The summer movie onslaught is bearing down on both the silver screen and the smallest screen. Gameloft snapped up the mobile rights for Shrek the Third, the three-quel to the billion-dollar ogre franchise from Dreamworks. Shrek is tasked with finding an heir to his step-father’s throne so he can finally retire to his beloved swamp. With the kingdom in jeopardy due to the vulnerable monarchy, Prince Charming strikes. With the help of Donkey and Puss, the orge must turn back Charming’s army of storybook villains and restore the royal lineage.

The game plays out like a classic 16-bit side-scroller. Those of you that noticed a, well, pattern with the last few 2D adventures from Gameloft — King Kong, Mission Impossible III, Splinter Cell, etc. — will find Shrek the Third treading familiar territory. This plays very similarly to those previous games, which were heavy on platforming action. There is a lot of jumping across ledges and attacking enemies. However, Shrek the Third is set entirely in a day-glo universe and the violence is 100-percent comical.

Even though they seemingly occupy the same genre, Shrek and his friends have a few moves not shared by Ethan Hunt or Sam Fisher, such as a barrel roll or a butt-stomp. Shrek throws cannonballs at pirates. He pulls up magical tree roots and then stomps the trunks into sawdust. He rushes scallywags and beats them into submission with his massive meathooks. Shrek the Third is entirely suitable for the younger set, but older players that like the characters will still get a mild kick out of Shrek’s brand of mayhem. In the first boss encounter, as an example, Puss in Boots drops in to run interference against a Cyclops. His weapon of choice? A cuddly face that stops the Cyclops in his tracks, letting Shrek get in a cannonball attack.

The game makes ample use of Shrek’s sidekicks. Donkey and Puss help out with explaining new game mechanics, show up in boss battles, and generally make their presence felt. You’ll also get to play a side-scrolling shooter sequence with Donkey’s wife, the big pink and purple dragon. Dragon rains fire down on the wicked witches in Prince Charming’s employ while collecting pixies. This is a nice change of pace from the platforming action and one of the game’s highlights. Special bonus for smartly aping the satellites from Konami’s Gradius franchise. Dragon is flanked by two of her dragon-donkey hybrid babies that breathe fire at incoming witches.
