Fun, Straightforward Game-play Ideal for Younger Audiences
All of the action takes place on a colorful board with an
appropriate, icy theme. The game pieces have been modeled after
the main characters from the film: Manny and Ellie (both
mammoths), Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and Sid the sloth. The
figures are detailed, colorful, and convincing -- certain to
charm fans of the movie. Players begin by arranging 24 tiles in a
six by four grid at the center of the board. Since the tiles are
shuffled and placed randomly, you'll never play through the same
board twice -- each game experience is unique. Once the board is
set up, it's a race to find all four of your acorns. Players take
turns flipping over tiles of their choice, in search of their
acorns. Be careful, though: if you flip over the wrong tile, you
might awaken Rudy, a frightful dinosaur who will send you back to
your starting position.
The rules of the game are straightforward, and kids should have
no trouble learning how to play. If they're struggling with the
written instructions, they can watch the easy-to-follow video
tutorial on the DVD.
Interactive DVD Keeps Game Exciting
The entire game is played alongside the interactive DVD. With
each turn you take, the DVD presents you with one of eight
mini-games. Ranging from puzzles to memory tests, these
mini-games are fast-paced and give the game a digital aspect.
Since it requires DVD operation, this game is best played with
adult supervision. This isn't too much of a concern, however: the
mini-games are engaging enough to keep even adults entertained.
The DVD's production values are impressive, and the menus and
music channel the spirit of the Ice Age films to the players. It
is loaded with clips from all three Ice Age movies, which play
periodically through the game. Parents should be mindful that the
some of the scenes (particularly those featuring the antagonist,
Rudy) might be a bit too intense for younger viewers. For this
reason, it's recommended for ages 6 and up.
