It looks to be an entire adventure focused on our nuttty little friend, and in it’s own right be an expansion to this universe.Īs you can probably guess, our story follows Scrat himself. I recently introduced my son to the first movie and he loved it, yet it looks like Ice Age : Scrat’s Nutty Adventure on the Nintendo Switch isn’t a precursor to a new movie. When I first saw that this game would be coming out, I am not ashamed to admit that I got excited at the prospect of a new Ice Age movie. Perhaps that is the point: it's likely that Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure exists to keep the franchise present in moviegoers' minds, not to create a great video game experience.Nintendo Switch Developed By : Just Add Water

Although younger fans might appreciate the game's simplicity, Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure will probably not hold their attention for very long.

Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure could have been a lot of fun, but instead, it feels like a poor imitation of Crash Bandicoot that was phoned in by the movie studio as an excuse to have a tie-in game to a film franchise. The camera is a big problem too, often struggling to keep up with Scrat, which is sometimes bad enough to make the player dizzy.

The graphics are okay at the best of times, although they're not up to par with what players might expect in 2019. Although Scrat is moving through landscapes from the Ice Age movies, most levels feel a lot alike, with very little imagination put into them. But this game isn't just simple with its gameplay: its design also seems dumbed down. Although each level has plenty of checkpoints for Scrat to return to if he perishes in his task, he probably won't die much, even when controlled by younger gamers. Scrat has just a few moves, including throwing nuts at targets until they die. Combat is also too simple, with standard enemies and bosses being entirely too easy to defeat.
