Ī port of Extra Large for the PlayStation 2 was planned for release in 2003, but was cancelled due to TDK Mediactive being acquired by Take-Two Interactive later that year, as a result losing the rights for Shrek games. On February 6, 2001, the next-generation console was announced to be Xbox, development duties would go towards Sandbox Studios, and the game would use character and object models from the original movie. On December 20, 2000, TDK Mediactive signed a five-year deal with DreamWorks to produce video games based on the Shrek license the plan upon signing was to release a Game Boy title coinciding with the film's release and issue another game for 'a next generation platform' in the fourth quarter of 2001.

The Magic Mirror gives Shrek a Book of Good Deeds and offers to teleport him to places where Good Deeds are required. The fog and Merlin's Fortress can be passed through the completion of Good Deeds. Shrek must travel to Merlin's Dark Tower Fortress of Pure Evil, but an impassable fog has been laid across the Fairy Tale Lands. Shrek is delivered a message by the infamous Magic Mirror that his wife Princess Fiona has been captured by an evil wizard, Merlin. Not many objectives vary from this, though a few will occasionally vary.įollowing a completely different narrative than that of the eponymous film which it is based on, Shrek is meant to be a 'continuation' of the story of the film, taking place after the title character has set out to regain his swamp and become a ''de facto' hero' to the fairy tale creatures.

In most objectives, the player hunts for an object and completes an action. The player completes objectives named 'Good Deeds'.
