- Somebody once told me all Shrek games are baloney
A thought that really made me quite sad.
The film was kind of fun back in two-thousand-and-one
And there’s no way all the games could be that bad.
Well, Philip started playing and he couldn’t stop playing.
He wrote a whole script and now he wants paying.
Didn’t make sense why they made this junk,
My brain got confused by how much they stunk.
So much to play, so much to hate,
Why’d we think a ranked list could be great?
Why’d we decide to rank the games
From the worst ones to the good… ones?
Here is Every Shrek Game Ranked from Worst to Best.

Had a full blown Freakdown that Shrek 2 wasn't higher on the list.
Yup I freaking loved that game and came on the list to see it
Same tbh, though it may be that I had fond memories as a child going 2-player with my mum on it. No, it wasn't difficult or long but it had an alright level of replayability and simple mindless fun.
Me to. Played that shit ton during the Playstation 2 era. Even discovered a bunch of glitches on my own like being able to get down to street level during the rooftop mission of the final level with the giant gingerbread man. Even revisited the game a long while back with a friend who played it as well on another system and nearly 100% the game. It was a good meme shitshow mess.
Literally came to the video to see what it was rated 😂
its honetly the best game from my childhood besides the Zelda games id play on my brothers game cube I played it all the time only complaint was the jumping to get the potion from the fairy godmothers potion factory i cried and complained and my sister always did that level for me I absolutely was obsessed with that game to the point id try to play a ton of it everyday i never got bored i absolutely loved playing as the giant gingerbread man
The Shrek 2 game is underrated, very fun co-op game!
I played it on the OG Xbox
Ikr
I love that game, it is a decent movie tie-in game. Getting upgrades for each character, and having a fair sized roster of characters to play as through the campaign.
Actually, the Shrek 2 game isn't *"underrated"* at all. In fact, it's considered the best shrek game of all time in my area so it's more or less the other way around.
I still have it on ps2 and still play it to this day.
"Shrek loves to read!"
he literally ripped the pages from the book to wipe his ass with it.
He did! 🤣
But the "ha! Like that's ever going to happen!" Implies he actually read the book before wiping his ass.
I mean, he did read them first...
Lmao
I mean, I don't blame him
It looks like he doesn't have any toilet paper except for a book
I remember Shrek 2 on consoles actually being pretty decent and not that bad
It is i think they did it dirty
This guy just likes to complain
One of the best movie games ever made if you ask me
@@Bulletproofbouchy
I mean, it's Shrek game dude, what were you expecting? A GoW 2018 tier narrative driven journey about growth and redemption? A Kojima-esque love letter with philosophical depth about the nature of humanity?
@@utopian4769 no, i mean its underated, and was ranjed to low on the list, its not anything special butnita better then most the other games
That monologue about life and time was a hard listen, wasn't expecting a existential crisis caused by a Shrek ranked list..
I loved it
From what better source should one expect an existential crisis-fueling monologue?🤔
yeah, Shrek tends to do that to people...
It was brilliant.
Yeah, that part about wishing you were older and then spending the rest of time wishing you were younger hit pretty hard.
"How many children does Shrek have? I'm going to say hundreds of millions"
Ah, yes, the great conqueror, Shrenghis Khan
With his brave buddy Donkeyxote at his side to defend him from all windmills, of course.
This comment gave me a much-needed chuckle
As funny as that is, he only has three. Donkey has more kids than him. ;)
@@AlmightyPolarBear Wow, you must be really fun at parties.
@@lukaspatrickson4776 Especially when I bring my big, dragon wife with me to the parties.
44:05 I had Shrek 2 back in the day I use to play it every day and I still have tons of nostalgia for it like struggling really badly on the Puss N Boots boss fight or kicking Chickens to be boiled alive in a piping hot pot for little red riding hood.
Omg yess, i remember 6 yo me and my parents struggled for days to defeat puss in boots.
Thats was actually one of my very first games.
Yesss my siblings and I had one memory card with a save past the puss in boots level and treated it like the holy grail
My uncoordinated ass could never beat Puss 😭😭
Ikr I re played the game after many years but I'm stuck in Puss n boots fight, idk if it's a glitch or I don't know how to play lol
Shrek 2 was really amazing lol most of the hero times were super fun and I loved every level that had little red riding hood she was my favourite! It was also hilarious that Pixie showed up for 1 level lol
We do not stand for Shrek Forever After slander, it was an amazing conclusion to the Shrek trilogy and a great third installment
Agree! It is the perfect closure for one of the best animated DreamWorks trilogies
Oh plus that weird fanfic made by an edgy 12 year old
It was a nice ending but I feel that the same ending could be accomplished if Shrek went on vacation alone
Anyone that wants to keep on disregarding Shrek the Third don’t even deserve to be taken seriously at all.😒
No. it misunderstood Shrek's character and made him overly bitter and even immature. Then they reverted his character back to his post-Shrek the Third self. Forever After truly meant nothing, because it didn't acknowledge Shrek's personal development and just re-did The Third's epilogue.
Well that's a long list. I wasn't expecting that there are so many Shrek games.
A bit of a fun fact, Shrek Super Slam’s inspiration was actually Power Stone on Dreamcast, there were quite a few licensed games in the late 90s and early 2000s that took inspiration from that game specifically such as TMNT Mutant Melee, the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy fighting game and Tom & Jerry Fists of Furry, and Shrek Super Slam was among them.
Lets not forget Playstation All Stars. Trying to shove Power Stone into a Smash Bros style game
I can't wait to watch this and have a FREAKDOWN at how you rank these games
This is going to _possibly_ sound backhanded as fuck, but I've actually been using the playlist of these "Ranked" videos as a sleep aid alongside a white noise machine, turning off my phone screen and letting the audio play on low volume next to my head. Ben and Peter's cadence and vocal tone are so nice through these long videos that they just lull me off to sleep (after _properly watching_ all of the videos the first time, of course!).
Seriously though these ranked videos are my favorite series on this channel and I always look forward to new ones! The boys of Triple Jump Towers never fail to make me laugh. 😊
I'm going to try this
I do similar thing almost every night ^^
@@SumoCurtain ditto. Tbh putting this on for the sleeps before I've actually had the chance to watch it but I'm low on time to pick carefully tonight so it was the first one I saw lol
Me too!
I actually always do this for WGE. I've seen all of the episodes at least once (in some cases significantly more) and it fits the bill perfectly for hilarity while also lulling me to sleep.
My older sister and I played the hell out of Shrek 2 on PS2. I just recently bought a new copy of it, and just realized how awful the AI is in that game. Still better than a lot of licensed games.
Still better than Tales of arise ai.
Is the AI better or worse than FNaF Security Breach ai?
I had it for GameCube. So much fun!
@@Schnort I don’t remember it being that bad.
I swear to god, seeing these games in action is causing me to have a nervous freakdown.
I'm actually surprised with how low Shrek Forever After (360, Wii, PC) and Shrek 2 (PC) ranked on this list. They're two of my favorites. Shrek 2 even has a small modding community!
Shrek Smash n Crash Racing and Shrek 2 were so good, played them all the time throughout my childhood
Yesss my mom had rented smash n crash racing from family video to try and my siblings and I loved it so much we bought it off them
played shrek smash n crash racing constant with a friend when we were like 6 till 8 years.
I am convinced with relative certainty that this video constitutes both the first, and last times, anyone will ever compare a Shrek game to Brothers: Tale of Two Sons
Shrek 3 was one of the few childhood games that I played. I recently Revisited it, and while not being nearly as good as I remember, was still pretty fun.
Ogre bowler is what I call my grandma’s new boyfriend. The sounds of them getting their freakdown together are unforgettable.
The guy/woman who wrote that segment about life really deserves a raise.
I've seen that segment multiple times now, and I adore how it ends connecting all of that with Shrek
Man I love your writers!
Shrek super slam is a certified hood classic. Shrek 2 was also nice.
this is facts
I must not have been paying attention, but wow, Shrek was really prominent during the 2000s (the last Shrek games came out in 2011, unless I missed something). There were about as many Shrek games in the 2000s as Megaman games.
"What once was as consistent as Shrek became as consistent as Shrek." -Scott the Woz, probably
Everyone talks about the Mega Man drought of the 2010s but nobody talks about the Shrek drought
The monologue that starts at 13:40 is THE Greatest thing I've had the pleasure of listening to in a very very long time.
Fun Fact: Shrek: Hassle At The Castle and Reekin Havoc were actually developed by TOSE. The creators of the Starfy franchise.
And scarlet nexus!
Completely agree with all of these except Shrek 2, that game is so underrated, definitely top 3 material but i loved the video 🔥
I’ve been waiting for this. Hopefully this puts my newborn to sleep!!! Have a good day everybody!
My bf put this on and I was thinking "oh no baby's gonna have a hard time sleeping!" But the talking is good, I just gotta turn it down to a more ambient level 😂
@@AllenaRae the right sound level is key!
Dada?
Shrek Superslam is a masterpiece you can never change my mind about that
Shrek 2 was one of my favorite Coop games i ever played, but if i have to choose one it would be Super Slam.
13:40 I was not expecting an existential crisis while watching a video about Shrek games. Time to go cry myself to sleep
Shrek Super Party is kinda nostalgic for me, I used to play it all the time when I was little.
I go into watching this list with trepidation and fascinated horror....btw LOVE the lyrics you created for this-top notch!
never thought I'd find Zelda music plagiarized in a crappy edutainment Shrek game
Does any one ever wonder where the assets are for random objects in animated moviesthese days? Like are they just deleted? Or is shreks ear wax candle model on a hard drive somewhere still to this day.
That's so close to an idea I had for a game, but with NPCs. Maybe we should brainstorm together? XD
If you didnt play shrek super party with your brother or a couple of friends back in the day. You wouldnt get it. We loved that game. It had a feeling to it. Like in the shrek movie when they go to the castle and its empty or when they are walking in the empty field. It had a liminal space feel and a soundtrack to fit. Idk why but that game was weird, and hit different as a child
I worked on Ogres & Dronkeys (the firefly minigame, to be precise) and I agree that's it's not the best game. I think I completed all the tasks in the game in about three hours.
@@Gatorade69 I was a contractor to them. I wrote a lot of Mighty Flip Champs, a bit of Duck Amuck, and some other stuff for the DS.
I love finding comments on videos from people who worked on the game or show being discussed.
"Wow, I didn't expect anyone to still be talking about this." and "It's not really my best work, but hey, I was trying to paid." are some of the most humanizing things I've read about videogames.
@@starspeculation Well, I always try to do my best, but I am only one programmer among many, and one doesn't get to pick their projects. It usually comes down to time. All projects have deadlines, and you can't really change the design if the resulting product is less than you wish it to be. I was on another project where the publisher decreed that we change the design of a game halfway through. The result was a much worse game than it should have been.
Most developers, regardless of what license they're working with, are trying to put out a decent product. You can have the most talented team in the world, but time and money are always limiting factors.
Wayforward has always consisted of very talented people, and it was an honor to work with them.
I had Fairy Tale Freakdown as a kid, and I always remember thinking to myself, “Wow this game kind of sucks...” but just kept playing it cause that’s just what you did as a kid. Glad my younger self was correct in his assessment of the game.
Shrek 2 PC 2004 was one of my favourite games. I finished it like a thousand times.
Shrek Smash N' Crash Racing is a real classic, I can't be the only one that played it growing up. The levels and music, unlockable characters, etc. Back when there were actually some half-decent licensed games.
God, my brother and I absolutely overplayed Shrek 2 on the xbox, like it was a tradition for us to sit down after Sunday lunch and run the game from start to finish. Now I wouldn't say we were speedrun level but we had that game down to a nice few hours. It had its problems but definitely remains as my favourite Shrek game no contest
Maaaaaate me and my bro do this once a year too…… ITS HEROOOOOO TIMEEEE
8:45 he also reads Fionas diary in Shrek 2 I believe
Not the deepest material iirc, I remember her childhood writing style being a bit repetitive.
I still own Shrek 2 on the PS2 and remember playing it with friends and have memories of the last few levels being like dark souls before there was dark souls haha.
The level in the mines with the mutant frogs and the final fight with the godmother 💀
@@BexTheBoo388 Ikr that was like playing Elden Ring 😬
Can we talk about the fact that the 3D model of Shrek used in Swamp Fun is noticeably chunkier than other 3D Shreks? Someone had to render that triple chin and beer belly combo and that very thought upsets me.
You guys are always so entertaining, thanks for all the laughs
Shrek Super Party has a special place in my heart. I remember playing it at 4 years old and having the time of my life. Donkeys character color was purple, and it is the reason purple is my favorite color.
This certainly is a freakdown of a list
Did not expect a Shrek ranked list to get so deep @13:39
That intro song was the greatest way you could have started this video 🤣
Thanks for crediting our footage
I had that Shrek Forever After v-smile game years ago. I can’t remember anything about it but I think I enjoyed it.
I also had Puss In Boots on the Wii and I beat it an hour and felt bored the whole way through
Great list! I would love to see you guys tackle every Pac-Man Game or Godzilla Game!
I would love to see those lists
Shrek Superslam is a genuinely good game and surprisingly well balanced.
Shrek the third on the DS actually used to bang, I remember being stuck off school with food poisoning as a kid and finishing it
That soundtrack still rings in my head from time to time... Was looking forward to you tearing it a new one but I'm glad you rate it as well as I did (for a Shrek game)
I got Shrek 2 for the PC as a Christmas Present in 2nd or 3rd Grade and loved every minute of it back then
My nostalgia really thought that game would at least be a top 10 if not 5 entry
It hella should've been higher, I even played it recently and it was not "slippery" but rather fast, so beating stuff as fast as possible was insanely good
@@MediumSmoke it's always nice to hear when childhood games didn't age as poorly as you thought they would
I' mad that Shrek the 3rd is not higher up on the list, I spend an INSANE amount of time in that game as a kid. Not only is it very fun, but the plotline was actúally better and had more content that the movie that its based on, heck the cutscenes where killer. I loved the different characters and many of the bosses where genuenly hard to defeat.
I also love all the customisation features and the great minigames it had, like, it has mario party level minigames, y remember literally spending whole afternoons with my friends conpeting on those because it was genuenly very fun
Me, I played the hell out of Shrek the third
I also think its not fair, the carrer mode was ok, but the minigames were just AWEASOME
It's finally here!!! I've been hyped for this
17:50 Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time, you activated hidden memories in my head. Also, great list
Great to see Shrek Superslam getting the love it deserves. Hella underrated game that I still play on occasions. Surprised it wasn't backwards compatible for the Xbox 360 back then.
This deserves likes for the intro alone
Thanks for the reccomendations. Can't wait to start working my way through all of these! :D
Loved the intro to this one LOL
Okay but hear me out: Shrek Forever After (the movie) is actually really really decent.
The intro was probably the funniest thing I've seen from this channel 😂

Thank you for putting the lyrics in the description for some inexplicable reason.
We Still play the GameCube Shrek 2 on my Wii till this very day it's fun don't see how it's not #1 on the list
the affirmation of Shrek Super Slam being number 1 on this list after being featured on Worst Games Ever is bloody lovely!
I know it wasn’t an amazing game, but it was actually very fun to play! There are many parts that were objectively stupid, but the large roster of characters, unique stage levels, and tons of challenges and unlock-able accolades made it a ps2 game i found myself going back to again and again.
Also, great list guys! Surely this is the video that pushed you all to 200K subscribers 💕
I remeber playing at least 4 games shrek games and this video brought those games back in my mind amazing video.
That intro was enough for me to subscribe
When can we expect a full version of that intro song?
Your version of "All Star" was better than it had any right to be
If you get the chance, kook up "It's the edge of the world as we know it" for Ben singing about invisible walls in games.
@@Banquet42 Oh I'm well familiar, and equally love that rendition. They have some quality writers for sure. Glad they're given the opportunity to flourish now. These boys deserve it
I really enjoy these videos, even if the subject matter consists of games I'll probably never play for reasons.
This is insanely impressive content. You're so funny, witty, and thorough! It's so hard to find gaming videos that aren't guys just yelling at their screen and misspeaking every word they say 🤢 thank you sir 🙏
Because of the lack of Multi-player clips from the Shrek 2 segment, I take it you didn't actually play it multi-player. 4 player co op was a blast and I actually continue to play the game every year or two with family and friends.
Didn't expect a shrek vid to give me existential dread AS WELL as a panic attack but hey it's a new experience I guess
I’m so happy to see the comments backing up Shrek 2. It’s a fun game especially with a group of friends. I had it for the GameCube. It’d be cool to have more games like it, especially having different characters be needed to complete different things so if you’re playing with a group everyone gets involved to be the hero. (Hero Time!)
The ones I’ve played were Shrek Super Party for the PS2 which I think is also a decent party game (if you have a 4 player adapter), Shrek 2 for the game boy advanced which I enjoyed when I was little (funny enough I had played lost Vikings on the SNES before it), and this video reminded me I had the bad game boy color game at the very beginning. I remember those animations and I was really bad at it.
I was impressed with the opening parody song. Nice work 👏
That intro was heavenly.
Oh yeah! Here we go! SHREK TIME!!! I've never played a Shrek game before. But I have seen Shrek. So I'm going to give this everything I've got!
Ohmygod that rendition of the song at the beginning was fabulous
how could I have lived until now without this list? omg
I actually played Shrek Forever After on the Wii growing up. And sure, it's a pretty bad game by yourself, but it's OK with friends because at least you are all suffering together
17:07 Yeh, this is just Elite Beat Agents gone bad- never mind, it's Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck gone bad.
Thank you so much for that song
Okay that intro is amazing
You madmen, you did it...you really did it! Number 27 fills me with existental dread.
I remember playing Shreck 2 as kid, very fun times! ☺️
This is a good way to start my Saturday, thanks lads 💚
I’ve been waiting for this vídeo for all my life. Thank you team Triple Jump.
You guys can take any list and make it very enjoyable. Would honestly like to see a worst to best of triple jumps worst to best
@@jiali5957 Ben's release games series and worst games ever are definitely the rare highlights of the channel these days.
Yeah no we're gonna need a full version of the song now.
Who do I have to talk to about getting a full song release of Shrek All Star at the beginning
This channel deserves way more subscribers
I had Shrek 2 on GBA as a young lad and really enjoyed it, I found it stupidly tough but I found every game stupidly tough at that point. From seeing the other games here, it seems that for that to be the only Shrek game I’ve played, I had it pretty lucky.
Yeah, I remember fighting the FGM at the end the most, not sure why that's my most vivid memory of it.
I'll vouch for Puss in Boots for Xbox 360 Kinect. It's legitimately fun. You probably won't play through it twice, but it's definitely worth a play once.
He has a great movie and a decent show too.
I didn't expect to have an existential crisis from a Shrek game ranking list but here we are
Shrek 2 beg for mercy was probably my first game boy game. One of the best games ever as a child . Started my infatuation with the franchise.
Shrek Super Party being almost in the top 10 really tells it all, doesn't it?
Shrek Superslam will clearly be number one.
I do remember playing the Shrek Cart IOS game as a kid and I remember having a good time with it. One time I found away to play the game while replacing the in-game music with any songs that were on my phone. I do recall racing through the castle from Shrek 1 while listening to Duel of the Fates.
We all been waiting for this!
