The Penguins of Madagascar Dr Blowhole Returns Again

SCORE: 90

The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again on the Xbox 360 mixes two of our favorite things. The first is The Penguins of Madagascar, and the second is THQ. They keep raising the bar in terms of family friendly video games. The level of interactivity in this Xbox 360 Kinect game is astounding. The Penguins are very welcoming to the newest member of their team - you.

The first thing I noticed about The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again is how great the models are for the various animals. A few of them like King Julien do not look right, but others (like the Penguins) have added details I have not seen in the cartoon. There is some mild violence in The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again as players knock over boxes and other such devices. The Penguins use their martial art skills as players punch or kick in certain directions. Please be careful of who may be where you are punching or kicking.

I started to write the paragraph about the sounds in The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again, and could not stop laughing. Why? There is a giant iceberg in terms of size of humor. The voice acting of the characters is fantastic. The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again is voice enabled. The music fits the theme of the missions, and made me want to complete them as efficiently as possible.

I feel that The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again is worth the price of admission. Yes we were provided a reviewable copy of this home console game. I would have purchased this game at some point myself now that I know how fantastic it is. There are enough levels to keep family members of all ages occupied for months. The coolest extra is the dance off.

I have one quibble against The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again. The first time I did certain motions the game was having problems recognizing it. When I did them in the level it was fine. The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again mixes up the physical activity with educational activities perfectly. I found myself sweating after a few levels. So I would take a break and let someone else continue the game while I caught my breath. Every single person who played The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again enjoyed it.

There are some wonderful lessons in The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again. First off, get off the couch and get some exercise. This is one way video games surpass movies and television shows. The Penguins are willing to help others, and they work as a team to successfully complete their missions. I would love to see sequels to The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again in the future.

The most important thing I found in The Penguins of Madagascar Dr. Blowhole Returns Again is the polish and shine. This game is put together masterfully well. I am impressed with the level of personality this Xbox 360 Kinect game provides the marketplace. The apps on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad may be a lot cheaper, but they are also not at the level of quality as games like this one.
