It's hard to find an age appropriate game these days, but this one fits the bill. For older kids, the first few games might seem a little boring, but as they continue to play it becomes more challenging and fun.

Poor graphics. The only option for multiplayer is the lame competitions which you can barely see (due to the poor graphics). So boring, not enough of a challenge. A real shame because I usually like these Shrek games.

I love Shrek. The game was cool but not for older kids. I played with my 11 year old nephew and he preferred Little Big Planet than Shrek although he loves Shrek movies.

This is a very good young childrens playstation game. The gameplay develops like a complete story with lots of Shrek humour throughout the 20 levels. It largely follows the plot of Shrek 3. You are made to play as different characters: Shrek, Donkey, Puss in Boots, Fiona, Arthur and Sleeping Beauty each with their own unique fighting styles and special moves. The gameplay isn't very challenging which means it will probably be too easy for teenagers. There are a couple of tricky bits which may get young children stuck but largely a few simple button clicks will get your character past the enemy or over an obstacle. If you do die you are not sent back very far, you just try and try again. Only if you give up in the middle of a level and turn the playstation off do you have to start from the beginning of a section again. Evil trees, witches, soldiers, gnomes, wicked pinocchios, a huge Ice Dragon, a piano playing Captain Hook and Prince Charming are some of the villians you have to defeat.
There are also some very good multiplayer or single player mini games which extend the gameplay of this disk like Frog Herding.
The main game if you rush through it is very short. You could get to the end in a couple of days. You can extend the gameplay by completing all the quests in the level but my children don't like hanging around or going backwards. I think the game would have been better if you were forced to complete most tasks before progressing. The quests are tasks like collecting an amount of hidden items like tiaras, red apples, tankards etc which can be lying around or hidden in crates, bushes etc. Another common quest is to perform a set number of special finishing moves when defeating a villian.
Throughout the game you can collect special money coins everywhere and there is a shop where you can purchase special outfits which make the characters look silly but also give them extra powers.
Overall it's very good and highly recommended. It could have just done with a few more levels.

My grandson loves the character and I bought him the game. It's fun but I have yet to solve it.

Great kids game. Little short though. My daughter got through it waaayyy too fast.

I give this seller an A++++++++++++++++, game works GREAT. My niece and son loves its:-)

I FOUND IT HARD BUT GRAND KIDS HAD NO PROBLEM WIT IT UNTIL THE WITCH. KIDS FROM 4 ON UP DO BETTER THAN I DO.

My daughter who is 8 had this game beat in a day and a half and she enjoyed playing it.

I purchased this game for my nieces and nephews to play when they come to visit (and for me to play every now and again!!). I had bought them Shrek 2 previously and they LOVED it! I thought this would be another great addition to the Shrek collection- but I was wrong! It is a boring game, the graphics are poor and the story line is really lame. If you want a great Shrek video game- go for Shrek 2. It is more fun and more entertaining than Shrek The Third. There is one advantage of this game- it helps me fall asleep on the nights I'm suffering from extreme insomnia!
