These extras are often stud/currency multipliers, visual filters or silly costumes, in the past, it was often frustrating trying to track down these bricks and find enough cash to unlock the extra feature. Having the brick gives you the chance to unlock an extra feature. Now for those unfamiliar with the Lego games, the red bricks often need to be found hidden away in levels. But the reward for doing them is worth it as completing them gives you access to a special build and with a bit more puzzle solving you unlock a red brick. It’s great there is more to do than just the story, it’s just a shame it often tasks you to do the same thing over and over. When you complete enough you’ll sometimes get the chance to fight a villain boss and lock them away. Some tasks are just beating up enough goons, others involve running on top of giant bombs until you take them to a bomb disposal. Crime Waves are often multi-part events that will have you helping several citizens from a villain’s goons by performing various tasks. These events give you something to do when you want a break from the story or aimlessly doing things around the city. When you go back to the city there is usually a region that is flashing red as a ‘Crime Wave’ event. There are Incredibuild locations all over the map that make some neat structures, helping to add life to empty spots, and will have you looking for more Incredibricks (although it’s better holding onto them to make some cooler things). There’s plenty of collectibles that can be found here in the form of golden bricks and incredibricks.

In between the story levels you are also free to explore Municiberg and New Urbem, which form the open world hub. At one point in the original story that I feel kind of sorry for the poor workers who had to try and make some of these moments work. The lengths they go to within the story to have a reason for why these characters are with you gets really bizarre.
Lego the incredibles update movie#
The need to have two characters at any one time can make for some interesting moments when playing sections in the movie where characters were alone, and all of a sudden in the game are paired with characters that barely had a speaking role who all of a sudden are real chatty. As a result, you spend three to four hours getting to play levels that involve the family a fair bit, and then you’re relegated mostly to levels with Mr Incredible and whichever Super he’s paired with. Having the stories play out in this order turns out to be bad for the pacing, and makes the first movie less fun to play though. I get that Tt Games would want to put the shiny new movie up front, especially when the original movie is over a decade old now. If you’ve seen The Incredibles 2, that’s great! Because the game starts off with the sequel before unlocking the original movie’s story. While the Super Attack is a minor but useful addition, the Incredibuilds feels like an extra pointless step in progress. This involves a bit of juggling between characters until all of them have enough meter to make the Incredibuild clear the way. When you have enough bricks the family comes together, and you need to mash on a button as you move between each character to build up each meter. Incredibuilds are lego builds that require you to find Incredibricks in the nearby area to use to get to beat whatever obstacle is keeping you from progressing. It’s not a big addition, but at times it can be really handy to keep things moving. Super Attacks are attacks that are developed through building up enough combo until you can mash on a button to do a screen-clearing attack. Even better is with the joy cons you have enough controllers.Ī lot of gameplay mechanics are from the Lego games before it, but with a new game, there are a few additions with it, mostly the Super Attacks and Incredibuilds. There’s plenty to do tackling it solo, but it can be even more fun mucking around through the levels with a friend in co-op. Each character has unique abilities, forcing you to use each ability to their fullest to solve puzzles as well as find bonus collectables.


Two or more characters are tasked with smashing up countless Lego scenery and items as you solve environmental puzzles, beat up bad guys, and use Lego pieces to build your way through each scene. Turns out over the course of seven hours, I was forced to ask myself the question ‘am I too old to enjoy a Lego game?’įor those who haven’t played a Lego game Lego The Incredibles is a retelling of the first and second Incredibles movies. There is no doubt a bunch of people like myself who happen to be big fans of Lego (Star Wars Lego is great no matter your age) and The Incredibles movies, so a Lego Incredibles game should be the kind of mash-up I would be all over.
