    It won’t keep mature gamers’ attention for very long, but kids will love it.

    Shrek the Third is a funny beat-'em-up perfect for kids that liked the movie, but it suffers from simple controls and repetitive fighting.

    The saving grace of this game is Shrek and the other characters. They are portrayed charmingly and just like in the movies. The mini-games are also fun. However, the game as a whole isn’t anything above average and would probably receive a lesser rating without the presence of Shrek and company.

    Most movie games reduce feature-film characters to kludge-y cutouts and awkward zombies; Shrek The Third finds a way to keep them alive.

    The pick of the formats, but this is still mediocre. Shrek the turd, more like. [Aug 2007, p.73]

    The ogre's latest looks better but plays worse on the Wii.

    Shrek The Third is best left lying in the bargain buckets, and even then, that's too good a fate for what it actually is.

I found the game to be much better than many other movie tie in games I've played in the past. My kids love the game (of course) and use up their 1/2 hour of game/tv time a day to play it.… Expand
