Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa Previews

"Madagascar 2 is a surprisingly fun game. The gameplay may be simple, but the variety of your objectives keeps the game flowing at a brisk pace. The cutscenes are really well done, with the oddball idiosyncrasies of the characters providing a consistent stream of enjoyable humor."

"Turning out to be better quality than the film it was based on, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a smart choice this holiday for a game for all ages. The only concern is that the older demographic won’t find much replay value after they push through and complete the single-player campaign so it’s recommended that they’d rent rather than buy if you are in that crowd."

"I suppose a young gamer might get a kick out of this one if he or she is really into the Madagascar movies, but the bland gameplay and awkward structure do very little to provide an enjoyable experience. The best thing I can say about Escape is that nothing seems broken or fundamentally flawed, but that's not saying much. No matter how you look at it, Escape 2 Africa just isn't a good game. You'd be better served by diverting your attention to the virtually countless, fantastic titles that have hit retail in the last few months. Leave Alex and co. on the shelf."

"Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a fun platformer, definitely aimed at younger gamers and fans of the series. It’s a charming, quirky, and ultimately fun game."
