  1. Worth a purchase for sure. Obviously younger audiences are going to enjoy the game more than older players, but for any self-respecting Incredibles fan, the story and the teamwork gameplay is enough to warrant a look.
  2. As a children's game The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer succeeds spectacularly. It's a perfect game to plop down your child in front of without having to worry about content or frustration.
  3. The in-game graphics aren't amazing but they are very good, almost comparable to the movie but certainly not as good.

    Pros: Well, it's Mr. Incredible and Frozone. It doesn't get much cooler than that! Co-op play makes for some interesting battles, there's nothing like Frozone freazing a bunch of ennemies that are then shattered by a Super-Slam! There are voice-overs throughout the game that remain squarely in the spirit of the movie. Cons: exceedingly easy and short. Me and a friend beat it in under 3 hours, without breaking a sweat. There are very few ennemy types and the "upgrades" consist mainly of making the same basic moves deal a little more damage. Bottome line: lots of potential but a disappointing product. Too short, too easy and with too little variety (in mission objectives, moves available, ennemy types, strategies, etc). A decent rental but I wouldn't buy it. Expand
