Still, it does provide some interesting insights, particularly if you're a fan of Puss in Boots, who has his own spin-off feature film and television show. Of course, it's not necessary to watch all the short films and TV specials to understand the storyline of the feature films. If you've seen the films already and liked them, then this game is worth playing even if you haven't seen the next two yet.The best way to watch the Shrek feature films, short films, and television specials is in chronological order to follow the story's timeline and appreciate the character progression. If you've never seen the Shrek films then this is a great introduction to them for those who are new to the series. Instead, it is more of a dark comedy with well placed humorous moments. However, it doesn't quite come across as being too 'fairytale' like and it doesn't have quite the same kind of humor that the earlier films had. This game is similar in tone and subject matter to the earlier Shrek films, in terms of fantasy elements and visual treats.

The overall story is about a fairy tale type set in medieval times and follows a group of characters (some of whom you'll recognize from the earlier Shrek movies) who must save the Earth from the evil king. The overall game play is about three or four times as long as that of the earlier Shrek films. The graphics are fairly basic but fit the theme of Shrek (and of course the 3 films). The controls are simple and don't have any complicated moving parts. Like most things related to Shrek the Third (and the first two films as well) the game is very easy to pick up and to master. This is basically a platform game in which you play as Shrek and run through the different levels trying to save the princess from the clutches of the evil king. He lives with his two loyal buddies Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy), Princess Fiona (Cary Elwes) and Lord Farquaad (Peter Shaffer). Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is an ogre who live in the green world of Shrek (a fantasy world) and is an absolute green. Shrek The Third is an all-out action, adventure video game released for the xBox in fall 2007.
