    This is actually a fun game! The level designs are actually well done. I feel like this was one of the last movie-to-game game that was actually fun..

    Underrated. This game is good. Madagascar maybe lacks innovation but is a little fun game. It´s very simple with lack of big maps and is very short, but is satisfactory exploring and unlocking new content in the shop, listen the characters, idle and models animations, the funny story and the minigames also are pretty fun. The game is fine, but it could be much better. It serves to hang outUnderrated. This game is good. Madagascar maybe lacks innovation but is a little fun game.

The game is fine, but it could be much better. It serves to hang out and kill time. The biggest negative point of this game is the fact that the graphics are somehow worse than even other platformers on the PS1 like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro or Rayman 2. But like many people said, graphics doesnt make a game good or bad, and since this game is pretty fun, it didnt ruin my experience, so is still a pretty good game even today. Expand

    Das Spiel ist für Erwachsene eine mittelmäßige Unterhaltung. Jedoch ist es für Kinder ein schönes Spiel, welches nette Mini Spiele und und viel Abwechslung hat.

    Well, this game surprised me. King Julien wasn't annoying. In fact, his voice actor is absolutely hilarious.

  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.
  2. It's not exactly a memorable quest, but Madagascar is still a good time, especially to fans of the movie who can't get enough of its main characters.
  3. But even with the mini-games and ability to replay the levels, I'm not 100% sure how much of an interest the game will hold. I wonder if after 2-3 days with it even the kids will get bored. For that, I say renting it is the best bet.
