It's a novelty at first being able to get air and do spins by rocking your iPhone, but ultimately this is not enough, and the small selection of tricks, power-ups or varied challenges makes this one game that you won't be playing for very long.ĭie-hard Ice Age fans will enjoy this for a while, but Scrat's Skate Park is no Tony Hawk's. Sure, it looks nice, with authentic looking and sounding representations of Scrat and Sid, but the gameplay soon gets very tedious. I'm a massive fan of Ice Age but my big problem with this game is that it gets boring very quickly.
That said, its the first one in 3-D, so some scenes - especially the ones featuring dinosaurs - may be a bit more intense. Its likely to appeal to kids (even the preschool set) as much as the first two. Be careful where you land though, because if you hit an ice block it'll soon throw you off your stride. Parents need to know that Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is the third installment in the Ice Age franchise.
Collecting dinosaur eggs or acorns will build up your points score and make you go faster.
All the controls in Scrat's Skate Park are done by rocking or tipping the iPhone up-and-down and side-to-side.
