Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown (GBC) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

Hey, hey, do you have any idea what an ogre can do to you? They will make you a suit with your freshly peeled skin. Shake your liver. Squeeze the jelly out of your eyes. Oh no, she's reciting lines from Shrek. Remember that the movie Shrek came out in 2001. It nowhere became this big monster hit, it even won an Oscar for best anime movie, but was it really that good? Well, I think I should watch it again. The movie was a sort of Disney parody. He mocked the way they simplified the public domain.

shrek

just entered the national film registry it's now as culturally important as the original dracula's space odyssey 2001 saving private ryan and citizen kane there's just one problem I asked him for one copy to the Library of Congress and they sent me To me, this weird version that's for the Game Boy Advance, which also came with Shark Tale, how convenient is your tax money at work, yeah, there's this weird period in history of gaming where you can get movies or TV shows to play on your portable gaming console.

In fact, I have a couple of movies made for the Sony PSP. Here we have Starship Troopers, amazing and the not amazing Black Dawn, starring Steven Seagal, why do I have this? I have to be honest, I'd rather not watch Shrek on a small Game Boy. advanced screen I want to watch it on my TV, so luckily I have the Game Boy Player for Gamecube. The Game Boy Player is basically a souped-up super Game Boy, but it can play Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games. your gamecube and if I have to say game one more damn time I'm going to go crazy hmm I just realized that the whole thing about playing Game Boy on your TV skipped the Nintendo 64.

I mean, there was the Wide Boy 64 but no was released. To the audience, that thing is almost as wide as Shrek's butt. First you grab your gamecube by the bag handle, then you place the player in the large port at the bottom and then you have to screw it down. You think that would be it, but no, you too. I need the Game Boy Player disc without it. You remember how easy the Super Game Boy was. All you do, you take the cartridge, you put it in the Super Game Boy and then you put it in your Super Nintendo and boom, you're playing. power, but good luck not losing this little disk, okay, so here's the Shrek movie on Game Boy Advance on Gamecube plus Sharkdale, hell is this.

I did everything right, just let me watch Shrek. Damn, it turns out the Game Boy player can. I didn't play these kind of movie packs, I guess Nintendo was afraid that people would capture the movie footage and use it to sell pirates, yes, sell low resolution pixelated movie pirates, so what am I going to do now ? Well, since I'm in a shrek mood. I guess I'll see what games I have while looking for this game. Remember when I said Shrek was a clever parody of Disney? Well, Shrek quickly became a parody of itself by also having a ton of sequels, spin-offs, theme park attractions. toys and of course video games, well here we go for Game Boy Color, the

fairy

tale

of Shrek, Freak Down, what is a Freak Down?

I guess it's ripping off the term Smackdown, which makes sense since it looks like a wrestling game and came out during WWF's Attitude Era, plus it's appropriate since there was a wrestling scene in the movie, so I freaked out. first thing you should do is choose a language, well, hmm, let's see American or English, I mean, what difference does it make? Its going to change? The Game Boy Color spelling below greets you with a pixelated Shrek putting some poor guy in a headlock with a terrifying grin on his face. I'm going to crush your head like a grip, okay, let's get started and holy that donkey look.

Like ass that ass looks like ass I guess I'll choose Shrek, let's get ready to rumble in the jungle, I mean the forest, oh god, what the hell is wrong with Shrek's face? Wait, I thought this was wrestling, there are no grappling pins. referee or even a ring, this is just a run-of-the-mill tournament wrestler, and what's worse, the controls aren't responsive at all, the combos just don't register. Luckily the big bad wolf is just a big bad and easy to take down, just leave him, kick him until he dies and I like watching Shrek dance while the wolf crumbles to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Then you fight Pinocchio in a village. Pinocchio is real, he can not only throw objects but he can also use his erection. nose to hit you from further away oh great, now I'm dead Shrek just farted, yes he did, it's not like he was punched out of the fart, he fell down, stiffened and then farted, he which means he died, I mean, as his muscles relaxed his sphincter loosened and the fecal matter leaked out so this was his death ah shrek died and he had a death if you manage to beat that pinocchio puppet you move to the dungeon to fight the riddle oh no it's just the gingerbread man on candy cane stilts, well now he's there looking

angry

.

I'd be mad too if he got vaporized by a clearly constipated shrek. Here the next one is the swamp where we have a mirror fight like in mortal kombat, it's shrek in shrek carnage. I have to fight myself and honestly, one of the biggest enemies to overcome in your life is yourself, so this game is quite poetic. You know, mirror matches show me how cool it can be to play Shrek, like you can actually perform his special moves. fire and projectile vomit all over the screen, shame these controls are so bad. I would love to do a ha puken after I commit suicide, I go to the wrestling ring, finally, now it's a wrestling game, no, you just fight the executioner inside a wrestling game.

The ring set looks fake in the movie, the wrestling ring scene wasn't a real ring, it was a horse stable, so the programmers didn't watch the movie anyway, the executioner dies and walks around, for last you head to the hall of mirrors to easily beat lord or whatever his name is and that's it, that's the whole game, no story, no ending, no nothing, just a screen that says champion and then you are sent back to replay the game as other horrible characters you've unlocked. I tried a few of them too but it didn't make much difference after finishing the game once there is no reason to go back to zero replay value you know what this game is and the Game Boy movie and the Gamecube player what sea ​​and Shark Tale since you are in that plastic with which this game was made and the movie Shrek is overrated.

I don't know why the Con Grass library has to have that. What is the playing time? Oh dear, hey wait, I love Shrek, yes, yes, you have a friend in me. yeah you got a friend oh that was Toy Story hit his life shrek is the life well that was dumb luck uh oh come on come on I'm almost away from these personality building shrek fans in shrek, ah, runner, shrek, okay. Shrek is love, Shrek is life, in fact, he's our special guest ready for the ritual, yes, he's sure my booger now, if you'll excuse me, I have some creepy Shrek erotica to write, that's the spirit, but no Now, the ceremony is about to begin. start what's wrong you call that dancing oh oh this shrek smashes his mouth and excellent

nerd

trick but the game is an ogre leave it with the shrek puns already and finish the game what game the player leader played see we sent you that one Game Boy movie no, I got it out of the library of congress everything according to plan shrek's disciples have reached the highest level of government how else would we have gotten shrek into the library of congress so you were testing me Don't you see we're testing everyone by testing your loyalty to our overlord a test you've failed this is the part where they sacrifice you you're going to kill me because I don't like Shrek it's a shitty movie 20 years ago you guys are crazy I don't believe in all this, well let me turn you into a believing

nerd

, why what are you thinking?

Oh, in God's name, what are you thinking?
