 The Incredibles review:
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 warning), but perhaps there's some masochist out there that enjoys underdeveloped hype titles like this one!
3 stars (a review from a guy u all dont no) - Ok, dont get angry at me because im still playing the game. The beggining is really fun, you get to punch a lot of people, throw em off building, its cool. With the stretchy woman, you can throw bombs at the people also. BUT,(notice how there is always a but in a review) there are some problems, there is some glitches in the game sometimes, If you are in a really bad mood, and you want to play the levels in the jungle, may I warn you, there are sometimes where you just wanna blow up your computer. In the level where the house is burning down. There is the one part where you have to jump from lantern to lantern, IT IS VERY ANNOYING!You have to be an extremly good guitarist are video gameist.(is that a job?) But there are upsides too. The cheats are really cool, one of the cheats:'Einsteinium' makes ur head bigger(dont blame me if the stien part is spelled wrong. I'm not really good with the I before E rule.) Otherwise than those parts it is a very fun game.
Oh and did I mention there is a hidden mode. BUT I AM STILL PLAYING SO I DONT NO WHAT IT IS YET. Anyway it has a lot to promise but although like most Disney Video Games it is a short game with 19 levels, and if your extremly good at video games don't buy it, but if you are like younger you should buy it.
I would recomend this game to kids 8-12 and up
1 stars (hard game to play) - The action is too jerky with a mouse turning Incredibles around. I have a new Dell 8400 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.
