Shark Tale

In the murky depths of the ocean, the fate of Reef City lies in the fins of one little fish at least that’s what he wants you think. Dive in to the urban, underwater metropolis of Shark Tale and play as Oscar, a fast-talking fish whose little fib gets him into big trouble. Based on the upcoming DreamWorks animated feature, Shark Tale features 25 funky fresh missions ripped straight from the film, the hottest hip-hop tracks from your favorite artists, and more exhilarating gameplay variety than any other movie game in the reef.

Features:

• Explore: groove through Reef City with Oscar and explore locations like the Whale Wash, the Sunken Liner, and the underwater underworld hideout, Seahorse Race Track.
• Race: Careen through the coral at break-fin speed on the back of a friendly taxi fish. Beat your opponent while dodging traffic and fending off menacing great white sharks!
• Fight: Bust some serious Fish Fu in challenging fighting sequences. Flex your fins, talk some smack, and fillet your opponent with tail slaps, head butts, and dazzling combo attacks.
• Dance: Get those fins up and boogie down. Win over Reef City residents and garner the affections of your favorite ladyfish with your stylin’ hip-hop dance moves. Don’t just talk big swim big. Get in the game and prove you got what it takes to out-fin the evil Great Whites and become Reef City’s greatest hero.

1.0 out of 5 stars madagascar will not install properly, October 21, 2008

This review is from: Dreamworks 3-Pack: Madagascar: Island Mania, Shrek Activity Center and Shark Tale) (CD-ROM)

Don't waste your money on the 3 pack, it is not the deal it appears to be.
Madagascar will not install. I have XP, so I bought this XP version. I feel robbed and am tempted never to order anything through Amazon again. I don't have the time to go through the send it back routine. If I just buy locally, it is easier to return junk. And that is just what this disc is JUNK.
The Shrek is good, Shark Tales is too difficult for the same age group though.
