Based
on the yet to be released Pixar movie, The Incredibles is a game based on the
super heroes that star in the movie. Taking control of each character, you
battle your way through 18 different levels and many mini games. It looks to be
aimed at a younger audience, but if you enjoy the movie or the humor of Pixar
movies you’ll most likely have fun with this game no matter how old you are.
The
graphics of the game resemble the movie in that it’s fairly cartoony looking yet
detailed. The game’s main theme seemed to be platform jumping and beating up the
bad guys, but one of the mini games you experience featured the main character
training by lifting train cars. There was a vertical bar in the middle of the
screen, and a horizontal bar moved up and down along it. You had to press the
correct button right as the moving bar was within the required area to
successfully lift the train car. This was the only mini game I saw, but it’s
safe to assume there will be more.
The
Incredibles looks to be a fun platformer for all ages, and since it’s Pixar you
can expect humor to be thrown into the mix. Look for The Incredibles in Fall
2004.
