Customer Ratings & Reviews

This had to be one of the best movie tie in games I've played. It really didn't seem like one of those "rushed, last minute" kind of games. There was some actual thought into making this game and I was surprised how fun it was. Basically, it follows the story to the movie almost exactly, except it's been extended for game play purposes. Every level of the game starts off with Cave paintings to tell the player about what will happen in the level before they start. Sid and Diego will be telling Peaches (see the movie and you'll know) about events in the movie. In the beginning, you mainly play as Sid, but you get to play as Manny and Diego once. However when you get underground, you will almost always play as Buck. These parts I really enjoyed because there was a lot of thought put into making Buck a playable character. He has the most abilities and his portions are really fun to play. However, "Rudy's tooth" has been replaced with a whip, but you also get a bunch of other weapons. Now, the one thing that I enjoyed most about the game is the fact that there were trophies. This was really interesting to me because I've never played a "Tie-in" game that offered trophies before. Sure, most of them are given for just beating the level, but it's cool to actually put some challenge to getting the more valuable ones. I think kids would really enjoy getting a trophy for playing the game. Now for the complaints...First off, sometimes in the game, there will be certain objectives that are frustrating to get to. And another slight problem...some of the trophies are for finding crystals, but sometimes, they are really hard to find. One of them was right in front of me, but I missed it because the Camera's angle was aimed at a rock. What I'm about to say isn't really a complaint, but it's worth mentioning. The game is a lot like Crash Bandicoot Warped. You have the sections where you run away from Dinosaurs, hunt for crystals, and go through other scenes that seem very familiar to that game. This isn't bad at all, just interesting how it works. Overall, I really enjoyed this game, and any fan of the movie should pick it up.
