I watched my six-year-old play this game for the better part of 30-minutes and she seemed to enjoy it, which is a miracle amount of time for her attention span. When the levels end, the tally of goodies is gauged and it’s onto the next level! Again, this is made for young gamers in mind, probably around 5-9 years of age, so it’s a perfect blend of awesome and simplicity. You can’t honestly ask too much of young gamers when it comes to this type of gameplay. Outright Games knew its audience and didn’t press putting anything incredibly sophisticated or complicated as a gaming goal. It’s a weird ‘high score’ sort of goal from level to level (very old school). Along the way, Scrat finds jars and boxes full of life and crystals that add to his total by the end. Scrat runs around collecting fragments of crystals while fighting off simplistic baddies on a multi-tiered set of levels. The game just needs a reason to put this squirrel in motion, and it doesn’t disappoint with providing an off-the-wall reason that isn’t some deep Death Stranding-like web of complication.Īnyway, the crux of the gameplay is a large 3D world that is eerily similar to an earlier form of Crash Bandicoot (from PS1), minus the controls fighting you the entire way. Ice Age Scrat’s Nutty Adventure essentially tells the story of our favorite Ice Age squirrel and his obsessive need to collect nuts and crystal fragments that will eventually equal out to something big, maybe. His very being is entertainment and physical comedy, which makes for a good transition to a video game format with Ice Age Scrat’s Nutty Adventure. The creators of the character seem to know how to complicate things for the poor animal. I think they enjoy the sheer wackiness of the character and the situational insanity the poor prehistoric squirrel finds himself in from movie to movie. I know a lot of people who are huge fans of Scrat from the Ice Age films.
