It’s a pretty big open world area, separated into districts. The hub world in LEGO Incredibles is New Urbem, which is the fairly generic city where most of Incredibles 2 takes place. The coolest of the Incredibuilds are the Pixar-themed builds that are unlocked by completing Crime Waves in the city. They also require special Incredibricks to build, so you’ll be spending a lot of time searching for these special bricks. The coolest of the Incredibuilds are the Pixar-themed builds that are unlocked by completing Crime Waves in the city. In the story levels, these are usually built to help you get past obstacles, while in the hub world, they generally unlock gold or red bricks. They require two or more of the Parr family building simultaneously, a bit of slightly annoying button mashing (made a bit easier if there’s two of you playing), to construct large things in the world. IncredibuildsĪ slight twist on the large builds in LEGO City Undercover, Incredibuilds are found in story levels and the hub world. This is a good thing, because, like other LEGO games, there’s a LOT of fighting. You can build up combo hits and execute powerful super attacks to destroy numerous foes (and unsuspecting objects nearby) at once. The combat in the game feels fluid and suitably ‘super’, if missing on the technical improvements that LEGO Ninjago had.
Frozone is also really fun to play and feels truly unique among the supers with the way he glides around on his self-made ice.įrozone is also really fun to play and feels truly unique among the supers with the way he glides around on his self-made ice. She has a range of abilities, but her flexibility is often the focus of puzzles, allowing access to otherwise inaccessible areas. Elastigirl is perhaps the most interesting hero to play. Dash can enter her force field bubble for an extra burst of speed, just like in the first film. Violet has her invisibility and force fields, giving her a range of options for completing puzzles. Even when standing still, Dash never quite stops moving.
Dash is super fast, as you might imagine, but is easy enough to control despite his speed. Mr Incredible is incredibly strong, capable of bashing through objects, throwing other characters, and lifting heavy objects. You mostly control one or more of the Incredibles family during the course of the story, but as the game allows for two-player co-op at all times, you might end up with some unexpected companions in certain sections.Įach member of the Incredibles family has, just as in the films, their own set of unique abilities. It also assumes you’re familiar with the source material so you can fill in the blanks. The story plays out much as it does in other LEGO games, interpreting key scenes with that signature LEGO humour throughout. While this seems like a strange way to do things, I suppose it does make the game more accessible to younger players who haven’t been waiting 14 years for this sequel. Once you’ve completed the Incredibles 2 levels, you can then play through the story of the first film. As such, I highly recommend you watch the new film before loading up the game.
The game starts where Incredibles 2 starts, with the arrival of the Underminer, and follows the story of the second film through to the end. The LEGO games have always had to straddle a large age difference in the audience of the game, and the starting point of this game shows who it is primarily aimed at.
