  • Positive messages3
    These mini-games are fun and silly at times, but their core focus is providing fun competitions between two players who represent rival teams in the game.
  • Positive role models4
    Gamers can choose to play as familiar characters from the Ice Age films -- including Manny (a wooly mammoth), Sid (a sloth with lisp) and Diego (a sarcastic smilodon) -- and all of them are fairly good role models. While they sometimes bicker, they clearly care about each other's welfare.
  • Ease of play4
    These mini-games are very easy to play, if the Nintendo Wii version is any indication. Each player controls the character on their team to compete in the various winter events. The Xbox 360 version requires Kinect to play the game.
  • Violence2
    There are some minor spills, such as crashing while racing down a mountain, and a few animated cutscenes show a little comic violence, but it's sparse and cartoony.
  • Sex0
    Not applicable.
