Points? Sure, there's an in-game leaderboad, but who am I going to go bragging to that I have the high score on Rise of the Underminer to? I can't buy any bonuses with my points, and the game's too long to play through many times through just to improve high scores on my personal copy of the game. There's a story to play through, but for some odd reason, the hidden collectibles scattered throughout the stage are there just for points. One of the most strange things about The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer is that it's structured as an arcade game. There will often times be a barrier that you have to carefully navigate platforms to get up to, with one character so big and clunky that he's hard to control in tight corners, the other so fast and squirrelly that he falls off platforms when you try to get him to face the opposite direction, and it's impossible to not lose life in the process.

The game is just loaded with cheap hits because of these three flaws. We're not sure if it's by design or a technical error, but bullets will also often pass through walls to hit you. Bullets will follow the '2.5D' path and curve around corners to hit you even when you should be out of the way. Sometimes, you can see them, and there's still nothing you can do. You'll often get tagged by baddies that you never saw. The game gets jerky when it comes around a corner, and often waits until your character is right near the edge before transitioning the camera angle. The 3D engine also often backfires when its technical flaws rub against the gameplay. Its combat is also often boxed in by the zooming camera - when the screen stops to let in a flood of enemies, the camera is often so close that there's no room to maneuver your characters. The punch-fest play is largely the same as the recently-released GBA edition and thankfully moves faster than the 2D version, but it's missing the juggling air moves that are a lot of fun to play with. It looks nicer, to be sure, but the gameplay is in some ways worse with the move to 3D.

THQ's follow-up to its game based on Disney's The Incredibles movie has come to the Nintendo DS, and despite following the console game's multi-character and multiplayer construct, it doesn't have enough to avoid the trend towards junky licensed games.įor the Nintendo DS edition of The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, developer Helixe has come up with sharp 3D visuals (played in a 2D plane, for that '2.5D' effect) to replace the sprites and bitmaps of its previous GBA edition while sticking to the side-scrolled brawling action.

The DS hasn't seen a whole lot of bad licensed games, but the system is seeing its fair share now that it's rolling through its first full Christmas holiday season after last year's late-season launch. And when it comes to licensed franchises, that doesn't happen much.
