= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Shrek 2 (CD-ROM)

My son who is 7 bought this game on a Friday and of course had to install it right away :) By Saturday evening, he had won the game with help from his dad in a few spots. Sunday then rolled around and he beat the game again within 3 hours and this time did it all by himself.

The graphics are good in some spots and great in others. The voices are just fine and the kids will smile when they recognize them.

Your child might have a hard time playing the game via the keyboard layout and it does take some good coordination to figure it out (this is what he needed help with the most). But once they have that mastered, they will play it without any problem.

So here's the deal. By the 2nd full completed game, my son was done and it has be removed from the PC. Not much replay value for $30 in my opinion. Now I see the full retail has dropped to only $20 in less than 2 weeks. That alone should tell you that the game is faltering in sales.

Parents, in my opinion, go get a used one on an auction site or somewhere else so you don't pay full retail for this like I did.

This review is from: Shrek 2 (CD-ROM)

I know this isn't out in most places yet. However, i picked up a copy at my local Wal-Mart. I'm not sure if it was a mistake. But, i am happy i got it! This game has a grand sense of humor. Along with upscale (albiet, about a year behind) graphics. A LOT of levels. And, all of the original voices from both Shrek movies! 3 dimensional graphics that shine in a platform based action game with a touch of strategy and critical thinking. Lots of very fast paced fighting. The point that my son and i both enjoyed the most is that you can play as MANY different characters throughout the game. Such as Shrek, Donkey,Puss in boots, and Fiona just for starters. I'll leave out the rest so you can be surprised at just how creative they were in the design of such a moderately priced game. I can't see why anyone with a love for platform/strategy games wouldn't enjoy this from start to finish.

After taking my two kids to see Shrek2, I bought them this computer game, and they have really enjoyed playing it. My 10 year old son seems to find the donkey especially funny, and my 8 year old daughter, who usually doesn't play as many games, has been very absorbed with this one since I brought it home. It was easy to get them started, which I appreciate, since I'm not a computer whiz, and it seems to be very consistant with the movie, which thye loved.
