  • Summary: Based on the animated feature film from DreamWorks, Madagascar is the only game that lets players enter the world of four hilarious Central Park Zoo animals - a personality-packed crew made up of a lion, zebra, giraffe and hippo. Players must master each animal's natural skills while adventuring through the exciting city of New York and the dangerous island of Madagascar, interacting with other animals and tackling obstacles and enemies in scenarios from the movie and beyond.

  1. Undoubtedly a fun little platformer. The game boasts respectable gameplay, and an impressive audio-visual combination, as well as a comical plot from the folks at Dreamworks. There’s plenty to do in the levels, and plenty to unlock for a second play through.

    It does everything it needs to, and a few things it doesn’t, really well. It’s a shame that the control and camera issues exist, but given that the development team likely had to hit a nigh impossible deadline, I’m just glad that the problems aren’t game-killers.
  3. There’s nothing that’s going to knock your socks off, but enough for your 10 year old to enjoy it at least as a rental.
  4. Admittedly, it has a streak of good humour running through it and a few unlockable two-player mini-games, but they're unlikely to encourage completion.

    Really funny game, a lot to do, and a lot mini-games to unlock, sometimes difficulty increases too much for kids, so they need parent's help... but overall a good solig platform game for kids! Expand

    This game is not exceptional but definately the suckers who have given it less than 5 are duds. It is a fun game which keeps you entertained for some time. Expand

    Fun game for the younger set (six year old), especially if they are fans of the original movie. Embedded mini games are a nice addition.
