Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (Nintendo DS, 2006)

Sierra did a great job with the graphics, and game play. The animation is awesome on this game just like a mini movie, but you control all the characters. You play all the characters of the movie, and you switch from character to character to utilize their own unique abilities, to progress in the game. It is also a race against time, before the level floods. There are only certain areas where you are able to switch from character to character. You may be doing great as Diego the Saber Tooth, but you have to switch to Manny to use his strength to remove heavy objects, blocking Diego's way. Sid the Sloth has his own abilities, so it is a fast paced game. You back track to get the character you need for the specific encounter you are facing, all this while the water level meter keeps rising. The Scrat mini game is crazy and using all the comical antics of Scrat, that we know and love from the movie, it will amuse any Scrat fan. This game utilizes the DS touch screen and stylus, to contol character movements, watch water meter levels and maps to find the items you need to progress in the game. It is a great game for kids and adults, for more information about the game, CHECK OUT www.iceage2game.com, get free wallpaper, buddy icons, game scenes, & highlights
