The story game is single-player (with multiple saved games available, so several people can play separately), and includes a lot of basic platforming and puzzle-solving, but also some very creative bits involving the movie's main characters-from Marty the zebra having to kick suitcases into cargo containers to Melman the giraffe rolling a spherical boulder back and forth to squash scorpions and knock other boulders to cover steam vents. There are quite a few mini-games, all of which (I believe) are incorporated into the game and also available from an 'arcade' selection on the game's main menu. The story starts before the movie does-spending an entire (tutorial) section on preparations for the flight from Madagascar, whereas the movie starts with the plane about to take off. There are two ways to play the game: play the story, or go straight for the mini-games. This one, fortunately, doesn't fit that mold. So often movie-based games seem only to exist because every kids' movie and action movie has to have a videogame, and you can tell they were rushed to market because they're barely playable. In a creative collaboration between DreamWorks and Activision, some locations have been expanded for feature in the game, including the Watering Hole, the African Savannah, the Volcano, and others.The videogame based on *Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa *is the first movie tie-in game I've played that would actually be fun to play even if weren't based on a movie. Also like the original game, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa features a selection of mini-games for single players or a whole family, including soccer, racing, rhythm-based dancing, and safari photography challenges.

New characters introduced in the sequel, such as King Julian and Moto Moto, offer their own special abilities and bonuses, and the penguins are back as well.

When there's a need for speed, Marty's the right zebra for the job, and Alex is a good choice for platform exploration, with his special ability to climb poles and vines. Melman has special healing powers, and the ability to toss objects great distances. Gloria can knock over enemies with her size, and she's also an excellent swimmer. Players change characters to fit the challenge. Similar to the original Madagascar game, Escape 2 Africa plays out in a series of platform levels, featuring exploration, collection quests, and light combat.
