The Incredibles
Description official descriptions
In the game based on the movie of the same name, you take control of Mr. Incredible when he is summoned to the island of Nomanisan for a secret assignment. The GBA version is a side-scrolling 2D beat-em-up. Initially, you can only play as Mr. Incredible but the other members of the family, along with Frozone, are playable in the later levels. The main buttons are used for basic attacks, combos and jumps, and the R button triggers special abilities known as "incredi-moves". Each member has a different special move: Mr. Incredible gets super strength, Dash runs faster, Violet has a force field and becomes invisible, and Helen can extend her arms. Using these depletes an additional meter on the screen. It is recharged by collecting icons and defeating enemies.
Next to the icons used for incredi-moves, you can also collect band-aid to restore your health, extra lives, and frozone bottles. There are more than 30 levels, with a few chase sequences (playing as Dash), and familiar characters such as Syndrome, E and Bomb Voyage make an appearance. Both the enemies, carrying a variety of weapons, and the levels have a distinct hand-drawn, comic-book look, rather than mimicking the 3D visuals from the film. After completing a level, you receive a password to continue the next time.

Fun beat 'em up that ties in with the film well
The Good
I remember getting this game as a gift for winning the school spelling bee in 2005. Such an accomplishment... what better way to celebrate with my favorite thing, video games!
Anyways, in contrast to its 3D counterparts, The Incredibles for the GBA is a 2D side-scrolling beat 'em up, in the vein of classics such as Final Fight and Streets of Rage. Plot-wise, it follows the hit Pixar film accurately, from beginning to end; in fact, many scenes are from the film are replicated in the game as in-game cutscenes.
The four heroes each have unique styles of gameplay: Mr. Incredible plays like your typical beat 'em up character. Dash's stages are high speed auto-scrolling stages. Elastigirl plays somewhat similar to Mr. Incredible, albeit having her unique stretching ability, while violent uses her invisibility powers. Frozone is playable at one point, his stages being auto-scrolling "skate" stages. All in all, the gameplay is somewhat varied for its genre.
The Bad
Despite the variety of gameplay, it can get repetitive at times. Some of the enemies can be annoying and cheap, and the music gets old after a while.
The Bottom Line
Not a bad game at all; I highly recommend it to beat 'em up fans!
