      2005 hit �Madagascar,� 
      and is the first title Glu has developed and published with DreamWorks 
      Animation.
    
    
      �The Glu team has worked hard to bring �Madagascar: 
      Escape 2 Africa� to life in a mobile game 
      that retains elements of the movie, but has a unique storyline and game 
      mission unto itself,� said Jill Braff, senior 
      vice president of global publishing, Glu. �We�ve 
      had a great experience in working with the team at DreamWorks Animation

      In the game, Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and

      roar into action playing as both Alex the lion and Marty the zebra 
      charting a course for a side-scrolling African adventure.

      delivering the unique humor and adventure of �Madagascar:
