  1. Next Level Gaming
    90
    It stars popular characters, makes good use of music and sound effects, and has a lot of gameplay variety. Add those things together with some nice looking graphics, and you've got a solid title.
  2. IGN
    79
    The game delivers a fairly conventional adventure packed full of collect-a-thons and tried-and-true, been-here-and-done-that challenges. But it does them well. Control is tight, levels varied, and there are some genuinely funny moments.
  3. Cheat Code Central
    76
    Hardcores will probably turn their collective noses at the collecting element but the platform elements are challenging and fun. There's no way you won't get a laugh out of this game.
  4. GamerFeed
    70
    The game scores better than expected because it carries over the personality of its material, and also mixes in a little variety during the game to keep things a bit lively.
  5. Games Radar
    60
    The sporadic and rote boss battles don't ooze as much personality - sitting back and shooting rocks at eyes on stalks as they open isn't exactly epic - and none of the grunt henchman, from reptiles to rhinoceros beetles, provide any combat challenge against Scrat's surprisingly powerful kicks and frantic tail-smacks.
  6. Official Xbox Magazine
    55
    So even if The Meltdown doesn't aim high on the innovation scale, it accomplishes just enough, well ebough, for a few hours spent on the couch with tweenie Ice Age fans at the next family gathering. [May 2006, p.74]

    Instead, try teaching them to spell 'soulless merchandising opportunity' because this isn't a worthy companion piece at all.
