This was an incredibly, phenomenally just: OK
3d platformer lmaooooo

sEE LIKE, ok so when i was little i loved the movie so I could actually follow along with this and stay engaged with what was going on because this game actually does follow most of the movie beat for beat.

Its just that for the moments of the movie that're much faster due to being comedic moments or moments that are supposed to be handled in a brisk pace of about an hour and a half movie runtime (instead of a 2 to 3 hr at Most video game). With that being said though, I think this game is just FINE because it honestly does enough to not be considered a bad game

Youll get more moves as the game progresses for the four main characters and weirdly enough Marty is more centered around stealth, Alex is more of your traditional 3d platformer jack-of-all-trades character, gloria is like if wario was a girl and melman is like tails with several unnamed illnesses.

All in all, you get a decent amount of playtime with all of these characters and the only one kind of lacking in solo level missions is Gloria but I kind of excuse the game for that because you get to use her so much during the couple levels in the game that are these big open areas of Madagascar where youre doing tasks to fulfill things like the celebration banquet and the rescue signal.

I think that the graphics are REALLY minimal but there have been a couple times where it does seem like they totally tried to get creative with them. Particularly the final level looks nice :)
The models themselves though apart from sometimes marty's eyessssssssssss....... they look good too! I think licensed games like this, Battle For Bikini Bottom and The Incredibles all get taken for granted for how the character models actually Do look like the characters 1:1
(Probably because it should be considered as the bare minimum LMFAO)

You fight some bosses, do some random bullshit minigame inbetween or segment that's sometimes force wedged into the runtime of the game to make cohesion in its own writing (yeah this doesnt 1:1 follow the movie despite also using the movie as its raiiled in structure... shocking for a game adaptation ik)
the only thign im gonna say on that is just FUCK wilbur the warthog

The game actually wraps up the same way as the movie though but the road to getting there is a bit stranger, I think it really says something though when I found Gloria the most fun character to play while Melman's levels were the most fun levels for me to experience. Alex and Marty are just kind of whatever but i do like their movesets, theres even new characters that get introduced into the movie.

The voice direction is also weird as hell because youll be hearin some random ass voice lines from all of them commenting about each and every little shit particle blowing in the wind when you do something in the game, not to mention NONE of the og actors are reprising their role in this game LMFAO my last notes on that are
1. Keith Ferguson was DOIN T O O M U C H as Julian bitch, Like you could tell by how much he was making his voice BOUNCE he wasnt Sacha Cohen
2. I just now found out that Sacha Cohen is fucking Borat which by extension means Borat voices King Julien
3. i ALSO just found out now that fucking wilbur the warthog and melman (in the game, not ross) are both voiced by the same dude. So he was making out with himself And thirsting over gloria again
4. The entire cast of madagascar wanted to fuck gloria, factual.


But all in all, i guess the best thing I can say about this game is that if you wish Donkey Kong 64 was a functional and less annoying game. youre in for a treat.

And for all this shit ive said babbling into the void about this game, Im givin it the 3/5
