At any rate, youll find yourself starting out at Shreks humble abode in a small room with all the utensils you need to take care of the babies. Perhaps the first thing I should mention is that despite there being a selection of 8 different children, (3 ogres and 5 dronkeys) there is no noticeable difference between the characters in either the gameplay or visuals. As the player you are given the role of babysitting two of the young ogres or dronkeys.

Make no mistake, Shrek: Ogres and Dronkeys is a cash-in title of the worst kind. As a player who actually enjoyed Nintendogs, I have no prejudice against the genre, but this game captures everything stereotypically negative about this type of title and somehow squeezes it into a single Nintendo DS game card. Despite overwhelming commercial success they prove to be a point of contention among gamers as a love or hate affair. While it may be a paradox in itself, the name refers to simulation titles that dont fit the mould of what would be classed as your typical game the likes of Nintendogs, Animal Crossing and The Sims are all included under this banner. Shrek: Ogres and Dronkeys falls into an ever-growing genre in todays gaming market that of the non-game.
