    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.

    The game sports a good story and solid gameplay with unique abilities for the different characters. It's more enjoyable than the first game and good filler until the second The Incredibles film.

    Younger kids that love the Incredibles but aren't exactly skilled gamers are going to have the best time with this game.

    Heavy Iron just wasn't able to quite capture the magic of the original Pixar film and the game simply isn't that fun for long periods of time.

    Rise of the Underminer lacks the imagination, variation and challenge of a game like "R&C," and for that it doesn't deserve any more than the score we're about to give it.

    The sequel continues where the hit movie left off, but the action is constantly marred by repetitive gameplay and surprisingly uninspired visuals.

    Does a pretty good job of capturing the spirit of the film and provies some mindless laughs. Kids will love it too - trust us, we checked. [Jan 2006, p.109]

    It's a short, simple ride. The Incredibles 2: Rise of the Underminer offers decent fun for younger kids, but the action and puzzles won't challenge older gamers.

    The voices are great, the gameplay's not half-bad - but the AI is such an impediment that the fun quickly drains away. [Jan 2006, p.99]

    But while young fans will enjoy this brief two-player adventure, the underground environments and robotic opponents lack variety and imagination.

    While the game doesn't do much in the way of gameplay, the presentation makes up for it.

    The gameplay is utterly basic, consisting of punching and running, but the co-operative element between two players is quite nice. Kids who loved the movie will no doubt get a kick out of this game.

    If you're a die-hard fan of The Incredibles and you're young (like I was when I played it), then you're sure to enjoy this fairly enjoyable, but short romp. The gameplay is simple; you punch, kick and smash through hoardes of mindless (AI) enemies through several underground environments. The co-op and bonus missions add a fair bit to the game and the action is often pretty to look at. However, it is also often repetitive and lacks proper variety. Older gamers will also probably find the challenges and story to be a little too easy and weak. Nevertheless, if you have young un's to keep occupied; this is the game you'll want to get.… Full Review »

    This game offers about 15 hours of gameplay. It is better than the 1st game although this game is more fun when you play it with a friend in 2-player. It will be especially fun for fans of The Incredibles because it continues where the film left off.… Full Review »
