Shrek Forever After on Wii

Shrek Forever After Screen Shots

Shrek Forever After is a Platforming game available on the Wii. It can be played in Singleplayer Cooperative Sharedscreen modes.

Shrek Forever After is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Shrek Forever After can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Shrek Forever After can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

Shrek Forever After can be played in a Sharedscreen mode. Shared Screen Multiplayer games create a multiplayer experience where players all share the same screen space. Rather than splitting the screen into portions for each player the game scales to fit each player in view even when they are a long way apart. Football and fighting games often take this approach as the shared view doesn't impede the players ability to take part in the action.

Family Gamer review Wed, 14 Jul 2010

Shrek Forever After Wii is the last platform romp from the final Shrek movie. A good combination of combat and puzzling means that the family can work together to guide Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss in Boots across an alternate dimension. Impressive four player co-op means that everyone can get play at the same time and save Far Far Away for one last time.

Following the same storyline as the film, Shrek Forever After allows you to take control of Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss-in-Boots. Each character has a special ability that makes the game play different each time you play it. It also means that subsequent play-throughs in co-op mode is much more entertaining.
