And sweet God this game is an atrocity. Besides being a cheap merchandise title, this game is ugly to look at. The mechanics don't work very well and the whole thing feels incredibly outdated. Now I get to the Game Boy Advance is pretty much just a Nintendo system with slightly better Hardware.
But come on. The graphics somehow look worse than the original game despite the fact that they're using the same engine*.
My God just talk about ugly. The faces are all hideous the Little Go-carts look disgusting. And the color palette is just sickly. Maybe it is a faithful Recreation of Shrek. You ever gone back and looked at that film. It's not a very pretty things to watch. Everything looks so Bland and uninteresting and there's this horrible green tinge all over the place. It's as if somebody took the matrix filter in stuck in retail.
Who had the idea to make this? This certainly can't be anybody's dream. It's just a cash in, but I don't even understand that completely. Did anybody think this would sell? Just look at the freaking thing.
So it's based off of a popular franchise, nobody's going to buy your trash when they know that there's something better that's easily accessible. Unless were talking about those transforming robots who turn into automobiles. You can put those stupid idiots and anything and people just keep buying it. Or Shrek movies.
but did anybody ever invest in anything outside of the Shrek films? I don't remember seeing any Shrek plushies out there. Now if this was a Minion's go card game.
That would probably sell, people love those strange looking yellow monstrosity. Or maybe everything I just said is absolute crap.
None of this matters. Nobody's ever going to buy this game, just about nobody ever played it. And the only reason I'm talking about it now is because of a one-off reference made by ''Guru Larry'' about the soundtrack. That reminds me the soundtrack.
It sounds as if they gave a five-year-old child a synthesizer machine and said; ''push every button you can think of and just have a bit of fun with it. We'll come back in 5 minutes and stick that in the audio track.''
Then there's the music in the middle of the game that has absolutely no Rhyme or Rhythm to it and is literally just the recreation of earlier tracks from the same game. I think they just change the pitch a little bit. But then we come to the last song.
It sounds as if somebody took one of those horrible plastic recorders then shoved it inside a floppy disk drive praying to God that whatever sound it could get would be enough to create one more audio track for the world's least interesting game.
*So it turns out it's not the exact same engine. This Shrek game is based upon a Mario Kart re-creation of the original Mario Kart that was then ported to the Gameboy Advance. And I looked at that game. The graphics are far superior, not only to thee original Mario Kart but Mario Kart 64. So now there's absolutely no excuse for why this Shrek game is such an atrocity.
I think the worst thing about all this is that it reminded me that I have in my possession the Mario Kart Recreation for the Gameboy Advance. I could have been playing that but here I am wasting my time on a Shrek game.
okay so I stated above that the engine is based off of a new version of Mario Kart made specifically for the Gameboy Advance. But you can't reverse your card in this game. Which is the exact same problem you have in the original Mario Kart. So I'm beginning to think this game is actually based off the original engine after all.
