Hi-yah!

We can't fit in the full title

Despite originally being announced for release next week, THQ has decided to release The Penguins of Madagascar: Dr. Blowhole Returns Again! today, 6th September.

The game requires Kinect and has a few sensor-exclusive features over the other versions:

On Kinect for Xbox 360, fans will join Team Penguin as the newest recruit - using their bodies as controllers to react quickly and nimbly navigate hazards and obstacles. Only with Kinect can players engage in "Kowalski's Trivia" and "Julien's Critique" - which uses a feature that enables new recruits to submit their own gameplay snapshots to the fabulous dancing Lemur himself, King Julien.

Is that enough to make you plump down your money today?

Thwart the Villainous Dr. Blowhole, Save the World and Dance With King Julien in the Latest Penguins of Madagascar Video Game Adventure

AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Sep 06, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -

Three all-new "episodes" make up the latest game from THQ Inc.

Success in this super-stealth operation relies heavily on each penguin's capabilities: Skipper's team formations, Kowalski's clever inventions, Rico's explosive tactical weaponry and, of course, Private's slippery maneuverability.
