Madagascar

"Those looking for a good, kid-focused platformer will find it in Madagascar. It doesn't force you through level after level of mindless item collection. Instead, it boasts a number of well-designed levels that feature a variety of play styles. It's nothing extraordinary, mind you, and it's nothing innovative, but it plays well. Plus it comes wrapped in a package brimming with funny dialogue, decent animation and many unlockable extras. Definitely one to rent (or buy) for the kiddies."

"Madagascar is a commendable action game despite the frowned upon 'video games based on movies' stereotype. Even though the audiovisual performance could still use a fresh coat of paint, the diversified gameplay with distinct sets of character attributes leads to an endless amount of fun for gamers of all ages."

"Madagascar is a short but endearing adventure that will be immediately appealing to the adolescent gamers in your household, whether or not they've seen the movie."
