I'm a 33 y.o. mom who recently started playing this game. I do not usually get into games because they are way too hard. This game is easy enough that it is enjoyable to play. I still find myself occasionally having to repeat levels several times before I pass, but it's not "beat your head against the wall" frustrating. The characters are really cute and crack me up. My 8 y.o. even loves to play it. Great fun!
it is a lot of junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is quite fun but you kind of have to really press the buttons and once you finish the game, you can try to unlock mini games. I like this because you can still have fun after you finished the game. I don't like that there are only 12 levels and that you get stuck a lot.

I recomend this game for everyone. It is so much fun. Once you start playing it you will get sucked into a world of adventure. You will really like it every time you play.
Gameplay-10/10
Graphics-9/10
The touch Screen is always in 3d. The other screen is in both 3d and 2d. They show clips of the movie on the top screen (which you will enjoy.) This game is both easy and hard. Until the level Lemur liberation it is easy. Pn after that it gets harder and harder. I myself haven't finished the game yet but I really enjoy it. It isn't a waste of money or time.If you like Madagascar the movie you'll definetly like the game.
Don't Buy

You know that feeling of accomplishment you get after defeating a game? Don't expect it after beating this game. When I beat it (in 3 hours) all I felt was that it wasted my time. All you do is run through levels, collecting coins and dodging obstacles. The only fun things are the occasional mini-games thrown in. This game is a waste of money. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my Nintendo DS, but COME ON! EVEN MY DOG COULD MAKE A BETTER GAME THAN THIS! As far as games, the Nintendo DS will shine later in the year. Some extremely good games are coming out, such as:
Animal Crossing DS
Harry Potter 4
Lost in Blue
Lunar: Dragon Song
Mario and Luigi 2
Mario Kart DS
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Moonlight Fables
New Super Mario Bros.
Nintendogs
Snowboarding Kids DS
Zoo Tycoon DS
Quite an impressive list! Those are just a few of the games coming out later this year. I think Nintendo needs to release some of these RIGHT NOW! The games for DS are extremely limited and easy. All of these games will be released sometime in August-November. What I want to know is why Nintendo has had all this time to release these games, while NDS owners have been rotting away waiting for a good game, why not release some during the summer??? It would be completely logical! Kids, obviosly, do not have school during the summer so they will be left with an immense amount of free time! What are they going to do in that free time? Most likely look for a good game to play! If some good games like the ones listed above were out during the summer, a lot of kids would buy them. But the companies who created the games are being incredibly STUPID and are waiting to release the games when the school year starts, when kids will be busy with school and most likely won't be buying as many games. It's all a matter of product placement, I think these game creators are the ones who should be going to school.
See, what's going to happen is that DS owners will get tired of playing the same old Super Mario DS, Warioware: Touched, or Yoshi: Touch and Go so they'll stop playing their DS. They will forget they even had one, and when all these great games come out, nobody will buy them because they have forgotten about their DS! It's getting ridiculous how much time they are wasting to launch new games! The NDS game supply has been almost exactly the same since it was launched... it was launched in November of 2004!
Another good idea would have been to release some great games when the Sony PSP was launched! Even I will admit, the PSP crushed the DS and Nintendo did nothing to fight back! I used to see people playing the Nintendo DS around my school, now all I see are PSP's everywhere! That's because Nintendo made no attempt to fight back and they paid for it.
I'm a through-and-through Nintendo fan, but it's hard to stick with Nintendo products when you've got all this cool stuff coming out like the PSP (Yeah, I'll admit that it's cool) and Nintendo is just sitting there, doing nothing to redeme their reputation. I, and I'm sure many other Nintendo fans, am starting to feel let down. I'm sure that no Nintendo employees read Toys R Us reviews but I wish they would read this one because Nintendo is starting to lose even the most loyal of fans! If they don't do something soon, these could very well be Nintendo's last days.
I guess I got away from talking about the actual game in my ranting, sorry. Well, don't buy the game.
Not as good as the movie.

Like most games, this game is not as good as the movie. The movie was not superb, and neither is this game ... by a long shot. There are rather repetetive levels, no real voice acting, and very tedious ' missions ' . it didn't seem like the creators even tried to make use of the DS's graphical capabilities.
Verdict: don't buy it.. only RENT IT for a little boy or girl who enjoyed the movie.
It is easy, which makes it great for my 3 & 5 year old boys

I bought this game because my 3 & 5 year old sons loved the movie and so many people went on about how easy it is.
Both my 3 & 5 years can play. My 5 year old has gotten pretty far through the game on his own, while my 3 year old can get through the first few levels, but tends to get stuck after that.
I can see where a child a few years older might finish the game in a few days (or even a a few hours). But for my little ones it is an nice fit.
The game is an okay platformer in 1 player mode.
The game has a mode to share the game between 2 DS consoles. This mode is terrible. It is simply one screen where Marty and Alex jump around killing foosa.
There are no mini games or other features, just the main single player mode and the multi-DS mode.
