2 stars (Poorly Executed Eye Candy) - Originally purchased for a 9yo female cousin. Attempted installation on two of their systems, but picky video card compatibility meant I ended up with it at my house. Good thing. I wouldn't wish this game on any kid. I'm an experienced PC gamer and I lost patience after a couple hours. This game fails miserably in 3 key areas (in order of lameness): 1. "Mouse-look" control is HORRID! It's not true mouse-look, like you point your mouse and then keyboard direction is relative to that. Nope. No matter which direction your mouse-view is pointing the player turns left relative to their static onscreen position. Even if mouse-look control was correct, it severely lags in reaction to your movements and then once it DOES catch up, the movement is like acceleration on the desktop, so it over-pivots. To top it off, when the character is up near/against a vertical surface, you can't pivot your view to look up. You have to move away from the surface to aim at certain objectives. Very annoying! And don't tell me I need to adjust the sensitivity or some obvious "tip". I know my way around an interface. Even a bad one like this. 2. Controls are complicated, especially for a game marketed for kids. It's as if the the PC platform was programmed as an afterthought. The controls are probably straight-forward on a 7+ button game console controller. 3. The game saves are controlling. Good thing I'm a more patient adult, if I was a kid given to short attention spans, I'd first throw my litle sister at the monitor then I'd throw the CDs for this game at my parents. It's pathetic of a modern game to make a player completely start a level over instead of at obvious checkpoints (which there are). If THQ's hidden desire is to control little kiddies into hour after hour of vain attempts at overly difficult levels, they may succeed with this method of game saves. I feel slightly guilty about attempting to sell this junk on Ebay (even wth fair war...

1 stars ("E" rating inaccurate) - We purchased this game as a gift to go along with the Gameboy advance we gave our son for his 5th birthday. We saw the movie and knew there was some "cartoon violence" expected in the game. What was depicted in the first level of the game was far from "cartoon violence". Mr. Incredible is inundated by masked men with machine guns jumping out of doors. In my opinion this is more like "mob violence" and inappropriate for "everyone". To the best of my recollection the movie did not have any REAL weapons. Luckily we always view the games before allowing our children to play them so we replaced this one with a more appropriate one. 3 stars (Too many codes to note) - This game is based on the Incredibles movie. The gameplay is not so fun and somewhat monotoneous. All you have to do is punch all the enemies and go to the next level. This game always tells you a four digits code everytime you go to the next level. I was playing this game for a half an hour and I have a long list four digits code. Overall this game is not so entertaining. But for those Incredible-fans, especially kids, may like this game as completing each level is not difficult and you'll get 4 digits code so that you can continue your game another time. 1 stars (Great Movie, Awful Game) - Paint-by-numbers adaptation, awkward and repetitious...and totally uninspired. Sure it's faithful to the film...but even THAT is a drawback, since the game manages to make one of the most original and exciting plotlines I've ever seen into a kind of crappola silent movie with endless AND I MEAN ENDLESS unchallenging fight sequences. Took about as long to beat as it did to design, I'd wager. ... THQ :: incredibles :: thq :: games :: video :: games :: incredibles 29 october :: 200 :: Incredibles
