![]() ![]() ![]() There’s no denying that LEGO The Incredibles is a lot of fun to play, but it never felt particularly unique. The city itself isn’t exactly jam-packed full of personality and it feels a little weak when compared to other LEGO games’ open worlds, but there’s still plenty to do and plenty of recognisable sights to see that fans of the movies will definitely appreciate. You won’t just be battling your way across a myriad of levels based upon the movie, but also get to explore an open world that’s full of people to save, collectibles to find, and secrets to discover. As per usual with the LEGO games, one of The Incredibles’ core powers are always essential to progress, though that doesn’t mean you won’t get to mix it up with the support cast during the main story missions – Frozone’s ice abilities will be essential to take down some foes for example, whilst the villainous Syndrome’s previous heroic alter-ego ‘Incrediboy’ will prove useful on one particular level too. Here, you’ll use Mr Incredible’s brute strength, Elastigirl’s stretching abilities, Violet’s energy powers, and Dash’s lightning-fast speed to smash up enemies, solve puzzles, and make your way through a myriad of platforming sections. Overall, I enjoyed how the story was presented, with the quality Pixar storytelling working well with the trademark LEGO humour.Īs far as gameplay is concerned, the game tasks you with working through a series of levels based upon scenes from both movies. It’s not a bad thing though and the alternate representation of how some scenes play out not only keeps things fresh story-wise but also ensures that they’re more interesting to play through from a gameplay perspective too. I’m assuming this is to ensure gamers get to experience the ‘newer’ content first, but it actually felt a little off in the game – especially since some important character revelations that are initially revealed in the first movie actually seem to play a big role in the follow up.Īs mentioned, I haven’t seen the new movie yet so I can’t/won’t really spoil anything here, but after watching the first movie a ton of times (seriously, it’s an absurd number) it’s clear that TT Games have taken some liberties as far as presenting how the tale goes. LEGO The Incredibles tells the story of both movies, with it (oddly) starting off by telling the tale of The Incredibles 2 and then moving on to its predecessor. ![]() Sure, the classic LEGO charm is still there, but it comes with a sense of predictability that younger gamers might not notice but is plain and clear to us seasoned gaming veterans. Unfortunately, LEGO The Incredibles is also the first time that the aforementioned ‘blocky-platform-puzzling’ has started to feel a little bit dated and formulaic. I made the exception this time around though and got to experience the bulk of the new tale in a blocky-platform-puzzling manner instead, which is typically a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Still, it means I’ve had to play through the game without seeing the movie first, which is something I typically avoid doing not only for the sake of spoilers but so I know what exactly is going on as far as the narrative is concerned. Lucky Americans have had the chance to watch it already – maybe England should take a page out of their book and just not qualify for the World Cup next time around… I’m lucky enough to have the game ahead of its official release in the UK, but, thanks to the World Cup, the new movie that it’s PARTLY based upon has been delayed and is releasing next month. However, with The Incredibles 2 opening the door to even more movies, this new game may not be the last we see of the plastic Parr family.ĭue to release on June 15 (on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC) alongside The Incredibles 2, the timing couldn't be better for LEGO: The Incredibles to cash in on the reinvigorated hype around the series.LEGO The Incredibles put me in a bit of a weird place. From the aforementioned Batman and Star Wars to Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, you name it, LEGO has created it. Working closely with Disney, developer TT Games is putting its many years of experience since LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game to good use. Rise of the Underminer was about as close as fans got to a proper sequel until Bird announced The Incredibles 2, but now LEGO promises to take the story even further. There were several video games based on The Incredibles, including 2005's Rise of the Underminer which picked up where the movie left off.
