Two Tribes and Chillingo have teamed up yet again to bring us another title to the iPhone, and this time it’s covered with Blue Sky Studios’s movie Ice Age.  While I was an absolute sucker for the Ice Age movies, movie game tie-ins haven’t exactly been my favorite.

But then again, the iPhone seems to be full of great movie tie-ins including Terminator Salvation and more indirectly in Toy Story Mania.  According to user feedback, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs seems to be another great movie tie-in, and the gameplay mechanics seem to very similar to that of Toki Tori.

You control Scrat by tapping on the location you want to go, and you must get to the end of the levels by solving each puzzle.  Being true to the movie, your goal is to recover the sacred acorn that Scrat would sacrifice his life for.  It’s not easy though as there are many obstacles in your way including dinosaurs, sabertooth tigers, and more.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is available now for $4.99, and fans of Toki Tori should enjoy this title.  While it is a movie tie-in, it seems as if it’s a movie tie-in made well.
