Disney-Pixar The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer

Game Overview

Disney-Pixar The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer shifts away from the multi-character stealth and platforming mechanics of its predecessor, focusing instead on non-stop co-op action combat. Developed by Heavy Iron Studios, the game offers a campaign designed specifically for single-player with AI support or seamless drop-in/drop-out two-player local cooperative play.

Players switch between Mr. Incredible, who relies on overwhelming physical strength and ground-shattering melee attacks, and Frozone, who utilizes rapid ice projectiles, freeze beams, and icy mobility to disable enemy hordes from a distance. As players fight through hordes of robotic minion armies and drill stations, they accumulate experience points that can be spent between levels to upgrade health, power efficiency, and unlock devastating new combat combos. Featuring fast-paced superhero combat, destructible underground environments, and cinematic boss battles, the game offers an exciting continuation of The Incredibles story arc on the GameCube.
