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 play

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.

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.
Not a good value

This game is not worth 20 dollars. When I brought it home, I beat it in five minutes, both the medium and easy levels. The problem is that the hard level is too hard, so it would be frustrating for most people and the easy and medium levels are way too easy. I cannot recommend this game and I'm sorry about that because the game looks like a lot of fun and I spent my birthday money on it.
Mine will not work either

I wish I had read these reviews before I bought the game. I bought mine from Best Buy and it will not work either. It runs through the install, but when you try to play the game you get 'disk not found' error. This was a big disappointment for my 7 year old on Christmas Day!
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

Wrong Disk error like many others. Absolutely no response or support from THQ
Do not buy the 1-CD version of this game

I purchased this game from Best Buy for my son, but THQ (game maker) apparently neglected to check if the 1-CD version of the game would work on PC's. It doesn't. There apparently was a 2-CD version that did work.
I installed the game on my son's computer - and got him all excited, only to have a very unhappy child when we went to play the game and the error message "wrong disc inserted" appeared instead of Dash or Violet. I am a computer expert and tried every trick I know to get this to work, to no avail.
This apparently has happened to others (a quick google search will reveal this), and the support at THQ seems to be famously bad. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.

I installed the game with the default settings and got "wrong disc inserted" just like everyone else. Emailed THQ. Still no response a week later.
I wish 0 stars was an option.

My 7 year old son bought this game with his birthday money and could hardly wait to play it. He's learned a great deal of patience since then. Install went fine but soon we were hit with the now infamous "Wrong disc inserted." message. Our home machine is a bit older so I thought I would try it at work. Being a software test engineer(for the past 10 year), I have access to quite a few machines and know about getting things to work.
!!!THIS GAME WILL NOT RUN ON A SINGLE MACHINE I'VE TRIED IT ON!!!
Forget about getting any help from THQ either. If you manage to actually get the phone system to answer, (Usually it just rings, and rings, and...) all you get is an automated message informing you they are currently upgrading their phone system, so leave a message or go online.
Online won't help either though. The online support form must go to an internet blackhole. I have yet to hear anything back from them.
