Click Here to listen to Ladydragon's review

Based on the highly anticipated animated feature film from DreamWorks Animation, 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.

KEY FEATURES:

The Only Game that Lets Players Relive the Film and Beyond — Fighting for survival has never been this much fun. Players control one of four main characters from the movie – Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Gloria the hippo and Melman the giraffe as they overcome obstacles, interact with film and game-exclusive characters, and face off against enemies.

Get Your Groove on as You Go — Players develop new skills as they take the role of each zoo animal, helping Alex double-jump and maximize the power of his claws and super roar; pumping up Marty’s long jump, back kick and stealth crawl; learning Gloria’s butt smash and spiced up charge; and perfecting Melman’s helicopter spin and ammo-throwing neck fling, which he uses to launch coconuts and lemurs.

Rock the city and rule the jungle — Players test their animal abilities as they explore a variety of diverse environments in mini-games and 11 action-packed chapters, including "Manhattan Street Chase," where Gloria, Melman and Alex search for Marty on the mean streets of New York; "Penguin Mutiny," where the penguins overtake a giant cargo vessel; and "Jungle Banquet," where players get the animals ready for the feast of a lifetime.

Collect high scores in bonus mini-games – Players can unlock character-specific bonuses as well as three bonus chapters including "Shuffleboard," where they play as an array of characters in a wide variety of shuffleboard settings; "Tiki Golf," where they golf with the natives on tropical-themed courses; and "Lemur Rave," where they can test out their rhythm skills to cool jungle beats.
