1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!!!!!, March 28, 2009

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa (DVD-ROM)

It took 45 minutes to install, and it sort of runs, but there is a 3" white band across the bottom, some of the menu text is not visible, and the graphics are horribly choppy. Alex's body disappears and portions of the screen black out. There is no difference at all on the lowest graphics settings. (once you stumble upon the hidden options menu selection) Activision had better patch this pooch PDQ or their reputation will suffer.

DO NOT BUY THIS POS!!!

This review is from: Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa (DVD-ROM)

I cannot believe that this game is for sale without a HUGE disclaimer on the cover about the Video card and PC processor requirements. I have been through two different video cards and have tried on three occasions to get this game to work. It does not want to work. What a piece of junk from Activision. I'm assuming they knew of the problems and marketed it anyway.

Sad to say, I agree completely with the other writers. Tried to load this on two different systems. I even reimaged one thinking that it was just too full of junk to run a new program. Unable to run on either one, and I couldn't find any support information on Activision's site. *sigh*
