Madagascar 2 demo escapes to the XBLM jungle

It's a peculiar thing when a demo of a children's game winds up on Xbox Live Marketplace. On the one hand, we love demos. Of that there can be no doubt. Whether demos inform us of a game's greatness or its complete ineptitude, we are glad of the service they provide. On the other hand, it's hard to foster much interest in a Madagascar 2 demo, but we shall do our best. Let it be known that the game features "entire madcap Madagascar crew," ten levels, and multiplayer mini-games. Whether or not the game will be worthy even as achievement fodder, well, you'll let us know, won't you?

Oh, and the game includes "simulated gambling." We all love that, right?

Alexander sure loves simulated gambling. Madagascar 2 just might be the game for him! If he can get away from Pub Games, maybe.

This Demo Sucked SOOOOO Bad. The penguin car part would have been entertaining as an arcade game but the picture taking was ridiculous.
The Lion can't even run. He just walks really slowly upright..
