"... But I was surprised by Rio, the latest movie-game cash-in. Sure, the game will keep you occupied for all of fifteen minutes, but this game does not pretend to be for you at all. From the very get go it’s clear that this game is aimed straight at the younger gamer. And by younger I mean ten and below. Now before you scoff and laugh it off as an educational toy, you might want to pay attention since a lot of us either have kids or will have kids soon, and this game is the perfect way to get them interested in our beloved hobby."

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.
