5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!, November 11, 2008

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Madagascar 2 Africa (Video Game)

This game is awesome. I bought this game with my daughter and we wanted to check the reviews, but there were none. My daughter decided to open it anyway and she played it for 5 hours straight, no breaks. OMG! She says that it's really addicting and that even at the hardish times, she says that it's still fun for a challenge. And just a tip, when you are done playing and want to stop and when you go to "exit to map" or "exit to menu" it will say "every thing that wasn't saved will be gone", when it saves-a hippo's head wil spin on the left, that's when it's saving.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny and mildly challenging, June 7, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Madagascar 2 Africa (Video Game)

This is another decent movie-based video games aimed at the younger generation. Your objectives are multifold but aimed at saving animals in the African Savannah from 'human predators'. You play one of the animals in the Madagaskar crew, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo and others such as the penquins through multiple levels.

The animation and dialogues are humorous. The game play is mildly challenging (kids under 5 might need some occasional help) and has a number of very different objectives. Due to variety in action and gameplay, it is not boring at all. There are mild onjectives like taking pictures of animals/finding stuff around or a path to go to the next objective. There are also some challenging ones such as navigating through a path of scorpions, eagles and deep valleys or chasing human guards away by throwing soda cans at them etc.

There is also multi-player mode (upto 4 players) for some of the minigames most of which are quite a bit of fun. Do keep in mind that these games are aimed at kids under 10.

One bad aspect about the game is the camera angle. It does not change intuitively - sometimes it does, but is very slow. So you end up falling off cliffs or boxes when you try to turn around or go back. could be frustrating for kids. You can change the camera angle with the keypad though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa for the Wii: Jolly good fun!, December 28, 2009

This review is from: Madagascar 2 Africa (Video Game)

This is one of the best video games for the entire family that I've ever seen for the Wii platform. It's a true delight.

Unlike some of the Wii games ties to movies, Escape 2 Africa does not take you though the movie, recreating the adventure from the point of view of various characters. This game has you manipulating the main characters in different challenges ranging from taking photographs to recovering various things the penguins need to fix up the airplane from the humans, to attempting to cure various animal ailments with carefully applied potions, to playing a game of soccer; and many, many more.

There are about 12 different levels in the game, with miniature games and levels in each one. They range from simple enough for a six year old to work, to games that will try the patience of adults. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa packs more games onto one disk than any movie-related video game we've ever purchased. This one was the winner of the video game Christmas sweepstakes going away.

If you have small children and they have seen the movie, by all means buy this game for them. You will be guaranteeing them days of video game enjoyment. I don't see this one getting old for my son any time soon. Neither will you.
