It’s time for gamers around the world to embark on an all-new incredible adventure with their favorite sub-hero zeroes (err... sub-zero heroes!) in Ice Age™: Dawn of the Dinosaurs from Activision Publishing, Inc. and Twentieth Century Fox. Based on the highly advertised and not that anticipated 3-D animated feature from Twentieth Century Fox, which debuts worldwide on July 1, the game allows players to command their favorite movie characters, including Sid, Manny, Diego, Scrat and the relentless one-eyed Dino hunting weasel, Buck, and venture into a mysterious underground world of dinosaurs, while solving puzzles and platforming through more than 15 exciting levels. Anyone who has never played a serious video game before may be able to extract a few hours of fun from what is sure to be a quickly produced cash grab that combines tired simplistic game elements with loose connections to the 3rd movie in a mediocre animated franchise! If you loved UP the video game, the last 3 Ice Age games, or if you still think Colecovision is state of the art, get to a Wal-Mart near you to grab this today!
“Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs allows kids to play as some of their favorite movie characters on their own, or, for the first time in the series, with their family and friends in multiplayer mini-games,” said Rob Kostich, head of marketing for licensed properties, Activision Publishing, Inc. “Family game night will take on a whole new meaning as you compete in hilarious challenges like Sloth Throw, Dino Targets and Sloth Chase using your gamepad.”
Take a look at these features!
The Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs video game takes players on a quest through the frozen tundra to a lush jungle teeming with mysterious plants, fierce dinosaurs, wild new adventures and all-new friends. Offering more than six playable characters (so, seven?), the game allows fans to master the unique abilities and combat skills of each through continuously changing gameplay challenges (sometimes levels have 2 enemies, sometimes three). Every level presents new and exciting opportunities to defeat enemies with Sid’s spin attack, utilize Buck’s lasso to swing across treacherous landscapes, avoid obstacles as Scrat using his wall jumping and ceiling crawling abilities and escape from perilous situations flying on the back of a pterodactyl with Buck, Crash and Eddie. In addition, up to four players can share the Ice Age experience in eight competitive multiplayer mini-games.
