Very disappointingThursday, May 12, 2005
I received this game as a gift. My son received the Game Cube version at the same time. I played mine once, he is still playing his a month later. The graphics are so-so. The games themselves are boring. If you have a video game system I recommend that version instead of the pc. It is a totally different game. There are different levels and an ultimate goal. It keeps my 13 year old entertained. If I had had a choice I would have passed on the pc version.

Best AvoidedFriday, April 22, 2005
I have to agree with the other review, I bought it from another store cheaply as the case was damaged and was sorely dissapointed even for the price I paid.
There are a limited number of very basic games that have been crudely fit into the Incredibles theme. Not much thought has gone into this product.

This game is not worth a dime!Friday, March 11, 2005
Seriously people... this game is horrible. It's a series of 8 games that are very simplistic and BORING. Your typical flash game on the web is better. The graphics in-game are not that great. Even my 3 and 5 year old Incredibles Fans were bored after 5 minutes."Daddy Turn it off this isn't fun!" was all I heard. Man, I wasn't expecting much but this is about 2 days of programming effort, Not even a day of 'design' and some cut scenes. Sorely disappointed in this one. If I could return it, I would. AVOID!
What you get: 8 basic 'single task games' such as:
-Help Mr. Incredible get in shape by pressing the spacebar at the right time (boring)
-Help Dash get to the front of the class and put tacks on the teacher's chair. (for one.. do I want my kids doing that? There would have been better things to show)
-Help "mom" catch dishes as they fall. (oooo How EXCITING)
It's too painful to go on. This is pure license abusing crud.

hard game to playFriday, February 11, 2005
The action is too jerky with a mouse turning Incredibles around. I have a new Dell with 128meg video card and I get motion-sickness playing. EA Games have much smoother mouse direction. I tried contacting THQ with no response back.

Fun, cute, shortFriday, December 17, 2004
A fine little game for fans of the movie. Game play consists of various arcade-style games using the characters in both super-hero and secret-identity personas. (For example, Dash puts tacks on the teacher's chair as an ordinary boy, then evades velocipods as a superhero-boy.) High scores in these games get you clips from the movie, screensavers, wallpaper, icons, and so on.
It's a cute game with some moments of fun, but it's far too short and with far too little reward for anyone over the age of, say, 12 or so. If you liked the movie, get it, by all means. Just don't expect the kids to still be playing it a week after Christmas.
