Game Description

Join Alex the lion, Melman the giraffe, Gloria the hippo, and the entire madcap Madagascar crew as they journey to the African savannah in an attempt to save it from destruction! Play as all your favorite characters, including the wacky penguins and King Julian. Each character has unique combat moves.

The areas of the game have all been expanded, including the Watering Hole, which is now a complete free-roaming area, the Volcano, and the plane crash. Then join up with your friends for twice as much multiplayer fun as the first game!
