About this product
Product Information
Set shortly after the events of the film, Shrek's Xbox debut sees the friendly green ogre on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona from the clutches of the wizard Merlin. A 3D platformer, Shrek poses a variety of tasks for the player to complete, taking him across the fairy tale world to such far flung places as Mother Goose Valley and The Creepy Crypt. <br><br>With a handful of basic abilities at his disposal, not the least of which is his flammable flatulence, Shrek must perform tasks ranging from retrieving particular items to performing trivial timed exercises to defeating certain characters. The point to this seemingly nonsensical quest is to complete our hero's book of good deeds. By performing the requisite number of good deeds, the evil fog surrounding the tower in which the princess is captured will dissipate, allowing Shrek, in true storybook fashion, to rescue her.<br><br>Throughout the adventure, Shrek's varied abilities will come in handy. His burp, while harmless most of the time, turns into a lethal flamethrower after he consumes a chili power-up. Collecting onions will increase his gas level, allowing him to, well, pass gas as it were. Doing so near a flammable object will result in a powerful explosion. He also possesses formidable kicking and punching abilities. The high-quality visuals and recognizable characters will no doubt appeal to a younger audience or die-hard fans of the movie upon which the game is loosely based.Product Identifiers

This one is good, but the GameCube version is better.
I owned "Shrek Extra Large" for the GameCube and finished it 100% numerous times as a child. I thought that version of this game was fair with the level of difficulty and actually gave us a better idea of what the story was with cut-scenes included in the levels. The Xbox version does not include cut-scenes aside from the one at the beginning featuring the magic mirror giving us an introduction to Merlin, which is exclusive to the Xbox version. The GameCube version also had the enchanted forest level and and the snow-top level, while this version for the Xbox does not have those levels. The GameCube version has 10 levels and the Xbox version has 8. I would also like to mention that the molasses sewers levels are vastly different in design between the two versions. The majority of the missions in the game are different between the two versions. In this version for the Xbox, you get booted out of a level when you complete one mission, and you can complete 25/37 of the available missions and gain access to the final level in the game, making 11 missions optional for completing the main story. The GameCube version makes you complete 4 mandatory missions in each level to progress, the fairy and Easter egg missions are optional, but will increase your health meter if you complete them. There is no way to increase your health in the Xbox version aside from cheating. There are cheats in both versions. The GameCube version makes you complete story mode to access the cheat menu, while the Xbox version makes you complete missions in race mode. The missions in story mode and race mode are the same, aside from the fact that your on a timer in race mode. There is no race mode in the GameCube version. Cheats are mostly for your amusement, because the game doesn't validate any missions you complete with any cheats on. Your deemed a cheater and don't get medals if you do use cheats, making you beat the game fair and square. There are more cheats in the Xbox version than in the GameCube version, which can be the selling point for the Xbox version, because you can change textures in the levels (ex. make everything look like plastic) or change the speed of everything in the level, (ex. make Shrek run in slow motion). The GameCube version has only basic cheats like infinite health or infinite fire breath. Now we get the frustrating part about the Xbox version, the lack fairness. Some levels don't have platforms where there should be platforms, and the final level makes you go out of your way to find hearts to regenerate your health, plus you have to carry a TNT barrel to bust open doors. This wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to go to the beginning of the level to get the TNT barrel. Fire enemies are a pain to get passed while carrying this thing, because it will explode if it touches fire. Also, this game is really difficult to 100%, because of strict time limits in race mode, especially on the final level (shudders). The GameCube version has more platforms in levels. It also has more health available in the last level, plus you get dragon's breath and a large onion for more powerful explosions equivalent TNT barrel's explosions, which is a huge help. Seeing how the Xbox version came out in 2001 as a launch title, I can mostly forgive its faults. The GameCube version came out in late 2002, which gave the developers more time to fix the problems with the Xbox version. In summary, Xbox version pros: more cheats for amusement. Xbox version cons: not as many levels, more frustrating moments, does not go into great detail about the story. GameCube version Pros: more levels, less frustrating moments, goes more into detail about the story. GameCube version Cons: less cheats for amusement. Fun fact, in both versions, you can use cheats to go out of bounds in a few of the levels. If you do go out of bounds, you land in a chicken laboratory for the Xbox version, and you land inside of a GameCube for the GameCube version. However, you cannot escape, forcing you to reset or power off. One more note, both games have absolutely nothing to do with the story of the movie. This doesn't matter to me, but it may matter to people expecting this game to follow the movie. Donkey maybe on the cover for the GameCube version, but I can assure you he isn't in the game at all.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
