The Incredibles

Summary: Just like the movie
Review: Graphics:
The cut scenes are just like the movie.
One thing that makes Pixar animations different to the usual children's animations is that they are created with computer graphics only. Maybe this is why the movies tend to make such a smooth transition to consoles and look excellent every time.
You do need a pretty good computer to run the game. Seems to work fine on my P4 with a Geforce 2 card.

Controls, gameplay and etc.
Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl have straightforward kick/punch levels, daughter Violet's levels us powers of invisibility. On the whole the game handles well and manages to stay fun for the most part. No problems installing at all. You do need to play with disc 2 inserted, that might confuse some people.

Sound: Sound fx and characters from the movie are in the game so the voice acting is alot higher than most games.

If you liked the movie, you should like this game.

Summary: Incredibles won't run on XP
Review: Software producers who release buggy software early, just to get it on the market before Christmas, should be boycotted. I have wasted a lot of time trying to get the Incredibles loaded on my daughter's XP system. (All her other new Christmas computer games work fine.) DOWN WITH THQ!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Could be better, and it's buggy
Review: The characters are a little difficult to control, so that could be better, but I can live with it. The real problem is that this game has been freezing up on me on my Windows XP system. Checking some of the tech support forums on the Web shows that some other people have been having the same problem, and that THQ is investigating.

Summary: Annoying
Review: This is another of those annoying games where you have to try over and over and over until you get it right. The book says you can save your progress at any point, but you can't. You restart at a checkpoint. If you exit the game and come back, you have to restart the level. The game crashed frequently in Win XP, but I switched compatibility to Win 98 and it's working better. Graphics are good, but the constantly changing viewpoint is really annoying. The Dash level was good, but now I'm stuck on Mr. Incredible trying to jump on a ledge. I make it maybe 1 in 20 tries, only to get killed afterwards trying to find where to go.
