Inside Mac Games has posted a review of Shrek 2. Here's a clip from the review:

Most of the gameplay involved is demonstrated in the first level, which doubles as a tutorial. You have an attack button which will smash boxes, break down barriers, and most importantly, lay enemies flat. Pressing the button twice, or three times, will elicit different combos for extra damage.

Your other abilities include jumping and, depending on the character you play, climbing. Further spice is added in the form of potions you can buy throughout the game at various points using gold coins that you collect along the way. These potions can do anything from provide you with extra strength (massive clawed gloves in the case of Puss in Boots) to turning all your enemies into frogs. While diverting, an opportunity was missed in making it necessary to use the right potions in certain situations, and instead they are simply left there as a novelty. Albeit a fun one.
