I played an final test version of Shrek on a final debug Xbox machine (smoke green) The controls are so advanced it was magic, no bs, the music rocked. Shrek was being chased by witches and when I farted on them they were stunned and started to cough surrounded in a green cloud of noxious gas. It made me laugh so hard i started to cry. Also saw some skeletons in one of the castles, they dance, like Michael Jackson moonwalker, ... hilarious, all the testors in the room were busting up like kids, this is a hit, DICE is awesome . . . just a few of hundreds of hilarious bonuses this game has, it will be a classic. ...

Outstanding game!

I too got to test out the game and the visuals are mind blowing. If feels like your playing the movie. The controlls are excellent and has that weird humor that'll keep you laughing for hours. Great game, a must have.

Drivel for sedating your child.

Name one movie license that has produced a high-quality videogame? There aren't any. By their very nature, such games pander to the lowest common denominator - gameplay will be dumbed down so that it can be played by the kids who got the Shrek toy with their happy meal. If you still think fart jokes are funny, and enjoy running around a lot - you might like it. Otherwise: rent the movie, avoid the game.

A fun, lighthearted game

This one is a nice lighthearted game for when you don't want to run around killing everything :). Instead, it's more of a puzzle/adventure oriented game, and should be entertaining for all ages. I'd probably recommend waiting to see how the reviews for this title are instead of preordering however, since the movies released so far indicate that the gameplay may be overly simplistic.

Shrek on Xbox won't dissapoint you...

Played Shrek along with DOA on a Xbox-tour yesterday, and I must say I was really impressed...

Initially I was afraid Shrek would be made too simple just because it also should appeal to a younger audience. But what I found was a really fun and addictive puzzle-game that did more than justice to the great movie that stood model. Trust me, you don't wanna miss this one...

...by the way - the graphics are astounding.

Funny, Fast, Furious

It's a blast being Shrek!

Massive gameplay, really - REALLY - goody-goody-feel to the action. And - this you know - beutifull graphics; actually the best I've seen on the X-box so far!

Overall really impressive stuff. A lot of fun! A definitive must have when you get your X!

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!!

fun but a bit hard

This is a fun game.

The games graphics and sound on the X-Box are just amazing.

All the art work I've seen in it is clever and fun for young and old alike.

My only complaint would be that both me and my wife find is fairly difficult to play. The introductery levels might be cake for console wizards. But for a couple that has always played computer games, the first few levels could be a bit easier (and there by more encouraging).

Despite it's difficulty, I would reccommend this game to anyone. The violence is contained and cartoony and not likely to offend even the most senstive. There is decent humor and story telling. And the sound and graphics are simply impressive.

If I could change just two things, it would be:
the first few levels to be more forgiving.
and for the inclusion of co-operative play.
With those 2 I would give it a solid 5 stars. With either one of them I would give it 4. As is, I would rate it a 3 star game. Very fun, and very pretty, but in my opinion a ever so slightly flawed gem.

Bravo DICE!

Shrek is not only absolutely gorgeous, but also offers gameplay that is engaging, addictive, and (most importantly) FUN, FUN, FUN! Bravo to DICE on their first Xbox title.

Way below par for true game lovers

I am glad that I rented this game before purchasing it because it was a huge letdown! The graphics were so bad it looks as if a class of Elementary school kids created it. Rated for teens is a joke...I don't know any teens that would be entertained by this for one second! Really bad choice for any avid x-box gamer!!
