I loved the movie! It is hillarious and very heart touching. This game however is not. It has nothing to do with the movie. It's just select a player and fight. It took me 5 min. to beat it with Shrek as my character! 5 min? That's like a school passing period. If you want a good Shrek game, just wait for the Xbox version. Untill now, save your money.

A primative run-of-the-mill punch and kicker. Schlock version of Mortal Combat designed to capitalize on a fun film. Not at all engaging and not very responsive to the hand controls.

Really Bad!

If you've seen the movie, you may be tempted to go buy this game but don't. It is a fighting game that has nothing to do with the movie. It is extremely boring and is not fun at all. Trust me! Do yourself a favor and save your money!!

WORST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the worst game I ever played. I was so excited to play it but then when I played the game I was sad because you just fight. When I was gonna fight the gingerbread man I said to myself that it's not fair because I wrote the password correctly but I didn't beat the gingerbread man and I can't shoot but the gingerbread man can shoot so I said it was not fair so I started to cry and I also said this is the worst game I ever played in my whole life!

It is STUPID!

It is so stupid. I beat the game in 15 mins. I thought is would be cool but it isn't. Don't bother in buying it, it isn't worth the money!

This game was awful. I bought, thinking it would be like the movie, but it wasn't. It wasn't worth the money. You just jump around, hitting the other player. Buy Zelda or Mario instead.

A waste...

The movie Shrek was a clever, funny respin of a popular fairy tale theme that looked amazing to boot. Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown is none of these things. To quote my cousin, "I thought it would be Shrek running around smashing stuff!" but instead I got a mediocre fighter obviously designed by a mentally retarded cockroach. You can beat it in ten minutes or less, but won't enjoy a second. There isn't really sound to speak of, and the graphics look like LEGO people melted in the microwave for an hour or so. The characters all fight the same way. Do not buy!

Mortal Kombat Gone Shrek

I saw, and loved the movie. I expected this game to be somewhat of an action adventure, with the ability to switch characters and solve puzzles. Picture the image of Shrek being able to belly-bash, and the donkey being able to jump and bray. What I got was basically just a fighting game, ala Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter. The game itself is good, but all you get to do, is play as many different characters and fight best of three rounds. It has special moves to learn, and is a decent fighting game, but nothing more. You just need to take this into account, and if you like that idea, then buy it, if not....it might be good for a rent.

Not even a challenge for a 7 year old

We were so fired up to finally be getting the Shrek Game Boy game. My son has really enjoyed all of his games and has gotten really good at them. But, just imagine my surprise when I saw him with tears streaming down his face after just a few minutes of playing. My first reaction was to remind him that it will take some practice to get better. His response to me was "It's just a fighting game." He even had his own ideas of how it could have been better, (ie. more puzzle levels, jumping, ala Mario). I take blame for this one. I didn't read the back of the box. I assumed........and you know...... There are lots of great games out there. Save your money on this one.

i wish i would have read the reviews first
