Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Based on the highly anticipated, star-studded animated feature film from DreamWorks Animation, Madagascar is the only console 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--and their crafty penguin sidekicks. 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.

• Get in touch with your animal instincts: Fighting for survival has never been this much fun. Play as the main characters from the movie--Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe--as you take on obstacles, interact with characters, and face off against enemies. In bonus chapters, play as different characters--from lovable lemurs to crafty penguins.
• Rock the city and rule the jungle: test your animal abilities in mini-games and 11 action-packed, movie-based chapters including "Manhattan Street Chase," where you search for Marty on the mean streets of New York; "Penguin Mutiny," where the penguins overtake a giant cargo vessel; and "Jungle Banquet," where you get ready for the feast of a lifetime.
• Collect high scores in bonus mini-games: take on three bonus chapters including "Shuffleboard," where you play as an array of characters in a wide variety of shuffleboard settings; "Tiki Golf," where you golf with the natives on tropical-themed courses; and "Lemur Rave," where you can test out your rhythm skills to cool jungle beats.
• Get your groove on as you go: Develop new skills as you take the role of each zoo animal during the game. Help Alex maximize the power of his claws, roar, and pounce; get Marty to pump up his long jump, back kick, and stealth crawl skills; utilize Gloria’s butt smash and spiced up charge; and perfect Melman's helicopter spin and ammo-throwing neck fling. (The ammo we’re talkin' 'bout here includes coconuts and lemurs, thank you very much.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun for a 6 year old, November 5, 2005

This review is from: Madagascar (Video Game)

This was our first Xbox game and we loved it. My 6 year old daughter and I can play it together. It was difficult enough for her to find it interesting, but not too hard to get through the whole thing. She still goes back and plays each level over and over. Even my 3 year old loves the mini games like the shuffleboard game and the minigolf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun , But Easy, July 9, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Madagascar (Video Game)

Madagascar is very fun, but pretty easy. It should be rated E instead of E10.There are pretty cool moves, like Marty's long jump, Gloria's butt bounce, Melman's Helicopter Spin and Gloria's Hip Check.There are 11 levels,I got to the last one on the second day,plus minigames like Tiki Minigolf , Shuffleboard and Lemur Rave.If you are a beginner, it might seem a little hard, but if you are an expert like me, it's EZ.

This review is from: Madagascar (Video Game)

I bought this game for my great-nephew for his sixth birthday. When his father called me to thank me for the gift, I could hear my great-nephew laughing in the background and talking back to the animals on the screen. He even told his Grandmother that she would like the game, but that she would have to start at Level One since that was the easiest level. He has advanced up to the final level now and loves this game!!
