![]() ![]() It’s a rather unambitious and frankly rather uninteresting direction for the story and he spends much of the story just traveling through forests or caves, the game featuring fewer levels than the game that preceded it as well. Shrek 2: Beg for Mercy! is primarily a story about how Puss in Boots travels to meet Shrek after getting hired to kill him, deviating briefly to try and find a weapon for the task, and later after switching sides to help the friendly ogre and his pal Donkey he is mislead into believing that the two died and goes off on a small quest for revenge before things can reset to Puss being where he is in the film. Shrek 2: Beg for Mercy! does seem like it would be a chance to flesh out the history of Puss in Boots, but rather than having the player actually experience his fairy tale origin, it is quickly recapped in the opening cutscene and the game instead takes an odd approach of having it mostly pad out the moments seen in the film. ![]() Despite reused ideas though, this could have been the perfect chance to flesh out the skills of the character who was already the most satisfying to play as in that little ensemble puzzle platformer, but while there was a clear shift towards more fighting action here, there were quite a few odd choices in how it decided to structure this follow-up. Made years before the charismatic cat would realize his headlining potential in a film from Dreamworks he was made the lead in the GBA title Shrek 2: Beg for Mercy!, although his first time in the spotlight clearly borrows a lot from the game it’s technically a sequel to. It appears I wasn’t the only one who thought Shrek 2 on the Game Boy Advance significantly improved after the introduction of Puss in Boots, as a year later the developer Vicarious Visions would take the feline sword-fighter and give him a starring role in a game of his own. ![]()
