We received the video game for the Nintendo Wii to review. My first disclosure is that we have been huge fans of the whole Ice Age franchise and own all the movies on DVD. I think we share that with much of America. This however, is our first Ice Age related video game.
So I set up my 9 year old son to review this on our Nintendo Wii. It is rated “E” for everyone so I was not worried he would encounter any frustration, which has happened on some of the “E10” games.
We are not technical in this house. So my son’s video reviews are not very long. And, if he doesn’t care for a video game, you will not see it up here. That means if we do a review, it already has his 9 year old seal of approval.
- Hop, Smash and Dash in 10 wild arctic events including Glacier Hopping, the Prehistoric Plumber, Bob-Smashing, and Coconut Slingshot!
- Battle for Prehistoric Plunder and win gold, silver and bronze acorns – become the Skrat!
- Climb to the top of the leaderboard as you challenge your friends!
- Test your skills in multiple modes including story mode and free play!
This game is a winner per my son. Granted, as I have already stated, we are huge fans of the series. This video game is a great extension of the scenes from the movie (which we are to see this coming weekend). You know and love the characters, and then you get to play as them. The ice games add a different to twist to an already crowded video game world. In conclusion, I asked my son to play this for the review, and then I couldn’t get him to stop playing, that is his review, unstoppable play!
Disclosure: We received this video game for review. All opinions are always 100% our own and honest.
glad this game is a winner, i can’t wait to get it for my nieces! thanks for the review!
