It's quite a challenging level, with ice patches and rivers to navigate. This is largely a racing pursuit mission with prehistoric yaks and warthogs thrown in for good measure. Playing as Diago the saber-tooth tiger, you'll get to try and chase down a gazelle. Only once past the initial levels does the game lift itself from being just another movie game to something that has the player wanting to come back and play again and again. It is well done, but low on the children's fun scale. These initial phase of the game is a bit ho-hum, but you get to learn how to balance using the remote, and of course there is the angry rabid beavers to deal with. The accuracy and tracking can be a bit frustrating.
The only parts of the game where they become a bit difficult is in some of the shooting mini games. These are straight forward with the Wii's Nunchuck used for movement. Sid (the lovable-but-thick sloth) is the first of the movie characters you get to play, and this initial phase of the game teaches the control basics. There is a great variety to keep the game different and interesting. Some are simple platform and item collection missions, others are shooting games, while one in particular has Sid trying to roll a bunch of eggs across impossible ice bridges and tracks while playing chicken with penguins. The basics of the game consist of different missions that take the player through the storyline of the movie. The graphics and and game play are pitched just right for the younger audience. Unlike many game-to-movie ties this one hits its target audience right between the eyes with an acorn. Yes, they are back, but what is all this dinosaur business? Did we not have a human baby in the first movie? So how do the dinosaurs now fit in? We won't spoil it, so go and see the movie - we highly recommend it.
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has enjoyed a successful run at the cinemas, so we were keen to see whether the game of the movie was just as entertaining. With this extended bout of wintry weather we’ve been experiencing, you could be forgiven for thinking we are in the throes of another Ice Age… and in a sense, we are.
