Fun, funny!!! Takes a little while to get the quirky humor, but by level 3 you are hooked. A must have for every Xbox collection!!!!! You have never seen graphics like this.

Halo, Transworld Surf, Shrek and DOA3 - the 4 top on my list.

Two Thumbs Down for Shrek the game.

Hello Shrek Fans. I won't lie, the Shrek game was terrible. I loved the movie, I know every line, but the game hardly lived up to the movie's level of greatness. It had a boring and stupid concept and characters who didn't appear in the movie such as Merlin and Humpty Dumpty were in the game for some weird reason. It was the first game I received for the Xbox and I find myself playing my brother's games until a substitute for such an awful game can be found. The movie was fab, the game was drab. Two thumbs down for Shrek the game. Thanks for reading and I hope this helped you make a decision.

CAN YOU SAY ADDICTING???

When I first played the game, I had the same idea as some of the other reviewers ... "This is lame." However, because I bought this for my kid, I was forced to play it. Well, I am totally addicted to it. It is both challenging and frustrating, and I consider myself pretty darn adept at these games. The graphics are beautiful and the controls are well thought out. Yes, you will use every button in this game! I'll tell you one thing, if you want to get real good at using the XBOX controller, then this is the game to practice on.

Shrek is really great!!

My kid loves this game and I cannot believe the graphics. This is computer gaming on the TV. I will be buying lots of these games. Buy the X-Box!!

Had great potential, but lacks anything worth playing

I was very excited for this game. I LOVED the movie. I usually enjoy (when they are good) these "types" of games (as in types, i've heard its along the lines of Mario 64, which I absolutely loved). Well, on release day, i got my XBOX home and tried it out. I was first amazed at the graphics. very smooth and crisp, and then i started actually playing the game, and in about 20 min, i took it out and have already sold it on ebay. the gameplay is AWFUL. it is HIGHLY redundant. walk across the level, pick up an egg, walk back across the level, drop it in a basket. repeat 5 times. that is how all the puzzles seem to be. it might be an ok game for a young kid (around 5?) but overall its a very boring and worthless game.

Don't waste your money!

If your fortunate enough to own an X-box, I warn you NOT to throw away your money on a game like this. The graphics are quite nice, even stunning at times, but the gameplay is hideous! The tasks of the game simply involve puching eggs and farting on various items. On some levels you have to so awkwardly jump from platform to platform, its extreamly frusterating, and you'll swear you cheated your way up there. Also, none of the "bad guys" ever die. They simply lay stunned for a few seconds, then spring up for some more incessent attacks! Very annoying. Unfortunetly, it is also really boring. The game became a chore after the first 15 minuites of needless egg-punching. So, if your still determined to get the game, RENT IT, instead, and you'll see what I'm talking about. C'mon after fighting your way (and emptying your wallet) to get this beautifal X-box, use it for something worth playing!!

I'll start with the bottom line. I just got back from Target where I demanded my money back for this game. Thank God they took care of me.

Parents! This is not a game for young children it's marked T for teenage. Keep that in mind. Also no adult could really like this either. So I am not sure who this was designed for.

In the 3rd level the Witches, skeletons, coffens, spiders, and demonic dark overtones was way too much for me. What the heck did that have to do with Shrek the movie?

Level 1 and 2 had promise but fell short in comparison with other games these days.

Belching and Farting are his weapons. I am not sure if this is just goofy fun or another way to teach our kids how to be pigs.

For the most part this game is simply stupid. The graphics are fair, sound is poor, and the game play is boring.

I think the Shrek movie theme had real promise but the programers and writers ruined it.

If the "tales of the crypt" section had not been there... it could have been good.

However,... this does not even compare with the other games such as halo, bloodwake, and dead or alive3. All which were design for Adults.

So far the xbox system has some great capabilities but is very limited in "kid appropriate" games.

Shrek could have filled the niche but in my book it just comes up a big LOSER.

I don't understand this game!!!!!

I was very excited to get this game because I really liked the movie. But after trying to get past the first level, I couldn't understand the rule book. I find this game very difficult for kids. Save your money!!!!!!

Good graphics, but not as good of gameplay as expected

I am so glad I played this game before I decided to buy it. I love the movie, but this game I cannot say the same. The graphics are nice and all, but the gameplay is different. The levels are a bit difficult when the guys can only be knocked out for like a minute. This seems more of a game for someone young as it does not really have much for violence. I was expecting so much more, but was disappointed. I would almost rather play the games that came on the DVD for the movie than this. Rent the game, borrow it, or otherwise play it before you buy it!

This game is REALY STUPID
