As we increasingly see the line between games and movies blur, the new movie spin-off game Madagascar has got to number one in this week's ELSPA UK games chart. This leaves THQ's action game for the PS2 and Xbox, Destroy All Humans! at number two in the chart, and THQ's city-based racing game Juiced at number three.

Based on the highly anticipated animated feature film from DreamWorks, Madagascar is the only game that lets players enter the world of four hilarious Central Park Zoo animals -- a personality-packed crew made up of a lion, zebra, giraffe and hippo. Players must master each animal's natural skills while adventuring through the exciting city of New York and the dangerous island of Madagascar, interacting with other animals and tackling obstacles and enemies in scenarios from the movie and beyond.
