I like what shrek is doing, making their own versions of hit games. (shrek super party shrek race etc.) but i always know they're not gonna be as good, but i still rent them and very much enjoy them. I fully expected this game not to be as good as super smash but i still very much enjoyed this game, the graphics are beautiful, the point system is confusing, the gameplay is great, the storyline is NOT how you beat the game, and this game is DEFINITELEY not worth a replay. shrek should've done what super smash did - make the game 2-D but still awesome yet simple. unlike in super smash the characters do not have equal strength, ( in super smash they made all the characters about equal) Like if you hit someone with "Red Riding Hood" they are'nt going to move. But with "Black Knight" the opponent's going to go flying across the board. i would've given this game an "8" if the storyline was'nt completeley stupid and pointless. the storyline is'nt even how you beat this game! The challenge mode is. I played until i got all the characters and some of the boards. Overall I would reccomend this game to someone who wants to prove their strength to their buddies, because if you get slammed ( slam= special move) you completeley lose control and get smashed through walls and stuff. my favorite part of this game was countering my opponents attacks, like if they throw a chair at me i can bounce it back at them or grab it out of the air which is really fun to show off. so you should probably try this game before you turn it down. (if you are going to rent this game please play super smash first.)

Multiplayer Shrek-style violence!

This is another great game for kids, and adults who enjoy the Shrek movie series. This is basically "Super Smash Bros." with Shrek characters. Not terribly innovative, but as another "slam" offering it is a lot of fun. The cutscenes are funny too. Stick with it for more than a few minutes and you'll get what I mean (and play in multiplayer mode). I have four kids 8 years old and younger (3 old enough to play) and they enjoyed this game.

I'm not sure what the gripes are all about in some of the other reviews- "can't hurt the characters?" HUH? Sorry all you bloodthirsty Shrek fighting game fans, but this will be a disappointment. No blood or gore, no permanent damage to the characters. Go rent "Hitman 2" or "Resident Evil 4" to get your carnage fix.

If you like all 3 of the movies, rent this game- it's worth trying.

This game was pretty good, I'll admit. It's got cool graphics and being able to destroy buildings and everything is fun. It's got some new characters to choose from, which is nice. But, it would be nice if you could actually hurt your opponent normally and in Slam Mode. Also, being able to toss opponents of the stage would make it more fun. I give it 2 1/2 stars out of 5.
