2 in 1 Game Pack: Shark Tale/Shrek 2 (Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2005)

Product Specs

Description

This package contains two previously released Game Boy Advance games, based on two DreamWorks animated films: DreamWorks' Shark Tale and Shrek 2. DreamWorks' Shark Tale tells the tale of two misfits -- a kind-hearted shark and a fast-talking fish -- who swim into trouble together when each tries to be something he is not. Players take the role of Oscar, the charming, colorful "hustler fish," who works at the local Whale Wash and spends a lot of his free time trying to live up to his own boasts. Oscar can show he's got room to talk, however, through a selection of mini-games that have him exploring the city, collecting items, and engaging opponents in occasional fin-to-fin fighting. The game features three battery save slots, allowing multiple players to each save their place in the adventure. The GBA version of DreamWorks' A Shark Tale is aimed at a wide audience and may be more suitable for the youngest gamers than its console counterparts Shrek 2 is a platform-hopping adventure that encourages teamwork among a small squad of onscreen characters. Players control Shrek and up to three of his companions as they side-scroll through levels based on locations in the feature film sequel Shrek 2. Different obstacles require the abilities of different characters to overcome them, so players must switch between their chosen team members as each situation requires. Shrek is strong enough to move objects that others can not, for example, while Donkey is able to kick open doors and Fiona can slow down time for easier attacks. The game also features characters and areas not seen in the film, offering fans new fairy tale people to meet and lands to explore.
