    The only group I can recommend this game to would be extreme fans of the movie, and judging from the movie's reviews, there won’t be too many of those.

    StT is as weak as licensed kiddie games get. It's a boring, shallow experience that features none of the whimsy and hilarity of the films.

    It’s possible a six-year-old could be amused by it, but at E10+, they shouldn’t' be playing it. And anyhow, there are plenty of other kid-friendly games that will challenge their brains and inspire their imaginations. And make them actually laugh.

    If you value your time, stay away from this game. Go see the movie instead

    Shrek the Third's main problem is its complete lack of spark.

    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.

    Simple put, a fun game that holds true to the movie. I found the game to be much better than many other movie tie in games I've played Simple put, a fun game that holds true to the movie. 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.… Full Review »
