Blob Monster: The primary enemy fought inside Maelstrom when he swallows you are bluish blobs of slime.Theyre much tougher than other enemies, but are slow and can still be stunned easily at range. Bears Are Bad News: Hostile bears are encountered in the first two sets of levels, firstly as polar, then as regular brown grizzlies.The Moeritheriums voiced by Tara Strong were only extras in the movies, in the game they pop up more numerously and even help Scrat by giving him advice or objectives.
Here, Scrat can have a conversation or two with him, and he helps Scrat get where he needs to be in exchange for food. Ascended Extra: Cholly the Chalicothere only had a brief appearance in the second film, being the source of a fart joke.This is true even if youre standing on a 10 cm rock shooting at a bear. If you jump onto any raised object, itll successfully fool them and allow you to shoot them with impunity once you get the ability to throw rocks. Artificial Stupidity: Melee enemies can only attack Scrat if hes on ground level with them.The only example is a trio of bees late in the game, though theyre surprisingly difficult to shoot down. Airborne Mook: Surprisingly rare, even though Scrat is rather well equipped to handle them (see First-Person Shooter below).Advertised Extra: Manny, Sid and Diego are prominently featured on the cover, even though their playability amounts to a small handful of minigames and they spend the bulk of their appearances as NPCs.Tropes featured in Ice Age: The Meltdown: These games have received generally mediocre reviews, although the Wii and iOS versions of Dawn of the Dinosaurs currently hold scores 75 and 78 on Metacritic.
There are also various mini-games, sometimes by Scrat, sometimes from the perspective of Manny, Sid or Diego. They focused on the franchise mascot Scrat, the prehistoric rat-squirrel hybrid on his quest to find more and more nuts at the same time, unfurling alongside the main plot of the films. The console versions of the game were platformers where the player controls Scrat, with the ocasional mini-game featuring the main characters, whereas the Nintendo DS and GBA games are puzzle games where the player uses the three main characters to overcome obstacles. Following the success of the first film, Ice Age: The Meltdown received an Action Platformer game released on all major platforms at the time in 2006 (except the PlayStation Portable). The original 2002 Ice Age only had a cheaply made Game Boy Advance game which was negatively received by players and critics alike.
