About

Play as Marty the Zebra Alex the lion and others in this action packed adventure based on the movie. Each level tasks you with progressing through the story while using character specific skills like Marty's long jumps or Melman's gliding moves. Chapters follow the film's plot but let you revisit them to unlock hidden objectives. Switch between characters mid level as you tackle park city and jungle environments. Collect Life Tikis to stay healthy and Monkey Money for cosmetic upgrades and mini games. The split screen multiplayer lets you team up locally for co op chaos. While reviews are mixed the game shines in replayability with optional challenges and distinct character abilities. Fans of the film will appreciate the direct story adaptation and goofy animations. Released in 2005 it runs best on modern systems through emulation. The penguin sliding mechanics and chili pepper powered hippo charges add fun surprises throughout.
