There are some familiar characters, but they are more so B- or C-List supporting cast that pop up as boss fights. The game doesn’t have anything to do with the original films, outside of Scrat’s involvement. Coming out of nowhere from developer Just Add Water and published by Blue Sky Studios, it’s the spinoff adventure focusing on Scrat, the Arctic Squirrel from Ice Age that audience’s never got enough of. Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is not that game, but it is nearly as fun albeit without the gore. I think the last one was X-Men Origins: Wolverine – Uncaged Edition, the best Wolverine game ever released, that saw players decapitating and dismembering enemies as Wolverine in a way that was never done before. It is easy going, lots of fun and great for children in developing hand-eye coordination and problem-solving and would make a great Christmas present for the kids.It’s been a while since I played a licensed game based on a film franchise. I would give this game four stars out of five ( I only drop the star because of the camera). This can become frustrating at times, particularly during jumping sequences that involved lots of platform-hopping. My only criticism, and my daughters too is the camera which, at times, became a hindrance as it cannot go through walls often leaving you facing the wall if you fell off an edge and every time you moved away reverted back, leaving you running back into the wall again. This pushed my daughter to move quickly and really focus on her coordination and awareness.

The full story is relatively short taking only a few days to get through the story, but solving all of the puzzles and finding the hidden tablets will take much longer (some of them quite a while as you look to find a door you opened somewhere in the map).įor an extra bit of fun (and competition), we timed ourselves on sections to see who could get through levels quickest.
