Gaming on the Nintendo DS

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is based on the movie of the same name.  I saw the movie earlier this week, so I can tell if the game and movie follow same or similar plots.  I have also tried the Wii version of this game.  That version follows the movie plot, but also has a lot of added stuff at least in the beginning.  The DS version does not seem to have quite as much added stuff, but it is still a good game.

In the game you play as the different main animal characters.  It is mostly playing as  Melman, Alex, Gloria, and Marty.  There are some penguin missions, though.  The first penguin mission is available after the first two levels, which is way faster than a real penguin playing experience in the Wii version.

Overall the game is a fun adventure game.  Part of the interest is playing the plot of the movie, but what makes it really engaging is the little added parts and the almost puzzle like penguin missions.
