Shrek 2 playstation PS2 game--GREAT for kiddos!

My children are game fanatics... no matter how much I try to get them away from the games--they always are drawn back in! Soooo... if they MUST play games, I look for games that are good for them... and require more than just pushing buttons and "you've won" deals! I like the games that need strategies, and thinking... USING your noggin'! That brings me to "Shrek 2: Playstation 2 game"... I LOVE this game. The characters are well-created, and just adorable. They really look like the actual characters on "Shrek". This game requires the children to use their minds and figure out different ways to navigate, and such! If you think this is just a simple game that will cause the zombie-like similarities in your children... WRONG!!! This game really gets the kiddos interacting, shouting (joyfully... and not menancingly), and trying to figure out different strategies to go through the different levels.
There is slight violence... but think about it... most games and television shows are filled with violence (heck... even Disney shows have violence in them... somewhere). We cannot shield our children from everything (even though we would like to)... so, a fun and slightly "violent" (for lack of a better word) game such as "Shrek" is actually okay in my opinion!
This game invokes concentration, imagination, thinking, skills, fun, & more! You really cannot go wrong with this game! I do think it is better for "older" children that maybe know how to read (unless you don't mind reading every friggin' little caption they have to your kiddos)...lol! My sons that enjoy this game are 3 years old, and 7 years old! The three-year old really has fun but does have trouble reading (mmm... he's not a prodigy), and has some trouble figuring out the different strategies to play the game... but--HE'S THREE! He does pretty darn good overall (see, such a wonderful game)! My other son, who is 7, LOVES this game! He can whoop me anyday (er, um, well... occassionally ADULTS even like games)! He understands most of it... and the ones he has trouble figuring out... he will sit there and work and re-work any situation until it fits (just like a puzzle)!
Overall, I think it is a really good game for kiddos, teens, and adults alike! Really... use your imagination, sit back & relax... grab a soda...um, I mean a really good 100% juice drink that has all the fortified vitamins... maybe some chips, er... I mean some wheat thins, and just let your imagination run wild! Have fun, kick some DONKEY & OGRE butt...oh wait, those are the good guys... just have fun! It's a great game! No cursing in this game, and it's just really good overall!
