5.0 out of 5 stars Love these crazy Madagascar penguins!, January 11, 2006

This review is from: Madagascar Operation Penguin (Video Game)
The penguins were by far my favourite characters in the movie, so I was ecstatic when I found this game dedicated specifically to them. It came in handy when I got laryngitis and had to stay home from work. The penguins are as quirky and adorable as ever! While I was able to complete the entire game in half a day, it was fun to play, and I was certainly not disappointed. The graphics are very nice, and I did not encounter any design flaws. I also had a lot of experience playing Mario games during childhood, so it would probably take young children longer.

The structure of the game is great for kids because the skills are taught and built up sequentially. There is no frustration learning a lot of new actions all at the beginning because they are clearly introduced one at a time on the earlier levels. The movie storyline is also well incorporated. For those who find completing the stages too simple, there is the added complexity of thoroughly searching each environment to collect all the medals.

Overall, this is a well put together game for anyone who just wants some low key entertainment. It is not overly challenging, so I would not recommend this for a hard core gamer. I was also disappointed that collecting all 1000 medals did not unlock any bonus stages, but it was still fun to have a little journey as a Madagascar penguin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute graphics and gameplay!, August 1, 2006
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Madagascar Operation Penguin (Video Game)
The game, Madagascar Operation Penguin GBA is alot of fun! As an adult, I thought it was fun, a little challenging at times and I was able to complete the game.

My kids, aged 6 & 8, have played with it and they liked it too, they also completed it as well. We hate games where you get stuck and never complete it because it's too hard but not this game, it's a fun game that you are able to complete. It has a save mode where you can go back where you left off. There is no chance of getting stuck and giving up! You know how it feels good after playing & going through the challenges and then you reach the end of the game. Gives people (especially kids) a sense of accomplishment. It's worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but lots of fun!, August 11, 2006
This review is from: Madagascar Operation Penguin (Video Game)
First my disclaimer is that I'm usually pretty bad at video games - even retarded. But I am a big fan of cute side scrolling games where there is a visible start and finish. If there are talking mushrooms, bizarre cute creatures with names only the japanese can pronounce - i'm all over it. So needless to say I love this game. It's fairly easy, doesn't require too much coordination - the only bad thing is that it is short. I just started the game yesterday and I'm almost done. But very cute and well worth the $20. If you like this game, a great game is Klonoa 2 - sooooo cute and quite a long game.

i love penguins. i especially love the penguins of the movie madagascar because they remind me of my four kids. i had surgery recently and one of my daughters thought that her gameboy would help to cheer me up during my hospital stay. this game was so much fun. it kept making me smile. easy enough for kids yet still challenging for the older ones too, entertaining. great game

My favorite characters from the movie have their own game!!! it pretty much follows the movie, but from the point of view of the penguins. it's relatively easy so it's probably good for kids. i've played this game more times than i can count (i can complete it, 100% in 2 hours) and it's still fun every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little Violent, January 25, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Madagascar Operation Penguin (Video Game)
The game is cute, except for the fact that characters get whacked with fish. A little violent if you think about it. My 9 yr old doesn't seem to mind, she is just concentrating on completing the levels.
