LEGO The Incredibles Reviews
LEGO Incredibles certainly has its charms, but it just doesn’t hit the heights of some of the best LEGO games out there. It falls short with the length of its campaign and the lack of characters, but perhaps that more down to the franchise this game is based on rather than there being a lack of ideas.
More competent than incredible, this middle-of-the-road tie-in replicates the films well enough but doesn't mesh with the Lego formula as well as some other properties.
Compared with other Lego film tie-ins, this game feels slightly B movie – but with teamwork and other added Pixar characters, there's enough to engage your inner crimefighter
With the ups and downs of the many licensed LEGO titles having been well documented by now, you'll know exactly what you're getting with LEGO The Incredibles. Even knowing full well you'll be contending with dodgy controls, and occasionally repetitive gameplay, you'll somehow find yourself propelled through the story by an overwhelming compulsion to pick up literally millions of studs along the way. Even stretching The Incredibles source material close to breaking point doesn't put too much of a dampener on your time with the Parr family, and while it doesn't come close the best the LEGO games have offered over the years, there's just enough here to make you reach for your super suit.
LEGO The Incredibles is a boring game with a nice graphics made just for fans of The Incredibles universe. If you a not a big fan, than you can safely pass by.

The Parr Family gets the LEGO treatment but it doesn't capture the same magic as the movie.
While almost every LEGO game has included some sort of new mechanic to differentiate itself in some way, LEGO The Incredibles just feels like it's going through the motions. The formula is wearing mighty thin, and is the least inventive, most unexciting LEGO game in ages. Still, it's a decent kid's game, with plenty of family-friendly fun to be had.
Those familiar with the LEGO franchise won't be disoriented. LEGO The Incredibles is a fun game to explore and controlling the Pixar characters each with their own abilities can be really enjoyable. Alas, the game is not very challenging, especially when it comes to fight several minions by simply press the same button, and the main adventure is quite short.

A solid and mostly fun accompaniment to the film.
Lego The Incredibles sticks to the tried and trusted Lego formula, adding a sprinkle of new features here and there. However, the same bugs and glitches which have dogged the Lego series persist and the game feels somewhat lacking in comparison to previous titles.
LEGO The Incredibles does exactly what fans of Tt's games will expect at this point. It delivers a fun distraction that is great to play through in couch co-op, with plenty of extras to keep the game enjoyable for a long time to come. However, like Telltale, it has done little to expand or innovate here and the source material feels a little thin for this type of affair. LEGO Pixar or LEGO Disney could have been amazing and, maybe, this is the first step towards that. However, on its own, it can't stand up to its predecessors.
I know it's "just" a game for kids, but it could be done much better. What we've got is a typical LEGO game with next to none new ideas and couple of cameos from another Pixar animations (including the lamp!).

Clocking in at around 12 hours, Lego The Incredibles' questionable narrative choices and bland gameplay make it one to avoid. If you're looking for your Incredibles fix, check out movies instead because the game is far from incredible.
LEGO The Incredibles is a mediocre action-adventure brawler that fails to live up to the LEGO franchise's reputation. While it's certainly charming to see both films adapted into the LEGO format so succinctly, the whole experience is bogged down by tedious gameplay, technical issues, and sound design that's rough around the edges, at best. Along with a rather uninteresting roster and short play time, LEGO The Incredibles doesn't even come close to the comparatively high standards LEGO Star Wars set nearly a decade and a half ago.
Lego The Incredibles simply does not meet up to the expectations its predecessors have set.
By now, the staple branching paths, puzzles, and verticality of LEGO's design has worn thin. LEGO The Incredibles is an attempt to ride the idiosyncrasies of the source material to pave over cracks in the game's core design. In future, LEGO games would be able to realise their enormous potential if they left their target markets and traditions at the door, and decided to make the game the developer really wants to make; the series needs forget its past and re-lay its foundation with some fresh building blocks.
LEGO games have definitely hit their stride in the last few years, cranking out some stellar licenced titles like Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings and so on, not to mention the brilliant LEGO Worlds. Based on that, you’d think an Incredibles game would do well, but unfortunately, it fails to really define itself as anything more than a simple video game tie-in, especially when the LEGO Marvel or DC games have already filled the superhero spot many times before, getting better with each entry. It feels like TT weren’t really allowed to go as off-book with this title as they have done in the past and the result is a game a bit more average than incredible. You can play it solo or with your kids for a quick bit of fun, but watching both movies back to back will probably be more enjoyable.
In LEGO The Incredibles we will immerse ourselves in the life of one of the most famous families of superheroes through Lego's pieces. Mainly focused at children, the game allows us to enjoy both movies while playing extra missions throughout the city.
