This review is from: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (DVD-ROM)

you have one of the gamepads this game supports. And you can't configure your own button layout either. You can't make it far using the key board and mouse. Once you come to rolling the snowball the trouble starts. You can't switch the camera view which you've been able to do up to this point.
This game is tough to navigate through the menus also. This game wants to be too simple then goes to impossible in an instant (using a key board).
Fun yet stupidly hard at some points.

I took my 8 year old to see the movie so naturally he wanted the game.

He LOVES it! (I personally had some problems with the controls but he is more computer savy than me.)
He finished the game pretty quickly but keeps going back to play it again.
I'd say it's a hit and I was lucky enough to catch it on special for $12.00!

I really enjoyed the game because I actually was able to finish it without too many parts of the game being impossible to get through. I would have liked it to have been longer, but all in all I liked it and would recommend it for anyone who enjoys these types of games.
