The Ice Age is ending and our subzero heroes return in this action adventure
video game set in a melting paradise of water parks, geysers and tar pits. Manny
the Mammoth, Sid the Sloth and Diego the Sabre-Toothed Tiger are back and
realize that the melting glaciers will soon flood their valley. With the help of
everyone’s favorite sabre-toothed squirrel from the first movie, Scrat, help
your big friends cross the perilous landscape to safety.
Scrat will dig, swim, sniff, spin and roll his in his never-ending quest to
collect acorns. In the process, he serves as the unwitting hero in the quest to
save the land from a giant flood.
