Having said this, there are some new additions like the ability to combine the Incredibles abilities, such as having Mr Incredible throw another hero or having a hero join Violet in one of her psionic bubbles, in order to cross those dangerous puddles of toxic ooze. You’ll be destroying bricks, building bricks, and collecting bricks, and solving bricky puzzles using your character’s various powers. Story missions play out as you would expect and, for the most part, follows the plotlines from the movies to a T. Who knew she packed such a punch? If playing as one of the Pixar or Incredibles characters isn’t enough for you players can also build their own custom mini-fig using parts they unlocked by visiting Edna Mode in the game. It was great to see Dory square off against ice-cream-themed villains. What came as a pleasant surprise was that players can also unlock characters from different Pixar films. …players can also unlock characters from different Pixar films. These characters range from the ones seen in the films, such as the Incredibles themselves and more obscure characters who were only mentioned briefly in the films, such as Thunderhead or Gazerbeam. Luckily, the game does give you some variety by adding over 100 characters to choose from and unlock. While the two cities and their various districts are great to explore, as with most LEGO games, gameplay can become a tad monotonous at times. However, as we all know, any excuse to bash the crap out of things in LEGO games is a welcome one. These missions usually range from “go beat up this dude” to “find this kid’s ice cream”. The Crime Waves serves as a variety of small missions that take place between the main story missions. From here players can scour the environments for golden bricks, collect studs, or defeat Crime Waves.

In-between completing various missions, players will be able to explore the streets and districts of Municiberg and New Urbem, which serves as the game’s hub worlds. Without spoiling too much, LEGO The Incredibles kicks off with Elastigirl doing her best to save the day while Mr Incredible spends his time at home looking after the kids and trying to cope with being a stay at home dad. I found it quite jarring that the game kicks off with the events of the second film and not that of the first. While it’s great that you play through both storylines, it’s a shame that you only unlock The Incredibles campaign after completing The Incredibles 2 one. Surprisingly, the game plays out events in reverse, which is a strange choice. I actually thought I might have accidentally chosen the wrong chapter.
LEGO THE INCREDIBLES REVIEW MOVIE
The game starts off where the first movie left us (and where the second film kicks off) with the Parr family (The titular Incredibles) once again saving the day and preventing the Underminer from causing death and destruction. So, does LEGO The Incredibles mix things up enough to feel fresh? This is not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just that the formula has become a tad stale over the years, even with a few new additions. There is no illusion of what to expect when booting up a LEGO game as TT Games have used, for the most part, the same formula found in most of the franchise. With the release of Pixar’s Incredibles 2 comes the release of LEGO The Incredibles, a game that mixes the now familiar LEGO games formula with the characters and charm of Pixar.
