Cheat Code Central

Madagascar Katz is a perfectly solid kart racer, and it is definitely not the "cash-in" that I was expecting it to be. Though parents and young kids will probably pick this title up based on its name alone, they are actually in for a treat, as the game behind the license is actually quite good. Although the game's difficulty may be a turn-off for some younger or inexperienced players, I found the game as a whole to be very refreshing.

But as long as you keep your expectations in line with it's $30 budget price, it's a pretty decent way to spend an afternoon, especially with kids. [Jan 2010, p.77]
