This is a great set, its a snowy landscape (Ice Age, ice….snow, understand? ;)
with various animals in it like a Mammoth (thats a great one, very VERY cool), a deer (a reindeer), a wolve and a Prehistoric Rhino (dunno how to say the real name in English), all of them have a (little) animation in ‘em, wich is very well done. I also looove the trees in the back, some with snow, some without. Also, there are some cave paintings, a cave man, and a small hut.
The background is too simple, only a blue tile, that could have been done better. Also the mountains in layer 7 are simple and the ground is a bit simple too.
But, concluding, its a great tileset with some simple things (background, normal ground) in it, but also very beautiful/funny/cool things in it (all the animated animals, the trees).
Absolutely a Download Recommendation (is that spelled ok?).
And the rating.. uhmm..8.2 I guess, ain’t sure…
@SSJ, man I hate overrating, so I will definitely dont do it myself, but everyone has his own opinion eh? :)[This review has been edited by Piccolo aka SoulFire]

Description
Well, this is an ice age tileset. It hasn\‘t got anything to do with the movie though. I started working on this long before I heard of the movie…

Good tileset… unlike the other tilesets, this one doesn’t have SUPER detail put into each tile, which makes it look very cool :)
Basically… what Piccolo said.
I say 9/10.
Download?
Yes!!!!!

Howly!! A 8.2 and a 9…are you guys lost your mind!? I think thats a bit too high for this Tileset. My self I would rate it a 7.7, let me explain why: First of all, the Tileset is just too simple. The Tileset looks like Its made in MSPaint(Maybe it actually does). There are also a few animations in the Tileset which I actually didnt like it at all. There is even no ‘good’ eyecandy, I dont call some trees and falling snow ‘eyecandy’, maybe the falling snow only ;) I think you should remake this Tileset and add some colors to it. Also make a textured background of course, dont forget about the eyecandy, maybe some snowy mountains would be fine. But for now Ill give this a 7.7

Nope, we are don’t lost us mind.
I like this set. I see yesterday the nice film, (Recommedation!) and this is a nice tileset. Very simple, but that’s your style. (SSJ! Don’t rate about the prog!) Paint? You see, you can make tilesets in Paint good too (See Mat’s Shrunken Jazz, Subsurfacia and MatBoard). Now about the set. Not much eyecandy.. i must say. The snow’s cool, but i think too much. And what SSj says: Make a textured background , of course! I like the animals very much (A “Fred Flintstone” is a animal). The mammoths are nice :)

An Ice Age tileset? W000pee! I’ve been waiting for one of these tilesets for AGES!
However, I was quite dissapointed when I first looked at the tileset in JCS. The tileset is just way too empty and simple. The snow tiles are grey and dull (but maybe it’s dirty? ;-) and are really boring. The background consists of only one, small blue tile. Blah! The snow isn’t very realistic either. If someone ever used this tileset to make a lvl, I’d recommend them to use the Jazz2 snow in the Objects/Scenery section.
The animations, huts, animals, clouds, the trees and the g00fy neanderthal hold very good quality though. They are all well made and realistic and cartoonic at the same time. Those things are probably the only good stuff about the tileset.
I’m very dissapointed at Ice Age. It’s too simle and boring. Better luck nxt time, Jaws.
For now, I’ll give Ice Age a ‘maybe’ for download recommendation and a 6.
Cheers,
White Rabbit.

Hmmm…..Its hard to rate this.
The set itself looks cartoonish, not much texture. I dont really like the snow, but its ok. Different settings and all that, but some tiles are left out. Some cool animations, but like i said before, the main tiles are missing, which takes a big chunk away from the mark. The color is pretty good, and its ok.
Bah, it seems that I cannot compise a long review on this. Ill just end after the sentence im about to say. The tileset is ok, but its nothing really special, download it if you want, we dont have many ice age sets (But we have tons of snowy sets). Well, my review ends here…..right here…..at the end of this sentence…period…(everyone gasps (simpson ripoff))

hm, I think when you’re reviewing a tileset it’s important to also view the example level if there is one. Sometimes a set may seem too simple but when you see the level it turns out you can do really cool stuff with it…
This is the case with this set imho.[This review has been edited by Ninja Dodo]
