This is the first Ice Age video game to be rated E 10+ by the ESRP.For its final release, the creators decided to remove the 2, making the movie be called Ice Age: The Meltdown, even though most other countries decided to keep the 2. The video game was released as the movie's working title Ice Age 2: The Meltdown because its final release wasn't relieved at the time.Characters (which were shown as bit parts in the movie) are shown usually as adversaries or (in the case of one, a songbird) a guide to the next nut, even though a select number of foes weren't shown in the movie at all. In the game, Scrat occasionally allies himself with some of the main characters, and the player sometimes can play as either Sid, Diego, or Manny. This game has been made by Amaze and published by Sierra Entertainment at Mar 14, 2006.

The game starts off by showing the icy areas where it began in the film and moving onto the woods, as well as exploring regions in the games (such as the bowels of Maelstrom and swampy lands).
