SuperSlam's fight arenas and mechanics seem to be influenced by both the Power Stone and Super Smash Bros. Completionists will be required to play through this mode to unlock additional characters and fighting arenas that can then be utilized in the other modes.
The Mega Challenges are decidedly shallow in design and each has run its course in a couple minutes or less, but they are nevertheless engaging while they last. In another, the goal might simply be to perform more slams on enemies than they do gamers. For instance, in one, Puss and Boots might need to keep an object away from an opponent for 45 seconds. There are some 45 Mega Challenges to go through and they are for the most part fairly original in what they ask players to do. In this mode, players move Shrek around a virtual game board and compete in various mini-games and conventional fights. The single player mode can be whipped through in about 20 minutes, but luckily the title also features unique and sometimes entertaining Mega Challenges to extend the experience for individual gamers. There were numerous times when we smiled or chuckled during the progression of the short single-player game, which is a testament to the presentation. Activision and Shaba Games have not used the original celebrity talent to provide voices for their in-game characters, but impressionists convincingly get the job done.
These tales comprise the setups for a batch of fights to follow. Shrek and pals decide to make up bedtime stories to lull them to sleep. Through well implemented in-game cut-scenes we learn that Donkey has invited his friends over to watch some television, but that his little Dronkeys (dragon donkeys) just won't go to sleep. The offering even comes complete with a humorous storyline that successfully capitalizes on the traits of such beloved Shrek characters as Donkey, Puss in Boots, Princess Fiona, Gingerbread Man, Prince Charming and Pinocchio. SuperSlam is of course designed to be at its best with multiple gamers (whether or not it actually is, we believe, is something open to debate), but it boasts a short, but well-crafted single-player mode all the same.
