Fair at best. Quickly made game

This game is what you'd expect from a kiddie game, especially one based off a cartoon movie. It's as simple as it gets, but is still pretty fun for kids to play. The donkey is hilarious as always, but the voice acting for Shrek seemed way off. If you're looking for achievement points, this one ranks maybe a 4/10 difficulty for 1000G, and will take you anywhere from 4-10 hours, depending on how much stuff you collect the first time around. It's a definite rent, play for 5 hours, throw back in mail and don't tell your friends you just played Shrek. Good thing xbox lets you hide your online status!
You basically walk through levels defeating small enemies as Shrek and the little cat guy with the fencing sword. You push X to attack, B for power attack and Y for some finishing moves. It's VERY basic, but fun enough to mix up the combos and keep it interesting....for 20 minutes. The finishing move slow-mo part is really annoying and repetitive, and once I got the achievement for that, I button mashed X the entire game and never died on a single level.
You can beat this game without dying one time if you want, but sometimes the camera angles are very annoying and you can't tell your depth or angle whatsoever. This may get you killed a few times. Graphics could be for Gamecube here, and it's not a very long game. Beat some levels, get some little collectibles, and unlock like 4 costumes. Wow, I'm done. And did I really just write a review for Shrek the Third??? I'm not writing my gamertag at the end of this one.
