4.0 out of 5 stars Faithful to the movie, November 7, 2004

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Incredibles (Video Game)

The Incredibles is an awesome movie, and just watching it you can see where the video game was coming from it (Dash's mad run through the forest was great). The GBA version of this game is faithful to the movie, with stills from the movie along with written dialogue (no voices here unfortunately). You get to play as Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Dash, and even Frozone. The animation is good. Unfortunately, the gameplay is pretty tedious. It's basically a button-masher only. Mr. Incredible moves incredibly slow. Frozone does better, though his part is a minimum. Elastigirl and Dash have good responses, but it's all basically a "here comes a bunch of bad guys/machines, now beat them up". Also, the music gets old quickly, as it sounds like 8 measures of the same song looping continuously. Luckily you have the option to kill the music, so plan on using it.

Unfortunately, there's no save option on this either. It relies on the old tried-and-true method of passwords to keep track of where you are. Keep a pen and paper handy when you play (or get the passwords off the internet and skip right to where you want to play).

All in all, this is a fun GBA game in small doses. I don't think it's going to win any awards for gameplay, but if you're a fan of the movie, this is a great way to pass the time. Mildly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Game falls short of expectations, December 9, 2004

By 

Andromeda (VT) - See all my reviews

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Incredibles (Video Game)

To tell you the truth, I was very disappointed by this game. The gameplay gets really repetative very quickly, and the plotline is the same as the movie so there's nothing new. The inability to play as more then one character at a time is very annoying, especially since the whole movie revolves around family. The levels with Violet are the worst, because she can only go invisible for short amounts of time, and the levels with Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl are relatively boring. Basically, there isn't much substance to the game other than beating up the same type of bad guy again and again. Save your money for when the movie comes out, and don't buy the game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good Movie, Bad Game, December 4, 2004

A Kid's Review

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Incredibles (Video Game)

Yo this my review. I actually own the game and isn't any fun. This how it works. You start out doing some crime work and that's what you do all of this game. They could have at least made it more intresting. I will give a list of ups and downs and they are,

UPS

It goes along with the story of the movie

DOWNS

Do nothing but fight in the game and you don't do anything else

Game is short

Keep a list of passwords

No one really speaks in the game

Game is very boring

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!! YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR MONEY!
