Screens & Info Updated: 3/18/2005 New screens to go along with our previous first impressions of the game based on the upcoming Dreamworks animated comedy flick.
Information Updated: 3/8/2005 Dreamworks' latest animation film, Madagascar, is a movie about four best friends who live in a zoo in search of one of their friends who go missing. In case it hasn't become clear, these friends are the animals that inhabitat the Zoo. Starring Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith and David Schwimmer, they set forth to find that their friend is en route to the island of Madagascar. Activision, Toys For Bob (working on several console versions), Vicarious Visions (handling the handhelds), and Beenox (working on the PC version) have been tasked to bringing home this adventure across almost all platforms this coming May. While unable to cast the original actors to do the voice over, Toys For Bob has been working with the original writer to flesh out the game's extended storyline. Players will start out the adventure in the Zoo and will be able to control several different characters throughout the game. Some levels will even allow the player to choose which character to use whose unique abilities will allow them to access different parts of the levels. 11 levels will be included, plus several mini-games including miniature golf, shuffle board, and a dancing rave. While we were able to get a glimpse of what is to come, at the time there wasn't a version available to be played. We look forward to getting some hands on with this title in the near future so check back for further updates.
Screens & Info Updated: 2/11/2005 A handful of screens from all versions of the game based on the upcoming Dreamworks flick.
Based on the highly anticipated animated feature film from DreamWorks, Madagascar is the only 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. 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. Features: - The Only Game that Lets Players Relive the Film and Beyond - Fighting for survival has never been this much fun. Players control one of four main characters from the movie - Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Gloria the hippo and Melman the giraffe as they overcome obstacles, interact with film and game-exclusive characters, and face off against enemies.
- Get Your Groove on as You Go - Players develop new skills as they take the role of each zoo animal, helping Alex maximize the power of his claws, roar and pounce; pumping up Marty's jump, back kick and stealth crawl; learning Gloria's butt smash and running barrel move; and perfecting Melman's helicopter spin and ammo-throwing neck fling, which he uses to launch coconuts and lemurs.
- Rock the city and rule the jungle - Players test their animal abilities as they explore a variety of diverse environments in mini-games and 11 action-packed chapters, including "Marty's Escape" from the Central Park Zoo, "Penguin Mutiny" on board a giant cargo ship, and "Lemur Rave" with the exotic animals in the jungles of Madagascar.
- The Fun is Never Done - Players can improve their performance as they replay chapters and unlock character-specific bonuses and cheats.
