  • Summary: Super strength. Super speed. Invisibility. Elasticity. These are your powers. Bombs. Bullets. Robots. Lasers. Your enemy controls them all. The only way to survive being The Incredibles is to truly be incredible. From the Academy Award-winning creators of "Toy Story," "Monsters, Inc.," and "Finding Nemo" comes a new movie written by Pixar Animation Studios' Brad Bird (Iron Giant, The Simpsons). The Incredibles tells the story of a family of undercover superheroes that are trying to live a quiet, suburban life, but are forced back into action in order to save the world. The action/adventure game from THQ is based on the plotline of the movie, allowing you to play as all the film's main characters. Live the film's action, adventure, and humor over 18 levels, which are packed with fighting, racing, and puzzle action/adventure gameplay featuring the characters' unique superpowers. [THQ] Expand

  1. A stale adventure game with a fancy name on it. When it could have shined, it was dull. When the chance to kick in and throw some punches comes along, your thrusts are mired with the sluggish controls.
  2. 65
    It nails the feel of the movie and boasts varied gameplay, not to mention features damn funny voiceovers. Unfortunately, sloppy control and tired gameplay muddles the experience.
  3. The gameplay is rarely exciting, quite repetitive and often very frustrating; never a good combination.
  4. Ultimately, like so many franchise tie-ins, it's just criminally mediocre. [Feb 2005, p.68]

    This game just doesn't get enough credit. To me it's one of the few movie games that actually doesn't stink. I think that it's good, and I really like it. Lets start with the game play. This game is fun! I really like just beating the crud out of bad guys, and solving a few puzzles along the way. The story of this game is basically the story of the movie, with a few parts never seen before, such as when you chase Bomb Voyage for the first three levels of the game. While there are a few moments in those levels that are also from the movie, most of it is very different. Also, when Mr. Incredible is fighting through a burning building, he finds out exactly what's causing it to burn, but that would be a spoiler. The only thing really wrong with this game is the graphics. The graphics are alright, but they do look really weird. They look like the movie, but not in the way people would like to think. This game would be a good game to try for anyone, especially people who love the movie like me. Expand
