The verdict
A tiny, cute educational interactive picture book about Ice Age animals, finished in about 5–10 minutes with three trivial minigames. Skip it if you want an actual game or anything lasting.
Great for
Parents of very young children, and card collectors who get it nearly free
Main risk
It's only about 5 minutes long with three trivial minigames, so it feels like poor value.
