This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Shrek The Third by CVG

Funnily enough, the game feels a tad God of War-sy. Whether it’s combo rankings, button bashing to open crates, collecting blue orbs to activate a slow-mo rage mode, or Donkey fighting a 100ft mechanised Colossus of Rhodes (made up fact) the game plays like PS2’s blood spiller. But, y’know, for ‘the kids’.

The kids will forgive monotony. They shouldn’t, however, forgive licence laziness. The writing is painfully poor, cutscenes star characters interpreted by animatronic dummies and the original cast is shamefully absent. When a narrating John Cleese sounds more like Donkey than the guy they’ve actually hired2 you know you’re in trouble.
