It spans nearly every genre including arcade, FPS, action, platform; there is even some stealth-action ripped right from Metal Gear Solid 2 if you remember hiding in that box and sneaking through the ship, and Madagascar even gives a nod to classic arcade games like Frogger, Simon and the crane game.
-
I'm sold on Madagascar, this game is a blast and shouldn't disappoint the younger audience.
-
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's quite humorous and it's something the entire family should enjoy playing on their Xbox.
-
For the younger kids that really find that they enjoy the movie's characters, this will be a fun game. Without the tie-in to the movie, though, there isn't anything particularly compelling to recommend it.
-
An inspired example of how movie tie-ins should be made.
-
Adults will breeze through the game in a few hours, but youngsters should be content replaying the adventure many times.
-
It has its bad camera angles and glitches, but the good work put into the game makes it more than your average movie tie-in.
-
The fact that the game can be enjoyed by adults (provided you don't mind playing through an extremely easy game) as well as kids epitomises just how strong Madagascar is, particularly as it's a movie licence.
-
Breezy and varied, Madagascar is not a game for the ages, but it is consistently diverting.
-
A pretty decent kids game based off of a movie franchise, which is almost unheard of in the current days of the console.
-
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.
-
Strongly recommend a rent for the kids, a buy for kids that loved the movie.
-
Surprisingly pleasant.
