ice age scrat's nutty adventure collectibles

A race that requires him to collect four crystal acorns so that he can transcend Earth and join them. Upon entering this strange location, with its odd writing and even stranger statues, our squirrely hero learns that he’s part of an otherworldly race. This time, it falls into a Scratazaon temple.

Things begin again, as they often seem to, with Scrat losing his precious acorn.

It is, however, quite a bit better than your average kids game, and deserves some credit for that. Now, don’t get me wrong: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is not a children’s masterpiece. Now that I’ve finished it, I must also admit that I was kind of, sort of, wrong. I’ll admit that, when I took this review on, I expected it to be another casualty based on having not heard it was in development, the non-existence of a new movie and not knowing much about the developer. I had the chance to go hands-on with the Xbox One version of the game and, now that I’ve finished its somewhat short campaign, I’m here to share my thoughts.īy now we’ve all heard of the ‘licensed game curse.’ By that I mean the mixture of greed, limited budgets and rushed development time that has historically been responsible for more duds than winners when it has come to games based on movies, TV shows or superheroes. He’s done so in Just Add Water’s Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure, which was released onto Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC and Switch. I’d honestly planned to watch the first one, back when it came out, but just never got around to it.Īlthough there’s no new movie on the near horizon, Scrat has surprisingly returned in video game form. At least that’s what I’ve gathered, as I fall into what seems to be a minority of people who have never watched more than a couple minutes of any of the animated Ice Age films. He’s the almost instantly recognizable saber-toothed squirrel, who acts as comic relief throughout the movies, due to his own greed and stupidity. Hell, this is probably true of anyone who’s watched one’s trailer. If you’ve seen any of the Ice Age movies, then you’ll know who Scrat is.
