 Are you kidding me? July 11, 2010
Bob Emmerich (Lawn guyland, NY)
So far the only part of this game that matters to my family is the lack of save files. This game lets you race five different ways and win badges BUT there is no way to keep track of races or badges for different people. THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE! This game, as a kart racer, is made for multiple people to play, but not being able to keep track of each players games makes the game broken in my mind. Neither of my two sons wants to play this now, and I don't blame them. Activision and Dreamworks should be ashamed of themselves.
Pretty good family game! June 6, 2010

The one thing I like best about this PS3 game is it's more of a family game. The one thing I've noticed about PS3, it certainly has a rather large void of games the whole family can play (or at least watch in my toddler's case) but this fits the bill. It's a fun game, not quite mario go-karts fun, but still fun! The comments the characters make while driving are cute, too. I however probably wouldn't pay more than fifteen bucks for this game. The amount of play time isn't huge.

This was fun for my 4 year old. She adores the madagascar characters and it was fun for her to see them on a wii game and pick which character she wanted to have. Do not try to compare this to mario kart or you will be disappointed. The concept is the same, but the graphics are nothing like mario's. You will get to race and unlock characters (like shrek...why shrek?) and unlock race courses. You still get mystery boxes but they are different than the mario karts. Overall, its a great game for the younger crowd (I'd say 8 and under because my 10 year old doesn't like it). You can use the same wheel/controller that comes with wii's mario kart, no need to purchase the madagascar wheel unless that is what you want.

I bought Madagascar Kartz because of how much my kids love playing Mario Karts. They had fun playing Madagascar but it didn't last for long. In the end, they went back to Mario Karts.
My sons like it March 31, 2010
J. Taylor (Sarasota, FL)
My young sons enjoy playing this Wii driving game. They are ages 7 and 4. The first driving game I got them was HotWheels. It was way too hard to steer. Even I have trouble keeping the cars on the track. In contrast, Madagascar Kartz is a fun game for younger children. It is perfect for their skill levels. We don't have Mario Kartz yet so I have no basis for comparison to that.
