There are small moments of something different, but other than visuals, most levels just felt like the one before it.

Because the early levels have collectables that are locked behind these skills, collecting them all requires going back through the levels after unlocking these abilities and that would be fine if the levels weren’t very basic in set up. Lastly is a telekinesis power that allows Scrat to move blocks. Next is a catapult ability that allows Scrat to throw himself through rings to reach further areas. After finishing three of the four paths Scrat gains new abilities. He also can throw rocks (or snowballs in the snowy areas) at aerial enemies. Scrat jumps, has a basic three hit melee combo, a spin jump, a ground pound, and can wall jump. The levels are linear with small deviations for collectables with the occasional puzzle and enemies to break up the platforming. It’s not an ugly game graphically, but sometimes the game looks fantastic and other times the game looks very plain. It is very reminiscent of B-tier, PS2-era platformers. It’s a very basic plot and I will return to it later, but just know there is very little text to read and there is zero voice acting. The plot of Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is basically the unlucky Scrat is sent on a quest to collect some special nuts for a voice from an ancient temple. He is basically a Looney Tunes type character who is the butt of a lot of slapstick jokes.

I was 10 years old when the first movie came out, and while I dropped off the series it did prove extremely successful.But I am still left asking, “Why now?”īut here I am, reviewing the game starring arguably the best character from the series, Scrat.

I mean that as “Why, in 2019, is an Ice Age game on store shelves?” There isn’t a movie coming out and there is only a rumored TV series.
