Pros: Requires strategic thinking. Challenging play. Many levels.
Cons: Lacks originality. Repetitive. Having explored the North Pole in Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age, run a farm together with robots the US in Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie, and saved the astronauts in Farm Frenzy 3: Russian Roulette, Scarlett returns for new farming adventures! This time she travels to Madagascar wishing for an uneventful journey. Of course not! The rare animals on the reservation are sick and there's not enough money to cure them. Scarlett decides run a new farm to earn money to help the indigenous animals. Like all Farm Frenzy games, Farm Frenzy 3: Madagascar mixes time management, simulation and arcade genres. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stand out from other Farm Frenzy 3 games. In fact, it's an exact copy of all the previous Farm Frenzy 3 games aside from the new animals and a couple of new buildings. As usual, you will have to play level by level as fast as you can, working out your own strategy and earning as much money as you can. Depending on how fast you finish a level and how much money you earn, you receive a gold or silver award and a stars you can use to upgrade your farm. Some upgrades are essential to move to the next level, while others help increase productivity. Certain levels require a special building, a powder mill or a bakery. If you do not purchase this building, you won’t be able to play the level. Apart from the obligatory upgrades, there are also other options like buying a faster vehicle that delivers your goods to the market, a larger warehouse or a better water well. You can also get cats for collecting products or dogs for scaring away dangerous orangutans. Every Farm Frenzy 3: Madagascar level comes with a task. For example, you need X number of animals, produce X number of goods or earn X amount of money. So, collect and produce goods, order products and produce more goods. Every Farm Frenzy game requires strategy. If you do not get enough stars, you will have to replay the level. It helps to figure out how to manage the farm to ensure you're fast and and reach all the goals for the level. At the same time, it gets irritating when you need to play the same levels repeatedly. In comparison with other Farm Frenzy 3 games, Farm Frenzy 3: Madagascar has new animals including elephants, buffalos, ostriches, guinea birds and others. Still, the core idea remains the same: you plant grass to feed animals and they give you various goods in return. The artwork in Farm Frenzy 2 looked more polished than the original Farm Frenzy game, and Farm Frenzy 3 graphics surpassed Farm Frenzy 2. As for Farm Frenzy 3: Madagascar graphics, it looks the same as the previous Farm Frenzy 3 games, well done with hardly any difference. Farm Frenzy 3: Madagascar is nice experience especially for those who haven’t played the previous games. Even veterans of the genres will feel challenged because some of the levels are hard to beat!
