DreamWorks film adaptation (Madagascar, Shrek, Flushed Away, etc.). Action-adventure for young players, film-faithful themed levels, accessible gameplay. Decent execution but no personality, target audience is young children. Of no particular interest otherwise.

Is DreamWorks Madagascar still worth playing in 2026?
Adapted from DreamWorks' animated film Madagascar, this action platformer alternates Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria across levels that replay the zoo escape and the arrival on the island, with minigames and co-op. The variety of situations and the faithfulness to the film's humor make it an adaptation a notch above the genre average, accessible and colorful. The challenge stays slight and the presentation decent. For fans of the film, families and young players, it offers a joyful, faithful adventure, pleasant to roam.
