Shrek is a 2001 platform video game developed by Sandbox Studios and published by TDK Mediactive for the Xbox, based on the 2001 film Shrek. The game was released on November 15, 2001 as one of 22 North American launch titles for the Xbox and March 28, 2002 in Europe. Shrek received generally unfavorable reviews upon release, with criticism being directed at its gameplay and audio. Despite this, it was a commercial success.

"Try to use your fart intelligently" are truly words to live by.
The true legacy of that random dude who made a rather incomplete guide of a very bad Shrek game. He clearly wasnt cut out to be a gamer, but he was a modern philosofer in the making. We may never hear his wise words ever again, but what he taught us will live on forever (though this Shrek video).
*very good Shrek game
The way Shrek moves in this game makes it look like this is actually some random other platformer that had a Shrek model hastily modded in as a meme lol
@slycooperrocks5826
Genuine question, are you serious? Because Dice Canada is a legitimate game developer and every single part of the game is geared towards Shrek. Even the environments are at least vaguely Shrek, in a "idk man this works as a level for this franchise" kind of way.
@slycooperrocks5826 It does look like they made all the assets first, and then figured the game out after. But the way shrek moves is probably because he's playing on an emulator (I'd be very surprised if the xbox has a number of the issues in the video) and the Prince Charming thing is because Shrek 2 wasn't out yet
@@CCCe33 Shrek moves exactly the same way on the Xbox. However, it doesn't have all the see-through wall glitches.
With lots of older games the speed is tied to frame rate, so there's a good chance it's meant to be played at 30 fps and you're doubling shrek's immeasurable power at 60 fps. I highly recommend setting the videos playback speed at 50%, it makes everything about the game look and sound almost normal, but turns Kevin into a blathering drunk. Additional bonus, the video will last almost an hour and a half!
oh yeah, the game's definitely playing x2 it's original speed. unintentionally hilarious!
Hearing a drunken Kevin say "You look like a child, but you're gonna die anyway" was the highlight of my day, so thanks for this.
Oh my god you're right. It probably would've been so much easier if it was at the proper speed.
Hilarious.
Makes it hysterical when you're stoned lol
You, my sir, are a real genius! Now I'm suspecting Kevin of recording the video drunk and uploading it with 2x speed.
It’s almost like the developers didn’t know what a Shrek was.
Ikr? People aren’t talking enough about how little this garbage has to do with Shrek besides him being the playable character.
The developers probably just had a bunch of assets from an unreleased fairy tale themed game and slapped Shrek and a fart mechanic in the middle of it all.
@@mrviking2mcall212are you insinuating they didn’t build this game around the fart mechanic?
@@maus8737 Sorry, I guess I haven’t been using my farts intelligently.
I mean considering they had a different art design before Chris Farley passed it’s possible they used some of its previous assets
I remember the Shrek DVD having a section that was like 'hints for the Xbox Game' and iirc, the hints had zero to do with the game itself (no button directions, just random questions with pictures) I _think_ i recall a youtuber talking about that and finding out something like, the game was changed during production? something where the hints were meant for the game originally, but ended up being useless.
Between Shrek and Hagrid, I'm starting to think that Kevin just has a thing for burly men that live in the woods.
I think Kevin can easily relate to Shrek and Hagrid, as he himself is a burly, strikingly handsome man who lives in the woods !
@@redunderscore you forgot he closely relates to Shrek as he has a deep passion for farting on people to stun them

I mean, who DOESN'T??
It warms my heart so much to see you playing my favorite childhood game. I was a Shrek fan through and through when it first came out and have so many fond memories of the Mother Goose level in particular (I don't think I ever got past it.) Then I lost my copy when we moved, which was truly devastating and even is to this day. At least I still have my copy for the GameCube. It has different levels and a slightly different storyline, though.
UPDATE: I found my original copy of Shrek for the Xbox. My sister had it in her old video game collection. Miracles can happen.
Congrats on finding this gem my man, i can refer you to a good lawyer if you plan on playing it
Does it run this strangely on console? I was wondering if Kevin was having emulation issues or if it runs this odd natively
@@christopherbucher7017
As a heads up, this ended up with about 8 different tangents in it so if you're not interested, the answer I've heard and seems most likely is that they locked the game-speed to the frame rate and he's playing it faster than the original console. Back to our regularly scheduled programming:
I could be wrong but I remember reading a comment where someone theorized that on original hardware it was frame locked to 30fps, but kevin is playing at 60fps. While most modern PC and console games handle varying frame timings fine, a lot of older games aren't quite as graceful about it since the load on the system was generally a lot more consistent, not to mention well-optimized. When you have so little performance to work with even a lazy developer can't keep their job without putting in the work to optimize their games and get used to making optimizations even while phoning it in. You'd be shocked just how much compute is wasted with modern websites, apps, games, etc. There is a video by Molly Rocket called Clean Code, Horrible Performance where he basically shows that by following the 'best practices' of modern programming you can be losing *_decades_* worth of hardware development. That's likely not a perfectly representative case, but yeah, as a rule of thumb it's kind of insane how un-optimized modern things are. (*most modern things, a lot of open source software is actually remarkably lean. Not at theoretical maximum, but still really bloody good. The same hardware that idles on cold-boot at 5-10% CPU on windows can idle below 1% CPU with applications open on Linux. In fact, even with ~200 tabs, discord, steam, a few file manager windows, etc. I'm *_currently_* at 1%, and I ain't exactly running suckless)
If it was locked at 30fps then they programmed the game to work at 30fps and may not have (likely didn't) add delta-time logic. In other words, they programmed Shrek to move 1/6 feet per frame instead of 5 feet per second, at 30fps that math works out, at 60 Shrek is explaining that in order to understand what he's about to tell you, you need to believe in the impossible. This is also likely why the jumps and other controls were so wonky as well, since everything from gravity to inital jump acceleration, turning speed, etc. would *_all_* likely be sped up. (For a bit more of a delve into delta-time MattKC has a video fixing a similar turn-speed bug in Lego Island where basically the same thing is happening.)
@@robonator2945 that makes sense! Thanks for the information. I think he had a similar issue with the PC version of Spider-Man 2000. The movement was tied to frame rate there as well and resulted in a lot of scripted actions breaking.
@christopherbucher7017
In the same thread the other guy saw the FPS comment people who played it on console said it was legitimately this chaotic. One guy said it was slower but IDK I'm gonna go with the majority personally.
Other people also mentioned that if it was tied to framerate then other stuff would likely be messed up as well, not _only_ Shrek's movement, but the rest of the game seems to be running at the correct speed. The walkthrough also talks about how hard it is, especially to jump.
I would presume this is a simple case of no playtesting.
I’ve lost my sanity after several years of watching Kevin's videos
Sanity? Whats that?
none of us were truly sane if we decided to watch the beautiful kevin o’reilly
That's Kevin's supper power he drains you of your sanity but it's instant and all of this is a fever dream.... wake up samurai
I've gained sanity by watching his videos because I feel much more normal compared to this loony Englishman
Wow. It's been having a reverse effect on me. More sane by the day with Kevin.
"Try to use your fart intelligently" is just me with an upset stomach at work
I scrolled past this and had a whiplash-like moment where I immediately scrolled back up
I know this comment is a year old but it made me laugh out loud 😂
A genuine way to say how not to shit your pants.
Only kevin could go from making a MW 2 video to making a shrek video and there both still 🔥🔥

My favorite line in this game was "There's a leak here" absolutely The funniest stuff I have ever heard, it Lia the peak of comedy, nothing could top it.
There's no way the developers intended for this game to be this damn fast. I cannot imagine why this would ever be the goal.
Yeah, it's probably his emulator.
it's likely meant to run at 30fps, but is running at 60. happens to older games.
Its because its an xbox emulator, none of them are very good, not yet anyway but I doubt they ever will be
@@ArmundJay is that like how in fallout 4, burst fire guns rpm is based on fps
ive played the game on original hardware, shrek is also just way too fast i think on it... at least, on the gamecube release it was a mess
3:55 I find it hilarious that the boy that wrote this guide is probably about in his mid thirties, and that eventually he will find this video and beam at Kevin and get to know that he made a difference in the world.
I don’t think I’ve heard Kevin this frustrated since that bartender simulator that told him he got the wrong type of ice.
Yeah, I thought it harkened back to that too
Or when he was reacting to King of Nerds and he actually slipped up and said "fuck" instead of "feck"
Personally I think back fondly on Babe the Video Game for the PS2
yeah or remember that one tractor game he just could not get to work.
"THEY'RE ALL THE FECKIN *SAAAAME!* "
Whoever did the sound editing for the final boss deserves an award. Letting The World Revolving play in the background while Shrevin just runs in circles fits so well.
Also... CHAOS CHAOS!
Yes!! Made me so happy when i noticed it too!
Me inspecting Kevin’s mental state: “looks like we got a leak over here”
Kevin: "I don't want this game to be my legacy"
Kevin's creepypasta: Excuuuse me
Really enjoying these long plays Kev, I hope it’s not too taxing on you though! Always appreciate your content and hope you’ve been doing well!

I think he's sussed it out so that he has basically an assembly line. This is how I'd think it would go. Person 1 chooses the game and locates a working version of it, then Kevin plays the game and records his audio and/or visuals, then he sends that off to one of 4-5 editors who make about 1 video each a week, just over. Then they get reviewed and posted.
This means Kevin probably doesn't make as much as he would be if he did it himself, but he's got himself set up where he can chill and basically just play 3-4H of videogames a day and just makes heaps off of it. He's got quite a few midrolls (mid vid adds) and UA-camrs also make $$ from watchtime so the 1h videos are making him way more than 6 10min videos. So I think he's done it really nicely where he just basically makes $$ off his personality and doesn't have to do much (though it would be quite exhausting still) which is great.
@@maxbracegirdle9990 I really hope so. Videos like this are the WORST to record
@@gsaucegaming6635 Oh hell yeah. Talking to UA-camrs, editing is the worst. For a 20 minute video you're looking at 12-15 hours of editing, which is just insane.
It's the side of UA-cam people don't see, they see kids recording a 20minute video and making a bunch of money for it and think that all they do is record the video, but they don't think about scripting, pacing, lighting, directing, and then editing.
Then God forbid you miss something and your video gets demonetized or claimed. That's like a week of solid work down the toilet, unless you can fix it. And then you've got the anxiety of basically not knowing what your next paycheck is gonna be, then the pressure of having a massive fan base who looks at you as something higher than a normal human. It must be crazy, I couldn't do it.
@@maxbracegirdle9990 I haven't been able to make gaming videos in a while but I definitely don't miss editing for 8 hours only for the file to get corrupted the SECOND I drag the file into youtube

"You're so dumb when you put butter on bread you put it on the wrong side" is genuinely one of the best insults I have ever heard
Kevin’s entire psyche slowly breaking down and then finally collapsing is just too funny.
A 40+ minute video of Kevin struggling with a Shrek game? Sign me up, lol.
Honestly the beginning with Kevin suing in Judge Judy's courtroom is just iconic
40 minute Shrek video, I didn't realise how much I needed this
wait wtf this was 40 minutes? I watched the whole thing without noticing...
@@samuelguzman9143 I did the same thing the other day when he made the 2 hour COD video 😂
love kev playing these old ass licensed games. REALLY wanna see him playin the ps2 shrek 2 game that had the little red riding hood inexplicably being part of your party and throwing poisonous apples around. And fiona had the za warudo stand
I swear I can actively feel my brain slowly oozing out of my left ear as I watch Kevin playing the game...
Looks like we got a leak over here
* puts up caution ⚠️ wet sign*
Kevin will be hearing "Drop me please" and "water trickles down" in his sleep
I am loving these long form videos Kevin has been uploading lately, 30 + minute Kevin videos is all I need in my life
Same, i actually got very exited to see this in my sub feed, 40 mins of a weird shrek game, perfect
Love the long videos
maybe not all you need. you would still need food, water, clothing, heat etc etc.
@@skittstheturtle I think Kevin's videos provide enough sustenance to cover food and water at least. I guess I can't clothe myself with them though.
I've been thinking about making a playlist of kevin videos that go over 30 minutes, just for myself, so I'm really happy that when I do it it'll have a lot of content~
I like how most of the voice clips sound like placeholder clips that they ended up using anyways. Plus this was clearly made before the movie and they were only told "there's shrek" and "there's fairy tale stuff" and made it up as they went along
i don't think i've heard kevin so desperately frustrated for so long in a while, if ever. this is the kind of game that made me think i didn't like video games growing up
I used to play this on the gamecube. These sounds of the burping and players and the map thing bring me back to my life’s earliest memories of around 20 years ago. It’s hard to comprehend how fast time has flown especially when you spend your life having fun.. via video games.
Also, i just learned that the gamecube version is an altered storyline with different levels. It was reworked for the gamecube and called “Shrek: Extra Large” and was released on the gamecube in 2002. My mind is blown at learning this. No wonder i recognize the sounds and characters but don’t recognize any of these levels lol
“Is it gas time? Yeah it’s gas time.” Another masterpiece in the chronicle of Kevin
drop me, please is going with float like a bee sting like a bee
"is it gas time?" "Yeah it's gas time"

@@cardboardking577 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Kevin, I have completed this game back during the Gamecube era. I too spent more time belching and punching people than playing the objectives.
My parents got me this game for Christmas instead of Pokemon. I quit during the tutorial because I thought the game was unplayable so hats off to you and I hope you have a speedy recovery after enduring this
Just watching this drove me insane, I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to actually play it! This is why Kevin is the best UA-camr, he stops at nothing to entertain us…
Fun fact, Todd McFarlene (the man who made Spawn and Venom) did character designs for this game. I'm not kidding.
Also, according to the credits, this game was developed in "10 Lucky Months", which I feel like explains a lot.
This game was torture when I was a kid but I’m such a completionist that I always went back for more 😂 thank you for playing it and sharing in the trauma - this video was so nostalgic!!
Scykoh and Callmekevin, the cross-over I never expected lmao
the comment i was searching for :D
I felt the same way when he kept referring to Big Joel's essay about Shark Tale in another video
The crossover we all needed
@@anaionescu8913 Same! Big Joel is great and good.
I thought he retired tbh
"Drop me, please" so calm it's funny
Props to the editors and Kevin to give us those bangers longer videos. They helped me relax after work.
28:06 yep your absolutely right Kevin: A little bit of a leak herrrrrre
This game looks like a nightmare. Thank you Kevin for sacrificing your sanity for our enjoyment. And for our own loss of sanity.
Edit: 'The World Revolving' in the background of the final boss really makes how insane this game is making everyone by sheer exposure.
Pure Chaos
According to 3:56, even at the end of the game, Kevin is still considered a "newbie" as he is still "looking for hearts in a panic" and "humored by burps" 😂
I feel bad for Kevin because he played this game, but I REALLY feel bad for his editor having to watch the uncut version of him spamming the gas buttons CONSTANTLY.
The final nail in the overwhelmingly well-nailed coffin of Kevin's sanity.
This is the Shrek I remember playing; it's like a fever dream made manifest. These voicelines had been seared into my poor brain and hearing them again is returning me to my 10 year old frightened self
“Take this, booger-face!”
I’ve never heard Kevin sound so genuinely broken as this haha 28:52
I love the return of the skits, and the shopping stream gavel making an appearance 😂
I had also always wondered what Shrek and the gang got up to between the first and second movies. I still don't know but it was a shrektastic video nonetheless.
There's also a short film called Shrek 3D that takes place between the first and second movie about Shrek and Fionas honeymoon. It's also a fever dream and worth the 30ish minute wat h
I remember playing the GameCube port of this game (Shrek Extra Large), which was slightly better. Also, if you fell out of bounds, you'd find yourself in a room that looked like the inside of a GameCube. Also also, Todd McFarland made characters for this game.
MIGHT be my first youtube comment ever, but wanted to say all your extra effort in your videos is noticeable AND appreciated Kevo. You're hands down a quality creator and entertainer sir. These longer videos are fantastic.
This feels like a game that the developer had already put work into and then reskinned a couple items for when they got the order for a Shrek game.
I'm really really liking these 30+ minute long videos lately. Must be a B to edit all this but I think it's getting the appreciation it deserves.
looks at Kevin's sanity. "A little bit of a leak here"
Scykoh was not someone I was expected to ever see on this channel in any capacity but seeing him show up here was a pleasant surprise!
Really digging these longer playthroughs, you sound a lot more involved in what's going on on-screen which makes it a lot more fun too, hope you're enjoying doing it this way too 👍!
I love the memories of nostalgia that Kevin is doing with this series it makes me feel happy to see others knowing how gaming was in 2000s and before.
Thank you Kevin ❤️
P.s *Belch*
At first I thought I had already watched Kevin play this game, only to find out that I actually watched scykoh's gameplay, and Kevin using his video as a guide near the end brings me joy :)
Scykoh is one of my favourite content creators and seeing him get some love is always great!
This is absolutely amazing. This was the first game I ever played on my gamecube when I was like 6 years old. I still come back to this game from time to time just to be stupid (especially in Mother Goose Land) However it is different than this version: real story progression, less glitchy, better graphics, more levels etc. This feels like a beta version of the gamecube version honestly and it's hard to picture this as being a real released game in comparison to the one I grew up with. Seeing Kevin getting stuck in some of the same places I did as a kid just made my day.
In the Crown Prince's Castle you can get yourself out the window where you free the prisoners by bouncing off the walls. In the GC version it dropped you in a secret room where you were inside of your console. I'd love to know if that's possible in the xbox version. I would highly recommend going through this game again on the game cube if you can for a far better experience. I have completed that version several times with twice the content. Finding all hidden eggs and fairies is tricky but not impossible.
It pains me though that you also did not get stuck looking for the fire pit in the tutorial. MEET ME IN THE FIRE PIT is something my family still shouts to each other 20 years later.
Ah yes, a glorious 42 minutes of Kevin playing a game that also ruined my childhood sanity. Fantastic, thanks, Kevin!
27:00 when Kevin is talking about the voices the subtitles say, "this voice is Jesus." Lmao. That's gold.
I absolutely love the longer videos.
I watch them while doing something else too, like having dinner or playing video games myself, and it feels like having a friend 😅
I love not only the long videos, but I especially love the skit done for this one and the twist of him and the judge being the same 😂 had me laughing so hard. I love when Kevin gets creative like this :) /gen
Kevin's playing 42 minutes of Shrek this is amazing I don't know if I could ask for anymore he's been spoiling us with all the long plays!
Kevin, starting out, sarcastically: "I can't wait for a few hours from now, when I master jumping in this game"
Kevin, a few hours later, sincerely: "I'm getting so good at parkour, I'm thinking about making a mlg compilation video of my best moves"
Day *717* of asking Kevin to ACTUALLY revisit the Bee Movie Game

Loving the long format videos lately. You're one of the very select few people I can watch day in and day out without needing a break from your content, even find myself rewatching your older videos constantly. Wishing good tidings to you and yours for many years to come.
The idea that I can watch Kevin playing for almost an hour is awesome❤ keep up with these long form videos, I love watching them after a long day of work.
This is so nostalgic! This and the Harry Potter games were my childhood.

Really loving the longer videos, Kevin. Thanks for taking the time to do them
i have like this deep seated memory of playing this (or possibly as psp version) in my elementary schools after school program. like it must have been a holiday or end of quarter thing bc they let us play video games and watch pokémon late into the night lmao
I remember playing this game as a kid and Humpty Dumpty absolutely terrified me for some reason. I know I never beat the game but your play through brought back so many memories!
"For some reason" it's ok you can just say it's because he's french
Who knew it would be Shrek that drove Kevin mad.
Finally someone heard my prayers. I spent so many sleepless nights, hoping Kevin would sprinkle some hot Shrek content on us again. And now, here we are. I can sleep in peace again.
This game looks like a torture method, but Shrek is zooming like mad, so that's nice.
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. My bunny passed away almost three months ago, and I’m still terribly grieving. But your videos were the first thing to make me laugh and try to be happy again, even for a little while. I really appreciate everything you do. 💖

@@Danimeows Thank you for your kindness. I’m sorry for your loss as well. I’m glad you were able to find some happiness through his videos, too.
Oh my god. This video has unlocked a core childhood memory: this was literally my first videogame. It was the only game my uncle would let me play on his Xbox, that he kept in his room, which i was hardly ever in. So i probably played it a total of twice for like an hour. And for a 5-6 year old, it was, agreeably, hard as shit. It made me think I was just young, and maybe as an adult I would be smarter and better at life so i would udnerstand how to play videogames the right way. And the unrelatedness to the movie completely blindsided me, and I've only thought my memories of this game were like a fever dream or something ever since. But oh my god. It's real. This feels horrible. Why have you done this to me Kevin
I really like this combination of longplay and your short comedic skits. Nice work, Kevin!
We need a Brendan Fraser game just like this based on the hit movie series The Mummy.
this game is the worst kind of fever dream but im here for it. thank you kevin for the longer videos recently 🙏
