This is a very simple game and was bought for my 4 year old son. Most of the stages were pretty simple enough for him to do on his own but we ended up helping him on a few stages that were just a little challenging. Finishing each stage gives you an achievement which makes it a great game for those who want simple achievements without working too hard for them.

The controls are very simple and you are helped at the beginning of the stages with what you have to do. The basic controls are A to jump and X to fight and L to move your character.

There are 6 characters to play with, but most of the game is done with playing with Sid, Scrat and Buck (the new character from the movie). Buck's challenges are by far the most challenging one I would think for your younger children.

The multi-player mini games are lots of fun for the entire family but are kinda repetitive so you may get tired of doing the same thing over and over again after a while.

All in all I would say it's a fun family game and truly deserves it's 4 stars.

Absolutely fun! For both adult and kids. My son is only 4 and he enjoyed just watching us play the game. Its still pretty difficult for him to do the controls and I thought he could do this. nevertheless, he absolutely enjoyed watching us play the game. I got my mom into this and she is 62! After leaving our home, she had to buy one from Amazon too for her Wii and is hapilly still playing it :-). There were some very difficult stages but it challeneged us even more to keep playing.
