Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Due to insanely limited development time, movie-based titles are usually bombs. The key to success then is either lengthening the time in the oven, or cutting the development overheads by producing for a single platform, such as Golden Eye on the N64.

Developers Eurocom made the right choice by building the title as a platformer that varies as you take charge of six different characters from the movie. Running and jumping your way around a 3D world with Sid, or making your way from left to right with Scrat in 2D, blends well with the game mechanic.

The boost to variety comes from feats such as the Dinosaur chases (similar to Boulder Dash in Crash Bandicoot) or flying the Pterosaur.

The adventure will only last about six hours, which is a bit short, and graphically the game does look very generic, especially when held up to the movie's animation. That said, with the lack of any prehistoric platformers on the Xbox 360, this one is well worth considering.
