    Like a fine wine this Shrek version has improved with age. It's more colorful, full-bodied and delicious.
  2. I would recommend it for kids especially except that some of the jumping puzzles just drive you NUTS because they are so hard.

    Not an amazing design by any stretch, but it's extremely solid with enough challenge and variety for the casual gamer to enjoy.

    Pure fun. [Nov 2002, p.70]
  5. The automatic save feature makes playing a considerable non-hassle, while the multiple difficulty settings guarantee enjoyable gaming at all skill levels.

    More aggravating than fun, a hassle really is the best way to describe this middling platformer.
