This game rocks! It has a great storyline, and funny charecter appearences. The humor is HILARIUS! Like some of Shrek's moves are farting and burping! And fairy tale freaks like Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Rood make the game nothing but fun! I love the graphics, but the camera veiw may be slow at some points. All in all, this will be the perfect peice to your Gamecube collection. BUY IT NOW!

Superb Graphics!

Unfortunately, they scratched it pretty bad after only 1 week of use. But for that one week, they enjoyed it.

An ogre of a disappointment

Even as an adult who prefers gamecube to the other systems and usually goes for the less violent and more cartoony games, I was very disappointed in this game. It's very short, definitely not worth the money to buy, because you can beat it easily in the time it takes to rent it (and I'm not that good at video games). The programming is just shoddy. Shrek and the enemies give no auditory or visual signal when they've been hit, so Shrek can die and you'll get "Game Over" and you'll never even know you were hit. There are many other corners that the programmers have cut throughout the game. The camera is shaky, which gives me a headache. The game is a little funny at times, but the burping and farting thing (one of shrek's weapons) gets old rather quickly and you can get through most of the game without ever using it. I bought the game because I love Shrek's charm and humor, but all of this is lost in the game. The humor may be good for a 12 year old, but the characters scream the same lines over and over so much that you may find your twelve year old banging his head against the wall. She may also bang her head at the monotony of the tasks. They're all so similar, if you feel like you just did this one - chances are you're right. All in all, if you're like me, a Shrek lover, you may have been dying to at least see the game, but I don't even think it's worth renting.

It's okay!

This game is pretty fun so I'll give it four stars. It can be very intense. (which is hard to believe) It can be hard and easy depending on what you are doing. Buy this game if you like shrek.

Awful!! Bad graphics, movements! Don't waste your money!

My husband and I convinced our 12 yr old to spend her hard earned money on this thinking that with Shrek, how could we go wrong? What a waste! The movements are rather difficult to master. The screen movements made me have motion sickness. My 12 yr old doesn't even bother trying to play it anymore. I could only play for about 10 minutes or so without getting nauseated. We will definitely have to make it up to her and get her a game that she likes. We will probably never buy another game without renting it first to try it out.

A Fun Game...

I think grannies can be a little tough on this game. The farting and belching is all in fun. The Game Play can be a little tough to master at first. The fact about jumping that people don't get is...
If you can jump up it, you will be able to jump in one jump. If you need to double-jump to get to a higher place, you will need to bouce off of a wall. The worlds are a lot of fun and the graphics are cool. There are plenty of fun things to find and power-ups to get. It's nice to play as a full sized Shrek. As opposed to the small, multi-player characters in Shrek 2...which is also fun, but different.

Mixture of laughs, challenges and plain frustration

Overall, I enjoyed the game - it is a typical quest storyline, with tasks to complete at each level, and there are many challenges to engage your mind. However, parents should note:
1. The game is far too difficult for small children - Shrek can be difficult to manouver in some cases and directions are hard to understand.
2. It is not likely that a small child would have the skill necessary to look at some of Shrek's "problems" from different angles to solve them. I had to stop, retrace my steps, and try a different strategy numerous times.
3. The tasks to complete each level are basically simple... EXCEPT for the last task. The final task of every level includes one item/creature that must be found BUT this item/creature is hidden in such a way that you must search every last space on the level to find it. (This is extremely frustrating!
4. Finally, there are very poor help options - the story book does not provide much information when you are looking for clues.
If you want a challenge, this is your game.

Way to difficult for kids

I bought this game for my 5 year old son who loves Shrek. This game was way too difficult for him to play by himself. Shrek is just too hard to manouver and the tasks are too difficult for a child.
