Shrek 2 for the PS2 was decent, but Shrek The Third on the Xbox 360 took a beating at my hands. Shrek Ever After is set up for multiple playthroughs. Likely the same songs used in the movie, Activision has picked up the rights for Similarly, the sound in the game is decent as well. Since the game supports 4 player cooperative play, framerate is especially important. The characters are bright and well animated, and the framerate is absolutely rock solid. The characters and cinematics are solid, even if occasionally somewhat lacking in the environmentals. The game kicks off with a quick tutorial level, dropping you right into the boots of all four characters, just after Shrek signed the aforementioned contract. Naturally, this means that we also have another game tie-in to juggle. Again upon a time, in the land of Far Far Away, we have another Shrek movie to look forward to.
