While the console games are somewhat longer (about 10-12 hours) and involve more strategy and hand-eye coordination, the PC incarnation remains simple while adding more humor aimed squarely at adults that will presumably play this with their children. It helps that the Shrek brand is instantly familiar to most people, and even though the major actors from the movie arenâ€™t doing the voice-overs, itâ€™s difficult to tell, at least initially. However, for the younger crowd, there are plenty of interesting environments and lots of things to do. In fact, for most adults, or even those around 13 and older, this is a very short game and can be completed in a matter of hours. You control Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, Puss in Boots, and Gingerbread Man through various environments involving simple puzzles and even simpler combat.

You play as only one character at a time, and unlike most movie tie-in games, Shrek 2 is actually an entertaining little game, especially for the younger crowd. Unlike the console games, itâ€™s designed with keyboard and mouse control in mind. Shrek 2 for the PC, though, is completely different from the console games, and was developed using the Unreal engine of all things. When a game ships for all platforms and then the PC, you can usually expect shovelware designed to lure purchasers based on brand recognition.
