    On the whole, this title is not a burner. One of the main reasons is the boring story about Buck. You can find him in the film, but for real fans, more appearances of the original Ice Age crew would be preferable.

    The problem with this Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs lies in its great linearity. An old style gameplay suitable only by the youngest, or the fan of movie. Technically good: the environments are very different but the feeling of deja vu doesn't inspire you to get to the end of the game.

    At least this is short so you won't have much time to get bored. [Oct 2009, p.68]
