I'm a bit confused, were there two games named "Shrek 2" back in the day? The one I remember playing is this: https://youtu.be/cL5zBFPUZxc and clearly the remaster is not based on that.

    This kind of thing happened back in the day, where ports would often basically be different games. This PC version was developed by KnowWonder.

    If you want another, contemporaneous, example of a PC version being way different from the console version being way different from the portable version, check out SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom's three versions.

    A similar though happened back in the day with the Jurassic Park tie in video games. The Sega Genesis version was a side scrolling platformer, while the SNES version was a doom type with some isometric perspective sections. I remember liking the Sega one way more because you could play as the raptor

    wikipedia says:

    Two versions of the game were released for the PC; one developed by KnowWonder for younger audiences using Unreal Engine 2, and the other a port of the original console release under the title Shrek 2: Team Action which was developed by Beenox.
