This is either because the celebrity sound-alike voice cast can't nail it, the timing is stilted, or the material itself just isn't funny. Aside from these sequences, as well as a musical number masquerading as a boss battle, most attempts at humor in Shrek the Third fall flat. More interesting than the actual story-which sees Shrek tracking down an heir to the throne of Far Far Away while Prince Charming makes a coup attempt-is the puppet show format of the story sequences. The puppet show story sequences are the most interesting part of Shrek the Third.Īs is movie-license-game tradition, the story in Shrek the Third provides a broad pantomime of the film on which it is based. While there are certainly worse movie-license games out there, Shrek the Third still feels slapdash and thoughtless, plus its function to entertain is overwhelmed by its function to make money. Released just prior to the theatrical debut of Shrek the Third to maximize its synergistic potential, Shrek the Third for the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii is more compelling as a brand marketing bullet point than it is as an actual video game.
