In Ice Age: Scrats Nutty Adventure get ready to jump into the fluffy insanity with this absolute lunatic of a sabertoothed rat and embark on some prehistoric adventures. A 3D action platformer if there ever was one, this game takes you around some interesting ancient landscapes with a nice variety in the gameplay. Get ready for some nuts.

Gameplay

Alright, I’m going to come straight out of the gate here and say that there is actually quite a lot to this game. Following on in the standard Ice Age style, the game takes place in the ice age, where not a lot was happening; the game manages to do quite well with this by manifesting a plot that launches solely due to scrat and solely for scrat.

Introducing a simple 3d platform element in first, the game has a nice amount of flavour for making the platforms unique. Moving sections of land make, icy floors and floating jump pads all exist for you to be able to get from a to b in the most interesting way possible. I was surprised by how well this was done and how well it was themed. ‘

The second part of gameplay to be introduced is the fighting mechanic, I’ll go ahead here and admit that this is pretty rudimental as far as they go. You do have the ability to throw items at the enemy but the majority of combat is tapping a single button. For a novice gamer or perhaps a younger audience, this is perfect. For the more discerning player, this may not be the challenge you are looking for. Its akin to the old Ratchet and Clank, Spyro or Crash Bandicoot games.

Gameplay switches up for a few sections and moves to something with a different pace. Some sections have you falling and you need to avoid hazards on the way down, it’s fun and interesting and the game really comes alive there. I really wish there was just more of it.

Visuals

For a game about an old rat, it’s a pretty good-looking old rat. The world is well designed and easy to follow, the world is nicely themed with this odd but interesting alien technology that appears to be scattered about at every turn. Odd, but I absolutely couldn’t say I hate it. Ice Age has a good handle on being whimsical and strange but allowing it to find a solid foothold in this reality.

Story

The story is pretty self-explanatory, you follow Scrat as he attempts to relocate his nut by collecting 3 crystal nuts. I shan’t spoil any more than that and although the story takes a backseat for the gameplay, it still does its job by moving the game along at a satisfactory pace.

7

For a game about the least fleshed out character of the Ice Age franchise, this still has some decent sweet spots in it that provide a good amount of enjoyable gameplay. If its free, give it a go.

Pros:

  • Some great humour
  • Enjoyable explorative platforming

Cons:

  • Would have been nice to play as other characters, or even see them.
  • Scrat handles a bit too heavy
