Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

This game was visually equal to the film itself, included a wonderful retelling of the movie's plot without too many major spoilers, and was overall a good adaptation of film to game. However, the game itself was much too complicated for my 6/yo to navigate on his own, without constant supervision and the reading of instructions, so I would not recommend this as a game for very small children if only for the difficulty. I myself was able to make it through and defeat the entire game within 4 hours and was a little disappointed at how short it was. The gameplay was pretty much what I expected - simple to navigate/control the characters. It implemented a purchase system where collecting berries for trade meant you could buy upgrades for the weapons and unlock extras, but I didn't find any of it particularly worthwhile. I would say this game would be great for kids from ages 8-13 years, or if you want something fun to do as a time-killer, it's a nice excursion for adults as well!
