The game presents a very brief outline of the movie's story and chooses to take a few liberties with events and locals (as one would expect). It's up to Shrek to find a happy ending for his bride. However, due to Shrek's ogre-ish nature, a family fights ensues. Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey set out on a journey to visit the in-laws in Far, Far Away Land.

The jolly green giant Shrek has had a rather turbulent videogame career. The game introduces new environments, characters, and story twists that help expand on the movie and bring the enchanted land of Far Far Away to life. Players will guide Shrek, Donkey, and an assortment of Far Far Away residents as they complete a number of objectives to set things right again.

Once Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their honeymoon, they are surprised to find a note from Fiona's parents inviting them to visit their home in Far Far Away. Unlike the console versions of the title, being developed by Luxoflux, this KnowWonder Digital Mediaworks-designed PC adventure is aimed at a slightly younger audience and features different levels from its console counterparts. The green ogre is back, this time in a 3D platform game inspired by the 2004 computer animated film starring the voices of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy.
