GameFocus: Are you ready to get fleeced by another bland and oft-times broken movie tie-in game? No? Good, then you might want to keep reading. Typically, these titles are hit or miss; and the hits are considerably fewer than the misses. Needless to say, it’s understandable that gamers walk into these games with bottom-of-the-barrel expectations. The latest film to make the jump into the gaming space is the kid’s film, Rio. Does it prove to be yet another quick cash-in or is there a truly an enjoyable experience to be found?

Birds of a feather party together
Rio from the makers of Ice Age is a movie tie-in party game from the same name which includes over forty mini-games using six playable characters, Blu, Jewel, Pedro, Nico, Raphael, and Eva in a brightly coloured action packed Carnival theme. Although also on PlayStation 3 and Wii, the Xbox 360 version has three additional exclusive mini-games.
Given the game’s reliance on competition, it’s a great shame that Rio doesn’t include any online gameplay. Though it offers drop-in gameplay for up to four players on a single system, the only use of the PlayStation Network Rio makes is that of the now essential Trophies.
