Based on the animated film from DreamWorks, Madagascar tells the tale of four animals in New York's Central Park Zoo. You must use the skills of your animal crew (consisting of a lion, zebra, giraffe, and hippo) to overcome a variety of dangerous obstacles.
Madagascar review:
It's a short but endearing adventure that will be immediately appealing to the adolescent gamers in your household, whether or not they've seen the movie. And if they have, all the better.
Madagascar review:
The mini-games include multiplayer shuffleboard, a rhythm game not unlike DDR (sans dance mat), and an exceedingly frustrating version of mini-golf.Madagascar is not a long game. The whole thing can be finished in just a couple of sittings. However, fans of the film, both young and old, would do well to give it a shot, as it's an entertaining platformer that complements the movie quite well.
Madagascar review:
At New York's Central Park Zoo, a lion, a zebra, a giraffe, and a hippo are best friends and stars of the show. But when one of the animals goes missing from their cage, the other three break free to look for him, only to find themselves reunited ... on a ship en route to the island of Madagascar. When their vessel capsizes off the coast, however, the friends, who have all been raised in captivity, learn first-hand what life can be like in the wild.
Madagascar review:
It impressed me enough to recommend it for the audience it’s aimed at: children 5-9 years old. Several issues do plague the game, which is a shame since it could have been something much better than it tries to be. Still, it’s definitely a lot more fun than the movie was.
Madagascar review:
+ Some fun gameplay elements, mixed in with each character from the movie.+ Fun unlockable mini-games, including some fun mini golf and a DDR-style dance game.+/- Graphics don't really amaze, but manage to get the job done in typical platforming standard.+/- The actors from the film are sorely missed, but the sound-a-likes do acceptable work.
