Rio: The Video Game is a video game based on the film Rio and was released on April 12, 2011 by THQ, made for the Nintendo DS. An exclusive Nintendo DSi feature is included, as stated on the cover of the game which may also work on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

Synopsis[]

From the makers of the hit Ice Age series, comes Rio, a 3D computer-animated comedy adventure about Blu, a rare domesticated Spix's Macaw who travels to the exotic land of Rio. In this version of the musical video game (made for the Nintendo DS), Blu goes on the adventure of his life, with the help of his female counterpart, Jewel, and a group of wise-cracking and smooth-talking city birds! Players will help Blu and his new friends navigate through Rio, using their stylus to discover Latin and Hip-Hop beats in this unique, rhythm-based adventure! The game also features four fun mini-games where players will be able to party with the other characters from the film.

Gameplay/Plot[]

It features a unique musical platforming gameplay. The player starts as Blu and has the ability to control him throughout Linda's house, following the rhythm and beat of the music. Later on, Blu gets chained with Jewel which grants the player the ability to let Jewel fly, but only for a limited time due to the weight of Blu dragging her down. In the last three stages, like in the movie, Jewel is captured by Nigel and Blu tries to rescue her through the parade. This grants the ability to let Blu fly, but only for a limited time. The story ends during Carnival, but there are cutscenes taken from the movie which explain the ending of the film. Blu rescues Jewel from the plane, is able to fly, and safely returns to Linda and Tulio.

Features[]

Players styles to somersault, bounce, dodge, and more in unique musical platforming gameplay! The tempo also features the sounds of musical instruments.
