ACTIVISION ENLISTS TALENT FROM
UPCOMING FEATURE FILM FOR THE ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS VIDEO GAME

Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen
Latifah and Josh Peck Reprise Their Film Roles in All-New Ice Age Game

The talent from Twentieth Century
Fox’s highly anticipated Ice Age™: Dawn of the Dinosaurs feature film will
reprise their roles in the upcoming video game from Activision Publishing, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ATVI). The game features the voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo,
Queen Latifah and Josh Peck as members of an unlikely herd of prehistoric pals
on a rescue mission across the tundra and beyond as they meet new friends and
discover a mysterious world teeming with lush vegetation and fierce dinosaurs.

“The actors have brought life and
familiarity to these admired prehistoric Ice Age characters,” said Rob Kostich,
head of marketing for licensed properties, Activision Publishing, Inc. “Their
presence in the game brings authenticity to the experience, immersing players in
the Ice Age movie universe.”

For the first time in an Ice Age
game, players take on the roles of multiple characters such as big-hearted Manny
the mammoth (Romano), the earnest but goofy Sid the sloth (Leguizamo), Diego the
saber-toothed tiger, fan favorite Scrat and more. Gamers also get gameplay tips
from the wacky possum duo, Crash and Eddie (Peck), and Ellie the mammoth (Latifah).
Each character features its own strengths and abilities, resulting in a wide
variety of gameplay experiences as players work through more than 15
action-packed levels. Players can also team up with friends and family in eight
competitive multiplayer mini-games, another first for the game franchise.

The Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
video game is being developed by Eurocom for the Xbox® 360 video game
entertainment system from Microsoft, Games for Windows®, Wii, the PLAYSTATION®3
computer entertainment system and the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system. The Nintendo DS version is being developed by Artificial Mind &
Movement.

The console and Games for Windows
versions are rated "E10+" (Cartoon Violence) and DS is rated “E” (Mild Cartoon
Violence) by the ESRB. The Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs video game will debut
at retail outlets nationwide this summer.
