3.0 out of 5 stars Almost Incredible, November 20, 2004

This review is from: The Incredibles (Video Game)

This game goes a long way in capturing the look and feel of the movie, but falls short of being truly incredilbe on a few counts. First the good. The graphics are very colorful and the characters look very similar to their movie counterparts. There are quite a few movie clips spread across the play time and they look very near DVD quality. The graphics make this game come alive and they're supported by a lot of voice acting from what sounds like the original actors.

The game puts you through stages where you play as one of the four Incredibles. Just like the movie, they each have unique powers and you have complete control of them. Luckily, the game takes time to familarize players with controls with on screen messages. This is helpful not only for younger players but those of us who don't pick up on these things right away.

The leves are varied and closly follow the films story. You get to navigate the rooftops, a burning building, an isolated island jungle and a suburban hometown all in the first couple of stages. So there is lots of variety. The problems arise with collision detection and camera. Many times I jumped right towards ledges and swinging ropes only to fall to my doom. Mr incredibles punch lurches his entire body forward just enough to get whacked by the bad guys he was trying to hit or to fall off ledges. Dash requires expert timing on jumps or else you lose a life. When I got stuck on a level (which was often) it was for reasons like these and not because I was trying to solve a puzzle or that enimies were hard to beat. These kinds of slowdowns are very annoying and quite unforgivable in this day and age.

The game is rated T. And I guess that is for the violence of throwing bombs and punching people, but the games violence is right on par with the films violence. If your kids weren't disturbed by the film they should be fine with this game as well.

The game does a god job of balancing difficultly with fun and accessibility. Gamers of all ages can enjoy this game, but the very young and the most experienced gamers will probably feel left out. There's no denying the games fun factor, but it's sloppy execution in a few key areas stops it from being as incredilbe as it could have been.

4.0 out of 5 stars If I rated this, Everyone, December 28, 2004

A Kid's Review

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Incredibles (Video Game)

ESRB rated this T? Ignore them! But the game's fun and very addictive and hooking and enjoyable but one thing messed it up. IT'S SHORT! I had played about 4 hours and am on level 8 of 18! Although some levels tend to stump people. Each Super has their own powers. Controls are like other games in the Action/Adventure genre. So they're not too hard to learn. I haven't seen the movie, but I'm sure this is like it! If you want a fun, family game, this is your game waiting for you to pick it up out of the GameCube section. There's a variety of department stores that have it! But if you like hard, long, challenging games, get Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun but short, July 25, 2006

This review is from: The Incredibles (Video Game)

The Incredibles movie was a pleasant suprise, featuring lifelike characters, well animated fight scenes, and an interesting story. The game follows closely to the movie, with a few additional easter eggs.

First, the good: The Incredibles game has fun gameplay, good overall graphics, multiple cut scenes, and a nice ammount of replayability. The only problems with the game are that, first, the game is very short. There aren't many levels, and they aren't very long. A good player can beat the entire game in less than a day, but it will probably take a new player around a week. Most of the length is caused by some hard sections, such as the first two Omnidroid battles and places where the game makers didn't make it easy to grab a rope or something. The game is heavily scripted, making it easy to predict what you will have to face next.

The final problem is that you barely spend any time playing as Dash or Voilet. Dash has two levels, and Voilet only has one. The game has a very fun bonus feature you can unlock about halfway through the game, called Battle. In battle, you choose either Mr. or Mrs. Incredible, and battle seemingly endless waves of enemies.

All in all, The Incredibles is a short, fun game that is worth a rental, but you should think about it before you buy it.

Thanks for reading, bubba"samus"
