Lego the incredibles switch review4/25/2023 ![]() The Underminer tears his giant machinery through the city and the Parr family is immediately ready to strike back. Nevertheless, we jump right into the Underminer fight from the start of the second movie. This doesn’t bother me too much, but since the films’ plots take place back-to-back, I’m not sure why the game couldn’t also be chronological. Strangely, the adventure begins with the events of the second film, not the original. This review was done with an Xbox One version of the game provided by the publisher.This game features abbreviated plots from both of the Incredibles films. Also, you get to beat up a raccoon with Jack-Jack. Whether you're looking for a fun game that just lets you snash things into tiny pieces, a fun co-op experience to have with a friend, or simply to become a more active participant in a favorite movie LEGO The Incredibles has that. Maybe it was the benefit of getting to simply follow an existing and proven story, but LEGO The Incredibles feels more confident in that regard, and as a result, it kept my attention much longer. The story portion of the game never felt like it mattered or if it had a direction. That game had so much going on that it felt unfocused. Overall I enjoyed LEGO The Incredibles more than the previous LEGO game I played, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. These are usually creative in their design and just fun, and funny, to play. The highlight of these various distractions are the Crimewaves, which start off with a news report letting you know what crime is being committed, then gives you a sidequest to stop it. Time trials, random civilians to rescue, muggers to stop, and various special bricks and other objects to collect. There's a Ubisoft level of random icons that litter the map giving you things to do. When you're looking to take a break from the campaign, you can explore the cities of New Urbem and Munciberg, the core locations from each of the two films. If you're playing along you switch between two characters with the touch of a button or you can play co-op and each take a hero. ![]() The various unique abilities of each member of Parr family come in handy as well and are necessary to finish each level. You move through a linear level, smashing everything in sight to pick up LEGO (opens in new tab) studs, building the tools you need to progress and beating up bad guys along the way. ![]() These game modes play out in a familiar way if you've ever played a LEGO video game. The most significant change the game makes is that it adds characters into sequences of the game where you won't find them in the movie, strictly to allow for co-op gameplay.Īfter you play through the story mode of Incredibles 2, you can travel back in time and play through a story mode of the original The Incredibles movie. You'll play through several levels before the game gives you an obvious opportunity to break away from the story portion of the game to explore the open world, and while the game certainly isn't an entirely faithful retelling of Incredibles 2, all the basic plot points are there and the game will spoil the movie. ![]() The new game starts off immediately and in the exact same spot that the new movie does. The single most important thing to know about LEGO The Incredibles is that you need to wait to play it until after you've seen Incredibles 2.
