Yet another game based on a movie I don't intend to watch. (#6 for the year.) Games based on movies are usually bad. That's the ideology I had in mind when starting to play Shrek the Third. It's a platform game, borrowing many elements from Arthur & the Invisibles, but this is a better game than that is. The controls are good. A to jump and B to attack. Now if every game was like that, I'd be happy. In some levels, though, you control both Donkey and Puss-In-Boots, toggling between each for their special abilities. In others, Shrek goes it alone in search for the two (and mainly Arthur, next-in-line for the throne.)

So basically, what it boils all down to is Shrek the Third is your run-of-the-mill basic good platformer.
