Farm). Unfortunately, the mechanics were rough and we had to fight against them like the camera angle. Both Kailey and I ended up with headaches by the end of the game. The headache plus the broken save points for the final battle caused us to end the game early since we just were no longer in the mood lol. I ended up watching a video of the final battle later. It's a great from the time it came from and is definitely a video I could see Burback reviewing, but it's more of a frustrating game to play today. Def a recommend to Shrek and older game fans though!!

Shrek SuperSlam

In generations past, a fairly common sort of licensed game would be a take on Capcom’s often-forgotten Power Stone. These games often had a lot in common – two to four fighters allowed to move freely through a three-dimensional area, picking up and using various weapons to KO the other fighters first, and mechanics that focused more on enjoyable chaos than true depth. Shrek Superslam meets all these criteria admirably, and yet something strange happened – people started taking it seriously. Well, somewhat – it was never going to reach Evo in a hundred years, but a small presence for the game began examining it more closely. Unfortunately, whatever community there was for the game dispersed some time ago, as there simply wasn’t enough there to work with.

Shark Tale was also on the GameCube (I'm not sure if it's a unique game). I only know this because there was a trailer for it in Shrek for the GameCube which is itself different from the GBA, Xbox and (I think) mobile versions. Shrek for the GameCube bangs btw, and also (confusingly) follows the plot of Shrek 2.

there was a time when every animated film would have multiple licensed video games. like, Shark Tale would have a game on PC, PS2 and GBA, and they'd all be different.

Midnight Gaming: Working Man Roguelikes

So last night I played both Immortal Redneck and Ziggurat past midnight, checked socials later to find....nothing notable to talk about it, though the countdown for the new nintendo direct is up as I write this so maybe I'll talk about something there after.

Ok directs over lets talk now.

Balatro has a crossover with several properties such as witcher, dave the diver, vampire survivors and amogus. Power wash simulator has a shrek crossover where you clean shreks swamp. Star overdrive looked to be cool with you travelling across a planet on a hoverboard. Goat simulator 3 on switch looks choppy and terrible. Stalker trilogy is coming to switch... why. I know these games came to console last year I think but these games are kinda janky on pc, not sure how they ran on xbox or ps5, can assume it'll run like DOGSHIT on switch, should be fun. FGC is eating good since Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is announced and it'll have POWER STONE 1 AND 2 INCLUDED! Never really played those games but i've heard a ton from people who were pining for that series to come back, so thats cool. DS Castlevanias are coming to switch in Dominus collection very cool. Mysims is back in cozy bundle that has the first game and kingdoms included. I enjoyed them for what they were on wii, an attempt to do a chibi sims game. So thats cool. Yakuza Kiwami is ported to switch, thats crazy and weird. Last yakuza game on Nintendo console was the 1 + 2 hd remaster on Wii U and it sold ass, so sega never bothered with yakuza on nintendo for a while. Why they decide to bring Kiwami 1 which is considered questionable in quality for some people and not port zero instead is beyond me.

Ok thats done, lets cover roguelikes

So I decided to a double feature of two games for this post today, talking about a couple of roguelike fps games that I liked. Some folks do reckon that roguelikes are a bit too common nowadays. In fairness, I can see how it may feel like a cheap way to stretch content in a sort of "play it again, it'll be different woooo" vibe but there are cases of games that utilise the randomness well and actually have a compelling base for a game that a roguelike approach adds to. Take Enter the Gungeon and Streets of Rogue for example. Here I'm gonna talk about two Roguelike fps games I played last night.

Immortal Redneck has you playing as a redneck who drove into Egypt and died. And then he became a mummy. So you have three pyramids you need to go in and clear out, each having some bosses you gotta fight and they are scripted bosses so once you figure them out, you can beat them easy. Progress works kinda like Rogue Legacy where you need to spend on passive upgrades and unlocks before you enter as you'll lose all your gold starting each run to prevent you from just banking it.

IR's combat loop of exploring the map and dealing with enemies is nice. The guns do feel punchy though there are some guns that feel more practical and some that feel more gimmicky such as the infinite ammo ankh that doesnt do a whole lot of damage but is infinite which can be helpful if you run out. You get ammo back when enemies drop a blue box or from a chest and there have been a couple times were I was low on ammo so discretion with your aim is important to keep in mind.

You can choose a god from your sarcophagus in the main hub which gives you some different stats, a starting weapon loadout and a power that recharges overtime such as a grappling hook, a decoy or a power that can turn dropped gold into healing items. You can even choose the redneck himself and he has dynamite bundles and an infinite ammo power. Like the game enough, I say give it a go when you find it on sale.

So Ziggurat is another Roguelike with you as a student wizard needing to clear a challenge to graduate. You have 4 magic groups that you can only carry 1 for each, your starting wand which recharges, spells, staffs and an alchemical weapon. Progress in Ziggurat is 5 levels to go through with unlocks tied to score so regardless if you win or die, you'll eventually unlock every perk, character and weapon in the game for the random table to choose from. Another thing to note is that theres multiple endings depending on difficulty and how thorough you go through so if you find the portal key and go straight to the boss then you'll end up with a worse ending.

Speaking of bosses, while IR had scripted bosses, Ziggurat has random bosses which honestly seem more like souped up big versions of the regular enemies that usually tend to spawn in those regular enemies during the battle. The exception is the end boss Cephaus who is the same in every run. You can choose from several characters to start a run with, each having different stats and starting perks such as a vampire that loses health slowly but gains it back from enemies, a cleric who has healing abilities and can't get divine punishment from offering to gods but more enemies spawn for them and etc.

Rooms in Immortal Redneck had some verticality so you do need to platform at times to get to enemies while Ziggurats rooms are mostly flat. Another to note is that each level has a hidden room with a free perk inside that you can find by looking for a cracked wall. Once you notice how all the rooms are layed out in a level, it become trivial to know where to look. Just know that all the rooms are connected via a grid and any spot where a door is likely to be placed will likely have a cracked wall. During your run you'll need to grab knowledge stones dropped from enemies in order to level up so you can select a perk but since they can despawn, you'll often need to run in and grab them during combat.

I liked Ziggurat enough for the variety in the perks and weapons you can get even while the levels are all rather samey. Theres a sequel already out that I should one day try out to see what they've done for that. Another game worth checking out when its on sale.

Thank you for reading this, feel free to leave feedback and game suggestions. Anons are currently on.
