I agree! I bought this game for my grandson to play on my PC and it didn't work. After spending two days messaging with Activision I found that I needed a more powerful video card. I purchased one for $110 and after getting it installed and updating the drivers all I got for my time and money was the "blue screen of death"! I'm taking the card and the game back today.

The game would not run on my computer. I have an HP 1020 that is less than a year old with all the horsepower you should need. Technical support for Activision told me that I needed to spend $30 to $500 to upgrade my video card in order to run a $15 game.

I installed this game and thought I'd check it out for myself before the kids saw it. It was difficult to maneuver the character and I was also pretty disappointed with the grapics, especially considering the amount of resource you need to run it in the first place. My PC was specifically built for gaming, so it's no slug when it comes to games. I play Sims 2 with ALL the expansion packs, plus thousands of downloaded items and NEVER have the lag I had on this game. When the kids (age 9) played it, they weren't impressed either. They said it was too hard to figure out the controls and basically tired of trying to figure it out very quickly.

This game follows the movie almost identically. The graphics and the gameplay is fun and challanging. The only bad thing is this game freezes up my computer. The one review above is not correct which is review nuber 3.

I got the Shrek the third PC for my birthday present. I fought this game was going to be interesting. Even though I installed it just fine, and it works on our computer, this game often freezes our computer. Usually when this frezzing problem happens I usually have to turn off the computer and start the level all over again. Occasionally, this game erases files all by itself. Sometimes I could not pass the level because it usually freezes in the middle of a level. The graphics were good, the characters were funny. I WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND THIS GAME BECAUSE IT OFTEN FREEZZES OUR COMPUTER!!! BUY ANOTHER GAME!!!
