This game is fun.The graphics are amazing and it is based actually from the movie! The controls are very easy and you can play as 4 different characters at the same time! Honestly i already beat the game 4 times. It is very realistic!

ONLY ONE WEEK!

My 8 year old son was able to beat this game with minimal playing time in less than a week. And the game was annoying, save your money and rent this one!

Prepare for disapointment, Shrek fans.

This is soooooooooooooo god awful. I have seen both movies. The first was really bad. The second fixed thing and was completely awesome with the ending song revealing to be Antonio Banderas (Puss in Boots) and Eddie Murphy (Donkey) singing the very cool song 'Livin la vida Loca'. When I heard about a game, I was excited. I expected an action platformer where you take control of any character from the movie via character select and travel across places from the movie with next-gen graphics and movie voice overs, bosses from the movie and a huge finale. Double jumps, square 3x combos and speedy swordfighting was definetly going to the game. I thought this would be a perfect movie counterpart. But when I got it, I was quite disapointed. Only THREE of the bosses were from the movie (Puss in Boots, Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother) while other were just something the creators invented while their afternoon trip to the bathroom, the graphics are far from next-gen and do not even compare to the movie. Platforming what? Almost side-scrolling, baraly retro non-action with clumsy fighting and no double jumps. But what about the movie voiceovers? Nope. Not a single voice actor from the movie was there. Sadly: The talented James Arnold Taylor that was the voice of Ratchet in Going Commando in Up Your Arsenal has wasted his time in speaking for the hand of *cough, cough* The Gingerbread Man or for those who actually have brain call it: "Yum, yum". And does this make a great counterpart for the movie? NO!!! But what about movie locations? Sure some of them are there but they are lazily recreated and overly crappy. It's also even shorter than the movie.

Graphics 0- Basically PSone stuff.
Sound 0- Might have been popular in the SEGA Game Gear era.
Gameplay 2.5- Frutration of the century.
Replay Value 3.5- Nope, none of that there.
Overall 0- QUICK!!! YOU MUST HIDE SOMEWHERE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Final Verdict: Just rent it. Or just simply play it. Or better yet: Simply don't come close to it at all.

Better way to spend money: Spread it around the world, launch yourself to outer space then blow up the world.

Don't Waste Your Money

Don't waste your money on this, it's more entertaining spreading the money you would've spent on this game around on the living room floor and lighting it on fire. This game was beaten in a few hours (read: under four) and it has zero replayability unless you suffer from severe memory loss. Another typical crappy game trying to cash in on a hit movie.

this game sucks!

how would you like to do the same thing over and over again?
this game is so short that a it would be over by the time a jet went through a state.how would you like to be the same players over and over again?It doesn't even stay close to the movie!
It seems like the guy who produced this video game was thinking of the idea to his grandmother's house! Overall it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

If I close my eyes, maybe it will be gone

This game stinks. In fact, it stinks so much, that it's the most stinking kind of stinkiness crammed into a stinky game. In 2 words: IT STINKS!!! This game is one of the many in the magical RPG-land. This unfortunatley is NOT magical. However, there is one "magical" thing about it: IT STINKS SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! However... it IS an RPG and RPGs are enjoyable. but this isn't. The stat point "system" is shallow and completely and entirely useless, swithcing between characters soon gets dull, every character is practically the same and all of the missions are repetitive and basically are about roaming around a non-free-roaming world and brainlessly bashing around enemies and completing rubbish minigames (Throwing chickens in a pot anyone? No?) with turd controls, or should I say "controlls?", eh? Let's just be happy it isn't turn-based. That would have totally screwed it over, though it already IS!

The graphics are somewhat of a disappointment would somebody else say but not me! I am about to deliver a critical hit to the game in every element of it (Critical hit. Critic? Dangerous... dangerous critic. Geddit?). Graphic-wise, this game sucks. It sucks so much that when you thought it couldn't suck anymore it does. Shrek is fat, ugly and looks reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaally sharp. It looks like they took a shot from Shrek 2 (THE MOVIE, that also sucks but not as much as this steaming pile of cack), put it into PhotoShop, decreased the cuality a LOT and sharpened Shrek so much he was barely visible. The locaitions look dull and boring, effects are anything but shiny (Buy Sonic Heroes for uber shiny effects) and the characters look crappy and lifeless. The graphics look more like a GameBoy game rendered in 3D (Reeeeeeeeaaaaaaally bad. I've seen one. I still have nightmares about it) than true PS2 graphics. Lifeless, dull and boring then? Also it is colorless (Is that a word?) and almost a grayscale game. Much like GameBoy (The ORIGINAL one) then.

Sound? I don't hear sound... I hear the devil laughing in the bowels of hell, yealling "GOTCHA!!!" at the victims of this monstousity. Not a SINGLE of the movie's cast even bothered to cast for the game. They probably saw a clip from it and passed out, while the makers (CURSE YOU ALL!!!) hired a bunch of nobodys to cast their voices for the lifeless characters.

The gamplay is in a word and four letters: C-R-A-P!!! The boss battles are a bunch of wannabes that want to stand a chance against the other boss battles (Sonic Heroes anyone?). For example, take Puss in Boots for example. More than a button bashing test than a battle. He is EASY to defeat. This is what you do:
X, X, X, X, X, O, O, O, O, ,O ,O, O, XO, XO, XO, XOO,
YOU WIN! Congratulation. You know the basic forms on you DualShock II Controller for The Sony PlayStation2 Console Entertainment System. Erm, yay? Also, the game is pretty shallow. You can make it through the whole game without a single upgrade. Also, tje game is so easy that it isn't believable. But the last boss was a shock. It is really hard. Perhaps, your brain is overcooled by the easiness of previous levels that you can't even defeat the second boss of Sonic Heroes (Took me 8 seconds. Really). But your brain must already be dead because YOU are the one stupid enough to buy this thing. It doesn't even qualify for a game.

Final verdict: 1/10
Horrible, crappy, lifeless, dull and boring nonsense that NOBODY should EVER play. Listen to my words: Do-not-by-this-game! NONONONONONONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Never ever. If this review has made you curious, then rent the game. Or just trust me and don't buy it. A big NONO!!! Everyone that gave it a good review is stupid. It should be rated "M" for Morons. Not suitable for anyone with an IQ above 5. No buy, no die, goodbye. Hey, that rymed.

I HATE THIS GAME!

Fun to play, but my 10 year old beat it in 4 hours total play time. Hardly worth the money.

Rent, don't buy

Simply put, this is a fun game. It's not complex, and if you're an experienced gamer it's very short, but if you're looking for a break from other, longer games, this is a good one to pick up. The levels are varied and creative, the character switching adds a nice twist, and the visuals are very nice. Having said that, you're better off renting this for the weekend, because it's very short, and not the sort of game you'll want to replay over and over again.
