Play Shrek 2 - Beg for Mercy (E)(Rising Sun) Online

Shrek 2: Beg for Mercy came out on Game Boy Advance in 2004, developed by Vicarious Visions and published by THQ. It was one of those licensed games that showed up everywhere during the GBA's heyday, often tucked into backpacks or played on road trips. The game loosely follows the plot of the second Shrek film, but it carves its own path with a mix of action and platforming that feels right at home on the handheld.

You control Shrek for most of the game, smashing through enemies with basic attacks and occasionally switching to other characters like Donkey or Puss in Boots for specific sections. The main goal is to fight your way through linear levels, rescue Fiona, and stop Prince Charming's plans. Signature mechanics include screen by screen exploration, simple combat with a sword or other character specific moves, and collecting "Ogre Power" tokens to unlock extras. The pacing is brisk, though some sections can feel repetitive, and the difficulty is manageable but not without a few frustrating jumps or enemy patterns. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes silly brawler that doesn't take itself too seriously.
