Shrek: Forever After for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Most people seem to have already come to the foregone conclusion that "Shrek: Forever After" is a bad movie tie-in game. I for one figured the same until I decided to try the game since there wasn't anything available in my GameQ. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the game actually played. The game centers around the four main characters of the series (Shrek, Fionna, Donkey, and Puss). The game is very linear in it's level design and only allows for minor exploration in the Ogre's camp which is your base level. There are 6 other levels I believe and beside the story there are collectibles in each level for each character to find in a specific way to that character (Shrek is strong and can move boulders while Puss is nimble and agile and can climb trees etc.). The combat was definitely lacking as you only have 2 attacks which makes the combat the most boring aspect of the game. The way the levels are set up is interesting in the fact that each character has upgradeable abilities to get as you progress further into the game that allows you to go back later and find hidden collectibles you couldn't reach earlier like in "Batman: Arkham Asylum". I have not seen the movie yet so I can't really tell you how well the game's story followed the movie's, but I did enjoy the story here in the game regardless. The game is very short and it shouldn't take more than a week to complete for even the most novice of players. The puzzles in the game are decently simplistic. Like everyone else has stated the trophies are very easy to accomplish, aside from finding all the collectibles that is. Overall I gave this game a 6. It would get a 6.5 if it was available. So if you don't have any games available in your GameQ or just want an easy game to play or platinum then I highly recommend this game. You could certainly do worse with other movie tie-in games that actually were bad games.

This game is great for trophy hunters!! 15.06 hours and I had it platinumed... :)

The music on this game is hilarious! I rather enjoy killing off enemies to "Do you like waffles, yeah I like waffles!"

Overall I really enjoyed this game for a few reasons:

It's a multi-player game (I played with my boyfriend who normally falls asleep while playing video games but he was thoroughly entertained and it managed to keep him awake... big accomplishment!)

It was challenging enough to make it interesting, which I hadn't expected.

It's great that it lets you go back through and use different skills to get to more areas in the game as you pogress.

I liked that you could switch characters at any time and that each segment or area of the map offered a variety of puzzles and hidden treasure.

It's a very fun upbeat game!

The only down sides are that I kind of wish the story line was longer and that some parts of the game were less repetitive.

this was a great game for my 7 yr old daughter she loved it. It was very easy for her to understand and navigate through. She is not a big gamer though. My 8yr old son beat it in about 6 hrs or gameplay total.

i played this game with my 7 yr old from beginning to end. its very easy for trophies (i think 10 popped within the first 5 minutes of playing), but the controls and 'combat' are terrible. the game gets very annoying very quickly.

is ok for kids

Dont waste 2 days getting this Game.. I put it backin the mailbox the same day... SMH!!!

Play as Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss as you go through Shrek's regular world and the opposite world and find the enemy Rumpelstiltskin.
