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.

This game is totally inappropriate

We bought this game knowing Shrek movies are a bit raunchy, but thinking the game would be ok for a 6 year old to play.After watching my son play this game for a few minutes... I saw that he had to stun chickens and put them in a pot of boiling water while they were still alive. Then after that, he punched large turtles and threw them on tables where there backs were cracked open and died. I can't believe a game that is rated E for Everyone would have little kids (or whoever played it) have to be so mean to animals. What's next, ripping the head off a rabbit? I consider myself one of the coolest moms around, but this totally crossed the line.

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!

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

Boring

Painfully slow PS2 graphics and really lame characters. All four players move together and its a pain to figure out which one has what power.

Boring!

MY 6 year old and I think this game is boring. It's hard to move around and after trying for 1/2 hour, we gave up. There are so many other games that are much more fun.

Now I know the true meaning of "DIRE"

This game is horrible

This is not an rpg...it's Just left over scraps from other rpg's

You should only get this game to punish your children

Cons: Every time you die you Atomaticly Come back, There's no Chalange. It's hecktic with four players, if you only do one player and the rest are computers they just lag behind. (you might as well use a rock for a player)

And This game has tons of glitches (the first level)

Pros: It's very quik (so you don't have to sufer The Boredom)

Ratchet deadlocked

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!!!!!!!!!!!
