Disney Online and Pixar Animation Studios
have unleashed The Incredibles: Escape from Nomanisan Island, a new action-adventure
downloadable PC game available from the Internet.
The game features Mr. and Mrs.
Incredible and their kids, Violet and Dash, the superhero stars of the blockbuster The
Incredibles, as they try to escape Nomanisan Island while facing wave after wave of the evil
forces of their foe, Syndrome. Fans are invited to download the game to test their
superpowers in four environments and 20 levels of non-stop game action.
Players can get a
free trial and purchase the game for USD 19.95.
The Incredibles downloadable game
shares many of the film's settings and begins with an escape from Syndrome's secret base
on Nomanisan Island. Play continues as the family battles through the dark caverns of a
volcano, the thick of an untamed jungle and along rocky beaches before ultimately facing
Syndrome himself.
Players can switch characters at any point in the game, optimizing
their powers for rapidly changing game challenges and differing opponents. Mr. Incredible
features a powerful boulder throw. Mrs. Incredible packs her signature stretch punch. Dash
pelts enemies with a rapid-fire rock throw and Violet uses her force field to protect her
family from harm.
The Internet has created a whole new category of casual gamers who
are interested in high-quality games that they can either play online or download onto their
computers, said Ken Goldstein, executive vice president and managing director of Disney
Online. The Incredibles marks our foray into downloadable games. We couldn't have asked for
a better property to kick off this new venture.
THQ is also publishing a full line of
The Incredibles videogames available on PS2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance as
well as PC/Mac.
