Shrek 2 - Twisted Fairy Tale Game

Customer reviews:

Shrek 2 Good game, 2005-10-27
This is a really cute game for the younger elementary set. My 6 year old and I can get through a game in 30 minutes, which is perfect for before dinner, or while his sister is in the bath. You MUST have seen the movie to play as it requires players to imitate characters from the movie. The "battles" are a matter of rolling dice to match pictures and it is very easy set up and very easy to play. My 3 year old was occupied with rolling the dice for me.

One thing you need to watch, though, and it bothers me a little, is that some of the impersonations require players to re-create bodily functions such as burping. Trying to teach my children manners takes a backseat here. They get off track and have silly little burp-fests going on. It can get tiring.

All in all, it is a good game and a perfect way to fill a half hour and spend some fun time with your kid!

Go ahead, just make 'em say excuse me!

One of the best movie-themed games we have seen, 2005-04-19
After Winnie the Pooh Candyland, a Sesame Street game, and multiple movie-themed versions of Monopoly and trivia games, my expectations of this game were rather low. I was pleasantly surprised by the Shrek 2 Twisted Fairy Tale game.

In addition to rolling dice in battle, some of the activity cards require singing songs, doing an impression of a movie character, or making sound effects. This game is much more interesting than other games that simply require spinning, rolling, or drawing a card to move around the board.
