Product Description: The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer gives you the chance to be a superhero! The game begins at the end of the hit film, with Underminer's emergence threatening to wreak havoc on the residents of Metroville. Players battle the Underminer and his robot minions in the vast underground world built by this diabolical genius. It's up to Mr Incredible and Frozone to save the day once again. Are you Super enough?
Not For Young Children I was very disappointed when I received this game. I know that the movie contained some violence, but not at all as much as the game contains. My son loved 'The Incredibles' movie and wanted this game so bad. I bought it for him thinking it would be okay, but I was wrong. As of the next week after receiving it, I had taken it, and the first 'The Incredibles' game, to a local store to trade in on some decent games (which, by the way, are very hard to find!). If you do not want your child to play fighting games, do not buy this game!!
Great two player mode and good fun in single mode My son (10) and I really like this game. We think it has a great two player mode, where you can be either Mr Freeze or Mr Incredible. We played it pretty quickly I suppose, in a few days, as two player. But it was great fun while it lasted. My son found the first Incredibles game just too hard when it came out and gave up after a while (when a bit older he completed it). We liked the 'nasty molie' Underminer and all the baddies are robots giving a non violent feel. You have different powers depending on who you are and you can upgrade your powers when you get enough points (trashed a lot of robots). All our games saved OK automatically (and we didn't seem to need passwords). We got the game for a tenner, and felt it money well spent. I certainly preferred the game to Rachet & Clank Gladiator etc.. in two player mode. The only downside is that sometimes you get a bit stuck when your helper goes in an opposite diection (you share the same screen). But I found the superpower moves easy to master, and teamwork really helps defeat mad molie. In single player mode it is actually a bit more difficult as you have to swap charactors often to use their special powers - and so die frequently before you use them - although you both have to die to stop the game. The dead hero recovers after 10 seconds if you stay alive. So a great two player game (quite rare actually). Also try Battle Engine Aquilla, Lego Star Wars I & II and Metal Arms (Glitch in the system) for good two player mode.
40 Year Old With 7 Year Old Son From a dad who searches high & low for games that his kids can enjoy but not struggle with, this game rocks! You can jump into a single player game as a second player anytime. It is challenging enough to be fun but not too tough that the kids have to replay each sub-level over and over to beat. My son loves it and we have a great time playing together at the same time (one as Mr Inc and the other as Mr Freeze). This game, Sly Cooper 1 and Madagascar are the best games we've found so far after trying about 20 PS2 games. We like games that are fun but that the kids do not need help every 5 minutes on.
A pleasant diversion This game is good. It's not great. It's not bad. It's just good. Still, for a licensed game that's nothing to sneeze at, and it's enjoyable enough to play through once if you're a grownup.
The game though is clearly aimed at younger players. It's not very hard, but it is challenging enough to keep kids entertained. The gameplay is natural and easy to grasp, and the two characters (Mr. Incredible and Frozone) are just different enough to be playable. Switching between characters in one player mode is a breeze.
Good game for kids, but strictly a rental for us grownups.
Fun, for a day! This game was fun to play for an afternoon... because you'll beat it in 3-4 hours! This is one to rent, not buy.
