However, to my surprise Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was anything but, and in fact was the complete opposite becoming fun, enjoyable and fully immersive in minutes. Now, I don't know about you but whenever anyone mentions games which tie-in with movies to me, I usually think one thing - rushed, unthoughtful, shaky tools for making a truck load more dosh - and I have to be honest and say, that's exactly what I was thinking when I fired up this. Over the weekend Apple finally approved the title, and now I can let you know how I really feel about this game, its game-play, and of course it's replay value. The game sees you take on the role of some of your more favourite Ice Age movie characters to battle through the icy, barren (and sometimes dangerous) landscape, but let it be known, this isn't your usual movie tie-in. Developed by Fox Mobile Entertainment, Two Tribes, and published by Chillingo, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is a adventure platformer and an extension to the recent box office smash hit Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Scrat and that acorn are the perfect animated example of physical comedy, and their scenes alone are worth a trip to the multiplex.Version Reviewed: 1.0 (iPhone OS 3.0 Tested)Įveryone loves Ice Age, and over the last few weeks I've had a chance to play around with an upcoming title from the million-dollar movie franchise. And arguably the best new character doesn't utter a single word: Scrat's love interest, Scratte, a winged female creature who desires that elusive acorn just as much as her beloved. The only memorable new additions are Buck (British comic actor Simon Pegg), a hermitic warrior weasel who guides the crew to Sid, and the three dinosaur babies, who can't play well with their Ice Age friends (a playground scene hilariously turns into an unlikely feast as the triplets swallow their new playmates). This works fine for Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' 3-D scenes, but in the process the movie loses a tiny bit of the franchise's humor and heart. Audiences already know how the main characters interact, so the focus shifts to the dangerous search for Sid and the obstacles that Manny, Diego, Ellie, and her nitwit twin "brothers" ( Josh Peck, Seann William Scott) face. While the first two Ice Age films were humorous character studies of unlikely prehistoric friends, the "threequel" is less compelling than its predecessors and much more about the action.
