LEGO The Incredibles Reviews
The LEGO games have always been known for their little quirks, but when it comes to pushing a game out with a theater release, they're fairly sloppy. LEGO The Incredibles has all of the symptoms of a rushed game, but at least it doesn't have any game-breaking glitches. It's not a bad LEGO game, but it's nothing to write home about either. It's just incredibly okay, when it should just be incredible.
The bugs are annoying and the voice acting is just about as bad sometimes, but the open world crimefighting, Pixar cameos, and perfect pairing of these two brands makes LEGO The Incredibles a fun family game, even if it's not quite super.
LEGO The Incredibles 2 isn't the best platformer, or even the best LEGO game, but for younger gamers, big Pixar fans and those just wanting more from The Incredibles, it's a decent choice, by no means essential for anyone, but absolutely packed with a good few hours of fun with family members.
LEGO The Incredibles gives you everything you want from a LEGO game without breaking the mold. However, it doesn't address any of the franchise's problems and ultimately feels like the same old thing.
Based on the two movies of the Incredibles line, the Nintendo Switch is getting a game that features LEGO's and Disney's signature audiovisual quality, a fun, open world to explore with plenty of unlockable content, and an interesting plot full of humorous elements. If its loading times were shorter and there were less technical flaws on its execution, as well as a more involving combat system, then LEGO The Incedibles would be an instant classic, rather than just falling short of it.

LEGO The Incredibles is a perfectly fun entry into the LEGO series, but it just doesn't do anything to stand out outside of its unique license.
Traveller's Tales' latest is exactly what you expect it to be- for now, that's still a good thing.
Lego The Incredibles is following the same path as the other titles of the Lego series, with almost no changes in the gameplay and no news about narrative techniques, even though this title could please the taste of the youngest players and of those who are not seeking anything unique and original.

Overall the game is billed as Legos The Incredibles but the game itself may not hit that title. Coming in at 39.99 on Steam and 59.99 USD for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. It is out now and ready for you to go pick it up for whatever system you are using.
Don't get me wrong – LEGO The Incredibles is fun. It's just as entertaining as any other LEGO game. But that's the problem. It doesn't stand out in any way.
Nevertheless, if you enjoyed the previous installments in the Lego franchise and want more of that, then this will be worth your time. The same goes if you love The Incredibles and want to experience these characters and events in a clever new way. If either of these sound like you, I have no problem recommending this incredible brick-filled playground.
LEGO The Incredibles has some great moments but starts to feel far too repetitive early on. The Parr family could do with more interesting locales than New Urbem, which is a pretty generic setting for a cast of great supers.
While it’s smaller than other similar games, the minor upgrades and simple fun of Lego The Incredibles make it a basic but fun Lego game.
LEGO The Incredibles is a fun family-friendly new addition to the ever-growing LEGO franchise. The game doesn’t really bring many new features and mechanics to the table, but it does expand on some which were present in previous games. The game is a lot shorter than recent titles, clocking in at around 6-7 hours for the main story, but once you add in all of the overworld activities and collectables, you easily hit around 30-40 hours worth of gameplay. I particularly love how they have built in a way to easily see which character have the ability you are looking for, a much-needed addition to the LEGO games. Unfortunately, the game is plagued with pop-in, a not very exciting rendition of both movies (played in reverse order for some reason), and probably the worst flying/swimming/driving mechanics to date in a LEGO game.
Those who have played LEGO games in the past pretty much know what to expect from each subsequent game and LEGO The Incredibles does very little to break the mold. Even so, LEGO The Incredibles is a perfect segue for kids who have just seen the latest movie and want to jump even deeper into the world of The Incredibles.
Traveller’s Tales lands a brand new property to plug into their tried and tested LEGO gameplay, but I had hoped for something a bit less on their usual path.
LEGO The Incredibles isn’t a bad game by any means and there’s certainly fun to be had playing through TT Games’ representation of the Pixar heroes’ adventures, but when compared to the most recent releases in the LEGO franchise I can’t help but to find it a little underwhelming. I just felt like there wasn’t anything here that I hadn’t seen done before, which is something that the LEGO games have been guilty of over the last few years but somehow feels more predominant here than ever before. Like I said though, there’s enjoyment to be had with LEGO The Incredibles and I’m sure youngsters in particular will enjoy zipping around levels as Dash, smashing through walls with Mr Incredible, stretching through stages as Elastigirl, and smashing things apart with Violet’s energy blasts. It’s just a shame that the game doesn’t quite live up to its ‘incredible’ name, and instead just feels a little bit ordinary.
LEGO The Incredibles is just a fun game to play for kids and nostalgic adults. It’s a lot spoiler-ish, but I think they really wanted to follow the story of the recent movie anyway. It’s a good one playthrough game for me though as an adult gamer.
I enjoyed playing through the game, but felt some of the questionable decisions and creaking technology kept it from achieving its potential. It's quite good for a licensed product, and can be fun for a couple of kids to play together, or for a parent to play with their child. It just isn't anything special, and in a game all about being Incredible, that's kind of a letdown.
Overall LEGO The Incredibles is an alright game that truly delivers on collecting and charm. It's always fun to see some great franchises get the LEGO treatment, but the gameplay falls short from the same mechanics as previous LEGO titles. However, LEGO The Incredibles is geared to fans of LEGO games and unlocking iconic characters from the Incredibles universe. Kids will love this game and will have hours of fun. As for advanced or adult gamers, this game has its highs and lows and is exactly what it was meant to be…A game for kids.
