The Incredibles
" Super Strength, Super Speed, Invisibility, Elasticity "
For all the critical acclaim Pixar's many computer-animated films have received over the years, there has yet to be a great game based on any of them. Rather, nearly every game to bear the license of a Pixar film has been a fairly run-of-the-mill and problematic affair, capturing little if any of the charm and whimsy that makes the studio's characters and stories so captivating. The Incredibles is the studio's latest film effort, and even though the film itself has not yet reached theaters, the game version of the movie has. Unfortunately, the game doesn't buck the trend of mediocrity, offering a fairly unremarkable experience that puts you through the motions of the film's plot without capturing any of its essence.
The story of The Incredibles revolves around a family of superheroes--retired superheroes, actually. Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, the patriarch and matriarch of the family, are formerly renowned superheroes who hooked up while on the job. However, after a series of lawsuits by the very people rescued by superheroes turns the world against the superhero profession, the couple opts to retire and settle into a typical family life. They have a couple of children, named Violet and Dashiell, both of whom have their own superhuman powers, and try to live normally--that is, until a new villain forces them to don their costumes once more and fight for justice and good. The game follows the plot of the film pretty strictly, although it does take occasional liberties with the story to try to make it flow better as a game. However, the way the game selectively uses scenes ripped direct from the film is a little jarring, in that the story bits provided aren't very revealing or paced very well, and ultimately the game requires you to see the film first to truly make sense of the game's interpretation of the story.
