Brief synopsis of Shrek the Third

The big Scottish green guy's back, and someone wants to make the poor blighter king. Even more unfortunate than the promise of looming monarchy, however, is the fact that Prince Charming has taken it upon himself to invade the kingdom of Far Far Away with an army of villains at his back. Let the next twisted fairy tale in the Shrek series commence!

Shrek the Third takes the form of an action brawler, setting Shrek and his ragtag bag of buddies on the road to saving the kingdom. Fans have a range of characters to choose from, including the green ogre himself, Donkey, Puss-in-Boots, Fiona, Fiona's rebellious cousin Arthur Pendragon and her fellow fairytale belle, Sleeping Beauty.

Players will need to rescue pals, tackle Charming's less than charming henchmen, gather fairytale collectibles and get into boss skirmishes. Each character has his or her own special moves to get to grips with, including Shreks Ogre Power, Fionas Flying Kick, Puss N Boots somewhat non-threatening sounding Cute Puss, Sleeping Beautys even more non-threatening sounding Swoon attack, and Arties Power of Excalibur.

Also thrown in for good measure are six multiplayer mini games, dubbed Castle Attack, Shrekleboard, Frog Herder, Shooting Gallery, Catacombs Leap and Ships Ahoy.

Rated - 4 starsA good game foolowing a good film at last.

A customer from Yorkshire , 25/07/2007

We hired this title with a view to buying this. We have done this with most titles and find it is much easier then going to the local rental company. Shrek is very close in story to the actual fim and it is very playable. My children enjoyed this very much and would recommend this to anyone for hire because if you have seen the film then it brings to life all the characters and submerges your children into that fantasy world. We went out and bought this title so that shows you just how good this title is.

OK it wasn't to bad tbh, graphics and gameplay were poor but its shrek so your gonna love it, filled with laughs all the way through, it includes quite a few playable charecters aswell Shrek, Donkey, Puss in boots, Fiona and Sleeping Beauty. An average game to the average 4-7 year old but any older than that its a pure achievement whore game... Saying that its worth the rent!

well my son played the first level and found it so irritating and completely unentertaining that we put it back in the envelope and sent it right back. The graphics are awful, gameplay is heavily lacking in quality and it's not great for kids at all as they will lose interest in it quite quickly. It's even more painful watching it. Please don't rent this one, better off with Open Season
