1.0 out of 5 stars This game is not worth a dime!, March 11, 2005

Seriously people... this game is horrible. It's a series of 8 games that are very simplistic and BORING. Your typical flash game on the web is better. The graphics in-game are not that great. Even my 3 and 5 year old Incredibles Fans were bored after 5 minutes."Daddy Turn it off this isn't fun!" was all I heard. Man, I wasn't expecting much but this is about 2 days of programming effort, Not even a day of 'design' and some cut scenes. Sorely disappointed in this one. If I could return it, I would. AVOID!

What you get: 8 basic 'single task games' such as:
-Help Mr. Incredible get in shape by pressing the spacebar at the right time (boring)

-Help Dash get to the front of the class and put tacks on the teacher's chair. (for one.. do I want my kids doing that? There would have been better things to show)

-Help "mom" catch dishes as they fall. (oooo How EXCITING)

It's too painful to go on. This is pure license abusing crud.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally dissapointed, July 26, 2005

My daughter and I loved The Incredibles movie so we were really looking forward to playing the computer game. What a disappointment! The game is totally frustrating-there are not enough places to save the game, so you have to do the same things over and over again. We got about halfway through and put it aside. Every once in a while we go back to it and decide all over again that it's not worth our time. We've played all three of the Harry Potter games and find them to be much more fun than this was.

I have to agree with the other review, I bought it from another store cheaply as the case was damaged and was sorely dissapointed even for the price I paid.

There are a limited number of very basic games that have been crudely fit into the Incredibles theme. Not much thought has gone into this product.
