This game is horrible, boring, disgusting, monotonous, repetitive, and generally unlikable. That should be enough to convince you that this game stinks! It even has a button so you can belch and another so you can pass gas. That was a little too disgusting for my taste. Even OddWorld does that, but it doesn't put any emphasis on it like this game does. Don't rent, don't buy, don't even consider it. Just pick up Shrek 2 and leave Shrek 1 alone!
A horrible game.

A crappy game that has no thought put into it whatsoever. This game in monotonous, stupid and just plain annoying. It has nothing to do with the movie whatsoever, and you do really retarded side quests. The combat is horrible too.
COOL 7/10

Just plain boring and hard to play! Like many of the off beat xbox games Shreck is a waste of money!
Nice thought but don't spend much on it as it's not worth the time playing let alone hard earned cash!

This game is entertaining, but the controls are a bit hard to use.
The game centers around Shrek's requirements to help people with tasks. These tasks are things like collect all of Mary's lambs and get them back in their coral, or go around and break all of the work whistles at a factory.
There are people that try to stop your do gooding, so you have to smack them around a bit.
While there is some violence in the tasks, it's fairly minimal and no character really gets hurt. There is no blood or graphic violence, just shrek kicking or punching the chars and they get right back up.
I found the controls to be a bit hard, because there is no option to see things through shrek's eyes. You are always viewing from above and the view point rotates some sometimes you are viewing from above and behind and sometimes you are from the side or front, which can make it a bit hard to do what you want.
Overall the game is entertaining and most kids will like it.
Too hard

The tasks in the game are way too hard. Like another reviewer noted it is impossible to kill any of the opponents in the game. You can only stun them and not for very long. It is not very hard to keep Shrek alive or keep his gas meter on full with plenty of onions, but you soon feel like the tasks you are supposed to accomplish are an effort in futility. Rent it first. Maybe there are some cheats that make the tasks actually doable.
Good and Bad

This game is good and bad. I think you should rent it first because 50% will love it and 50% will hate it. I think it has more ups then downs though, but it still could use a little improvement.
