First look!!
The game features over 40 minigames, all set in and around the colourful locations from the movie. A lot of them are the same game presented in a different area, and there are very few games that feel genuinely different to the others. Most involve some combination of throwing things at other players, or running around trying to catch or avoid other characters.
Blu is the hero of the tale, but with up to four players taking part there needs to be some extra faces! You're able to play as other birds, while characters like Luiz the dog and Nigel the cockatoo appear to introduce the games - and sometimes take part!
Rio is an average collection of minigames, but the colourful movie presentation makes it a bit more fun than other games of its type. With more variety and more interesting game types it could have been great. As it is, only massive fans of the film will enjoy it.
Blu is a domestic house bird who finds himself on a wild adventure in the Brazilian capital city of Rio in the latest animated blockbuster from the Ice Age team. But will another collection of movie-themed minigames be enough to make you shake your tail feathers?
There are a few different game modes, but they all use the same minigames so the only difference is the way your score is calculated. They can be quite frustrating as well. Lots of the games get very frantic, or feature fussy controls, so it's very easy to lose track of where you are or miss out on points without really knowing why. Annoying!
