    On the whole, this title is not a burner. One of the main reasons is the boring story about Buck. You can find him in the film, but for real fans, more appearances of the original Ice Age crew would be preferable.

    The problem with this Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs lies in its great linearity. An old style gameplay suitable only by the youngest, or the fan of movie. Technically good: the environments are very different but the feeling of deja vu doesn’t inspire you to get to the end of the game.

    Poor mechanics and collision detection hamper the experience. An excruciatingly asinine mini-game that makes repeat visits throughout the story throws an additional road block up, and its only shameless function is to pad the length of a game that is over in about two hours.

The graphics look moldy and the controls are poor. It is also only 1 hour long. There is a part of the game where Sid (the sloth) throws his purple feces at a pterodactyl. This was the only good part of the game.… Expand
