Madagascar 3: The Video Game

There is a strong emphasis on teamwork in this game. Players will play as one of several different animals at a time, and must switch between these animals in order to solve a variety of puzzles. The game can also be played cooperatively with two players, allowing each one to take a hand in completing the puzzles. While the storyline is somewhat disjointed and rushed at times, the sense of togetherness and teamwork is solid.

This game is very accessible. The bulk of the gameplay consists of players running around different environments, collecting items, and following prompts that appear on the screen. Even players who may have difficulty getting from point A to point B will be helped by the continuous flow of voice-over narration that helps guide them through each level. The mini-games that are interspersed between the platform-jumping levels of the game likewise require only very basic controls and reflexes. The game is driven by a story, and the gameplay mechanics serve mainly as a means of advancing the story rather than trying to stump or challenge players.
