Quantcast

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown

Warm globally, scurry locally

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.

Though the personality of the film is soundly imprinted, the game is wholly conventional. Young players will get a kick, but mature gamers should just keep walking.

You'll love
  • Perfectly responsive controls
  • Personality to spare
  • Captures the look of the film well
You'll hate
  • Far too easy and short
  • Not enough variety in objectives
  • Conventional to a fault
