Embark on an adventure with a young penguin! March of the Penguins is an educational platform game for the Nintendo DS based on the documentary March of the Penguins, which follows penguins as they travel long distances to lay their eggs and breed in the Antarctic winter.
In the game, you play as a young penguin searching for its family. You must navigate through dangerous environments and overcome obstacles while on the quest to find your family. Along the way, you learn more about penguins, but unfortunately, it's not always fun. The game is actually a bit too challenging for young children and a bit too dull for older gamers... That's a shame.
If you love penguins and life in the Antarctic environment, then this game is for you!
