Ice Age: Continental Drift Movie Tie-In Announced

Ice Age: Continental Drift Movie Tie-In Announced

Chase that acorn with full Kinect compatibility

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 25 April 12 at 23:53

In a move that will surprise literally no one, Activision has announced a movie tie-in game for the upcoming movie from Blue Sky Studios, Ice Age: Continental Drift. The game won't follow the story of the movie precisely, but rather will offer a competition made up of different events for you to take part in with friends and family.

When their island is set adrift in the midst of continental upheaval, Manny and the herd encounter a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates with a secret treasure. Having trouble deciding on how to split the treasure evenly, they collectively decide to settle the problem through a series of off-the-wall sporting events including ski jumping, ice smashing, and glacial hopping. Ultimately, the winner of the most events will be entitled to the prize. As the prehistoric games begin, players must side with Manny and the herd, or the seafaring pirates to determine the fate of the riches.Ice Age: Continental Drift -- Arctic Games will be a Kinect exclusive and will allow you to play as many different characters from the franchise's (now) four films, but beyond that, Activision was light on the details. Expect more as we approach this summer's release of the movie and game.

Gotta love movie games. I'm sure this will be a quality title and not a boring collectible fest at all.

It could be good, it could be terrible. As long as its not as bad as Motion Sports then it has a chance.

This is good. one game of launch KINECT games I never feel it didn't belong. And that KINECT JOYRIDE. But it next game will go where it fit. But this one should not tie in the movie. But as a ice age muchaindies. And make other one with KINECT surport. But used the controller. So every kid in the world have a ice age game to play with.

Probably an easy 1000G but too bad it's tied to the Kinect.
