An interesting puzzle games for kids, but as an adult, I found it a bit tiring.
User Rating: 6 | DreamWorks Shrek the Third DS
When I first started playing this game, I was intrigued. I typically like multi-character puzzle games. I fondly remember the Lost Vikings game on the PC where each of three characters had special abilities that need to be combined to solve each level. I also thought about Lemmings, and the different specializations that had to be utilized to complete each level. Shrek III is similar, but just more boring. Each character has different abilities and in a few levels, the character's abilities must be used in interesting ways and in specific sequences in order to get through the game. However, most levels are pretty straight-forward and require just a minimum of thought to figure out what you need to do. This is a great game for my 8 year old -- she's just getting the mental capacity to use logic to figure out puzzles like this. This game is a nice way to introduce youngsters to this genre of games. However, it was sheer determination to finish that made me complete the game. I certainly wasn't looking forward to finishing it.
