    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.

    While the little kids won’t especially notice or even care about the some of the graphical quirks and choppy animation – Puss in Boots is the main culprit – any older gamers will likely be distracted but if you’re just playing the “hard” parts of the game, it’s not so bad.

    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.

    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.… Expand

    The mini games are fun to play with the kids; however the main game just repeats the same thing over, and over, and over, again; should have at least been able to use the 2 player mode in the main game. If you're looking for a great game, this will not hold your attention for very long.… Expand

    This game is a horrible waste of time, it shows no use of the wiimotes unique controll scemes and even then lack of multiplayer and difficulty leave child only players enjoying it for over 2 minutes!… Collapse
