Based on the popular movie franchise, the Ice Age DVD Game is an exciting game of survival that both kids and adults can enjoy. Designed for ages six and older, the game has players take control of Manny, Diego, Ellie, or Sid as they race to uncover hidden acorns. As they make their way across the board, players also play through special puzzles and mini-games on the DVD. Featuring characters and video clips from all three Ice Age movies, this game is a must-have for any young fan of the movie franchise. Ice Age: DVD Game Ages: 6+ Players: 2 or more Requires: DVD player TV Remote control What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Novelty factor: The Good: Exciting DVD mini-games loaded with Ice Age video clips. The Challenging: Ice Age theme might turn off non-fans. In a Nutshell: An interactive DVD/board game, ideal for younger fans of Ice Age. Based on the popular Ice Age movie franchise, this DVD/trivia game offers fun for kids and parents alike. View larger. The game pieces have been modeled after the main characters from the film. View larger. Fun, Straightforward Game-play Ideal for Younger Audiences All of the action takes place on a colorful board with an appropriate, icy theme. The game pieces have been modeled after the main characters from the film: Manny and Ellie (both mammoths), Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and Sid the sloth. The figures are detailed, colorful, and convincing -- certain to charm fans of the movie. Players begin by arranging 24 tiles in a six by four grid at the center of the board. Since the tiles are shuffled and placed randomly, you'll never play through the same board twice -- each game experience is unique. Once the board is set up, it's a race to find all four of your acorns. Players take turns flipping over tiles of their choice, in search of their acorns. Be careful, though: if you flip over the wrong tile, you might awaken Rudy, a frightful dinosaur who will send you back to your starting position. The rules of the game are straightforward, and kids should have no trouble learning how to play. If they're struggling with the written instructions, they can watch the easy-to-follow video tutorial on the DVD. Interactive DVD Keeps Game Exciting The entire game is played alongside the interactive DVD. With each turn you take, the DVD presents you with one of eight mini-games. Ranging from puzzles to memory tests, these mini-games are fast-paced and give the game a digital aspect. Since it requires DVD operation, this game is best played with adult supervision. This isn't too much of a concern, however: the mini-games are engaging enough to keep even adults entertained. The DVD's production values are impressive, and the menus and music channel the spirit of the Ice Age films to the players. It is loaded with clips from all three Ice Age movies, which play periodically through the game. Parents should be mindful that the some of the scenes (particularly those featuring the antagonist, Rudy) might be a bit too intense for younger viewers. For this reason, it's recommended for ages 6 and up. What's in the Box DVD, game board, 24 double-sided board tiles, 5 game movers, instruction sheet. View larger. View larger. View larger.

Great value and great fun by Martin C. Pearce (Seattle, WA) 5 Stars

I have a 4-year old son who is a HUGE fan of all things Ice Age...so buying this for him was a no brainer. Not only does he love seeing some of his cartoon "friends", but also REALLY enjoys the gameplay...It's interactive, educational and requires the use of your memory and focus which is something hard to accomplish with children this young. SceneIt? Ice Age DVD game has accomplished that in spades!!! Now we're even more excited to see the new movie when it comes out!!!

Cool interactive game by J. Turcotte (Seattle, WA) 5 Stars

I had the opportunity to get a test copy of this game, and played it with my kids. I expected them to like it, since they are big fans of the Ice Age movies, but didn't realize that it would be so much fun for grownups as well. THe little puzzles and video clips are cute and definitely make the overall experience more interactive and dynamic. It's a winner.
