Shrek Forever After: The Final Chapter - Nintendo DS Review

Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss In Boots are back in Shrek Forever After, the final chapter in the Shrek story. Shrek isn't happy about being a family man, and he tries to go back to his "bachelor" days. He makes a regrettable deal with the machiavellian (and annoying) Rumplestiltskin. Shrek is transported to a different world where ogres are hunted and Rumplestiltskin rules as king. Plus, it is like Fiona and Shrek never met in this world. Shrek's goal is to fight to save his friends and the land of Far, Far Away from the miscreant Rumplestiltskin. You can morph between Shrek's normal world and his alternate reality for twice the adventure.

My son loves this game! He has been playing it everyday since we received this game. I almost wish he didn't love it as much since I can hardly get any kind of work done, because he always wants me to play this game with him. However, I'm happy that he enjoys the game. I haven't had much time to play any video games lately (I usually like to relax and unwind by playing mystery games, lol), but I can see why he enjoys this game so much. It is highly entertaining and addictive. He even got his grandmother into this game! Like most DS games, the graphics are not too great, but this can easily be overlooked since it is a great game to play regardless.

Players can join in on the action at any time in the drop-in/drop-out co-operative multiplayer mode to for a team of up to four players. A single player experience is also offered, which allows the player to switch between the four characters as needed at any time!

Shrek Forever After has been rated E10+ (Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief and Mild Lyrics) for all consoles and PC and (Cartoon Violence) for the Nintendo DS versivon.
