Glu Mobile announced today the global launch of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, a mobile game based on the DreamWorks Animation SKG animated film, which opens in U.S. theaters on November 7, 2008. In the game, Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo all return to action in their latest outing.

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