Not bad for kids under 10

User Rating: 3.1 | DreamWorks Madagascar PS2
By jranes121902 | Review Date:
My 5 year old thought the game was wonderful, but our 10 year old found it boring and too easy to finish. He was done with the game within 1 hour, and hadn't finished all of it, just was tired of it, came back a day or two later and finished it, just to say he had.
My 5 year old played it 3 times in a row, loved the characters and the fact that it was so easy to follow. Perfect for his age range.
From an adult point of view, it was way too easy for a 10 year old kid, the music stinks in it, and it bearly follows the movie, almost as if they threw the game together so quickly they forgot to ask what the movie line was. I have yet to find a PS2 game that was this easy to finish, one that my 5 year old didn't have to ask someone where he was supposed to go or what he was supposed to do. I enjoy the fact that someone in my family likes the game, since I originally purchased the product for my 10 year old.
My suggestion if your going to buy it, they better have really liked the movie and be well under 10 years old.

    As most of us have learned, games based on movies are not quite good. And Madagascar came to prove that point. I don't want to seem harsh but this game is not well developed, it seems as if the developers were in a rush... Read Full Review
