    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa first came out in 2008, I was excited as any other little kid. They way the first game was set up, it encourage me to try this one. Boy was I wrong. When I first started to play, I noticed that the graphics are completely different the the first. It was challenging to actually see the characters just like they were in the movie. The second thing I noticed was that there was no free roam, which to me, was a great thing if you like one character then the others. The only thing I wonder through the game was "What were they thinking."… Expand

    Madagascar is a hilarious movie and so is the game. It's an easy and fun platformer for all ages. Definitely one of the better movie-games. Overall rating: 7.5.

    The game is really good, but the PS2 port is meh. The graphics is obviously worse than the other versions due to the PS2 hardware, and there are more glitches, but it is still really playable. If you have a PS2, but you don't have a PS3, Wii, X360 or PC, you can purchase this version. But if you have one of the other consoles purchase those versions, the graphics is 1000x better.

    Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a fun platformer, definitely aimed at younger gamers and fans of the series.

    I suppose a young gamer might get a kick out of this one if he or she is really into the Madagascar movies, but the bland gameplay and awkward structure do very little to provide an enjoyable experience.

    Though functionality isn’t one of its strong points, the game’s major saving graces are its humorous cutscenes and voiceover work, namely that of Julien.
