Proto:Shrek SuperSlam (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Windows)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Shrek SuperSlam (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Windows).

A demo build of the PS2 version was released on Official UK PlayStation 2 Magazine Demo Disc 66 in December 2005, a month after the game's release. Despite this, the demo has a striking number of differences from the released game.

To do: Screenshots instead of a video.
