I recently ordered this game again after losing it. I have been binge playing this game ever since I got it. This game is graphically better than the other two movie games I played before. Voice acting is very good.The areas of Rome, Pisa, Paris, and London look very good. The abilities each character has is very unique.
London felt too short. At least with the other three levels they have the right about of length. This game doesn't feel as fun as the other two games. In the other games, they have a lot of creativity and variety to them. But in this game. there is little to no creativity. The loading screens feel so annoying. After every mission there is always a loading screen. I wouldn't have that much problem with it, but during the circus parts of the levels, there is literally a loading screen after the minigames there. That are only 2 minutes long and mandatory. Remember when Captain Dubois is the main villain of the movie? Well the only thing that she is involved with is just these very short chase sections. That's it. She got wasted so bad. The disguise mechanic in the game doesn't work all the time. I remember there were a few times where I use the disguise mechanic to sneak past Animal Control, but for some reason I got caught. Also the disguise mechanic makes you go so slow. You were already going slow when not using the disguise, but they make you go so damn slower than usual. The AI for your partner, when you're playing single player, is so bad. Literally so many points where the AI literally feels broken or it makes the character it controls go away from where they are supposed to go. Even though there is a New York circus part, there is no New York level. Which is strange since New York is basically their home. They even made Dubois get defeated so damn easily. Yep. The main villain of Madagascar 3, defeated by her own trap. It honestly feels like the New York level was cut from the game and they want to rush it just to finish it.
Overall, this was incredibly disappointing. The gameplay is uninteresting, some of the mechanics aren't good at all or don't even work all the time, and there was hardly any creativity with this game. I wouldn't recommend this at all. Just play the first two movie games if you like.
