Faithful to the movie

The Incredibles is an awesome movie, and just watching it you can see where the video game was coming from it (Dash's mad run through the forest was great). The GBA version of this game is faithful to the movie, with stills from the movie along with written dialogue (no voices here unfortunately). You get to play as Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Dash, and even Frozone. The animation is good. Unfortunately, the gameplay is pretty tedious. It's basically a button-masher only. Mr. Incredible moves incredibly slow. Frozone does better, though his part is a minimum. Elastigirl and Dash have good responses, but it's all basically a "here comes a bunch of bad guys/machines, now beat them up". Also, the music gets old quickly, as it sounds like 8 measures of the same song looping continuously. Luckily you have the option to kill the music, so plan on using it.

Unfortunately, there's no save option on this either. It relies on the old tried-and-true method of passwords to keep track of where you are. Keep a pen and paper handy when you play (or get the passwords off the internet and skip right to where you want to play).

All in all, this is a fun GBA game in small doses. I don't think it's going to win any awards for gameplay, but if you're a fan of the movie, this is a great way to pass the time. Mildly recommended.

Unfaithful to the movie

If you are looking for your dream game this isn't it!!! All you do is play as the characters from the movie, but it isn't even as fun as watching the movie 4 times! (8 hours). Also you have to keep a list of passwords for each of the levels so if you lose them you have to start from the beginning and work your way up until you get back to the level you were at. That part is a huge problem. It's very boring unlike the movie and it took me about a day to beat it. It's too short!!!!!! I wish they had made it longer. Every game I own is better than this one( I have 32 games in all besides this game)Get another game, no 15 other games in place of this one. That is how bad it is. Don't say I didn't warn you if you buy and don't like it. If you just love the Incredibles and Gameboy you might like it I dunno, but unless your that kind of person save your money on a different game and if someone already bought it for you, return it to the store where they bought it and get a new game ( that's only if you don't like the game though). Remember what I've said in this review and you'll be fine. THIS IS NOT A GOOD GAME AT ALL!! SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR THE NEW GAMEBOY, THE NINTENDO DS (IN STORES NOW). Good movie unfaithful to the game. That's all folks!

I love ME!

Yo this my review. I actually own the game and isn't any fun. This how it works. You start out doing some crime work and that's what you do all of this game. They could have at least made it more intresting. I will give a list of ups and downs and they are,

UPS

It goes along with the story of the movie

DOWNS

Do nothing but fight in the game and you don't do anything else

Game is short

Keep a list of passwords

No one really speaks in the game

Game is very boring

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!! YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR MONEY!

Game falls short of expectations

To tell you the truth, I was very disappointed by this game. The gameplay gets really repetative very quickly, and the plotline is the same as the movie so there's nothing new. The inability to play as more then one character at a time is very annoying, especially since the whole movie revolves around family. The levels with Violet are the worst, because she can only go invisible for short amounts of time, and the levels with Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl are relatively boring. Basically, there isn't much substance to the game other than beating up the same type of bad guy again and again. Save your money for when the movie comes out, and don't buy the game.

uhh...not so good

the game is a fighting game, not so much skill but it is fun to start with. As people said, it is very repetative and basically its just whakcing the gameboy as hard as you can. Some of the characters are more fun, and it was overall pretty enjoyable, BUT!

it is incredibly short. i finished it in two days, but if you add all the seperate minutes together it was probably more like two hours. i was fairly disappointed by the game, but it wasnt a total waste of money.

Not really for adults

The people reveiwing this game have made a mistake: it's not really for adults. It's a simple fighting game. My 5 year old loves it becuase he can be all the different characters and it's one of the few games where he's coordinated enough to get past the levels. The biggest mistake they made was requiring reading. I still feel like the video game people don't quite get it when it comes to designing games for toddlers but this is about as close to the mark as it comes. Anyway, if you've got a young child with a gameboy it's great.
