ice age: scrat's nutty adventure gameplay

After my whole three hour playthrough (through the entire game!) I didn’t feel a sense of progression or accomplishment, so I thought maybe this is really for the small children.īut then I came to think about my old 3D platformer games such as Crash Bandicoot, Little Big Planet, and Ratchet & Clank. But the experience is nowhere near as good as other kid-friendly platformers on the PlayStation 4. Ice Age Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is a really basic 3D platformer game meant for kids. Volume keeps going up and down all the time, which is really frustrating, especially since there are no settings to change the sound settings. The ambient sound design is unbalanced, some of the sounds even linger behind what happens on the screen. But the overall texture is blurry, and all of the other character models seem unfinished. That being said, Scrat himself has a decent enough 3D character model and texture. The 3D character models, environmental graphics, the overall graphics look more and more like a mid-PS2 title than a late PS4 title.

But there should be limits on what is allowed to be published, especially for kids. I know that I can’t expect much from a video game title based on a popular kid’s animation movie. I’m not sure if I should get started on talking about the graphics or art direction in this game. So it’s easy to say that the story here is easily forgettable, but sadly also impacts the interest of completing the game. It doesn’t take long to finish the game, it took me approx three hours and the storytelling is almost absence after the very first minutes of the game. Scrat has to collect the crystals so that they can once again return to a golden age.

It turned out that Scrat is a part of an alien species which looks like a weirdly looking female and male squirrel. Scrat encounters a ruin when hunting for nuts, the “Scratazon” ruin.

The plot isn’t something they can brag about, as the extent of Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is pretty much that our little hero Scrat has to collect four crystal nuts. Kids deserve video games as well, so why not create a movie licensed game based on a popular kid animation like Ice Age? But the question is, do they deserve this?
