Mr. Incredible captures Bomb Voyage in the bank, but then his fanboy, Buddy Pine, shows up. Buddy has no superpowers, but wants to be a superhero. He begins to fly out the window on his rocket boots to notify the police of Bomb Voyage's capture, but Mr. Incredible notices a bomb on Buddy's cape. Releasing Bomb Voyage, Mr. Incredible grabs onto Buddy's cape and goes on a wild ride through the city.

Mr. Incredible and the bomb both fall from the cape and onto a rooftop, where Bomb Voyage appears in a helicopter. Bomb Voyage attempts to kill Mr. Incredible with bombs and laser beams, but Mr. Incredible throws the bombs back and the helicopter, making it fly into a building and explode.

It comes about the superheroes are being sued for too much destruction, and are forced by the government to disguise themselves as civilians and try to live normal lives. Mr. Incredible marries Elastigirl and they have three children: Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack.

Mr. Incredible is then approached by Mirage, who tells him that she runs a secret organization on an island called Nomanisan and that their latest machine, the Omnidroid 08, is off wreaking havoc on the island. Mr. Incredible goes to Nomanisan, where he tracks down the Omnidroid and destroys it. Meanwhile, the entire fight was witnessed by Mirage and her anonymous employer, whose face is not shown, through a robotic bird. The employer comments that Mr. Incredible's victory is surprising.

Mr. Incredible returns to Nomanisan on another mission. When he reaches the conference room, he goes through numerous security guards and other systems but once he gets to the empty meeting room, another omnidroid tears the wall apart and grabs Mr. Incredible. The omnidroid's leader, Syndrome, appears, who was Mirage's employer and Buddy Pine. He reveals that he wants to kill Mr. Incredible and the world's other superheroes. Mr. Incredible escapes Syndrome by jumping off a waterfall.

Elastagirl goes to Nomanisan to save her husband and safely stores Violet and Dash in a cave as she sneaks into Syndrome's base. The next morning, Violet and Dash accidentally activate an alarm system and are forced to use their powers to escape from Syndrome's guards. They learn not to be ashamed of their powers and to work together.

Finally, all of the Incredibles meet up and activate one of Syndrome's rockets, using it to escape back to Metroville, where the omnidroid is wreaking havoc. In a battle reminiscent of those of the old days, the Incredibles and Frozone work together to destroy the robot. Now, superheroes are loved by the public again.

Setting

The setting on this game goes to loads of different places, as it keeps the classic games level style, insted of a free-roam world. this one of the first Action/Adventure games i had, and i thought it was brilliant also the way it used cut-scenes from the actual films was a little cheap but i really liked it, if you had watched the film, then you could get a sense of what the level was going to be like.

Setting rating:8/10

Gameplay

The gameplay of the incredibles was really good, If you have watched the film you'll know its about superpowers, well superhero's infact. There are 4 superpowers you use it the game and that is: Super Strenth, which was great for fighting missions, you could also do a number of cool things, lke being able to throw heavy objects at people, or cars, or even helicopters, which was fun for bringing out the beast from within. Super Speed, which was my favourite and probably everyone elses, I enjoyed the way you would race through jungles, moterways, at one point your actually running on water, i mean water come on that is beast! Super Force, which was fun but didnt keep the element of being invincible like on the film, insted you had a health limit on the forcefield you had which actually disapointed me. Super Stretch, which was my second favourite power, fun for throwing grenades, people and doing spins with my arms killing everyone around me, also using it to swing from place to place, it was really fun to use.Overall id say the game was really fun to play.

Gameplay Rating:10/10

Graphics

Considering it was a game based on a film, and like all videogames were then, they were really quickly made games after the film had been out, and were usually terrible graphics wise, but it actually wasn't at the time they were pretty good in game, but the cutscenes in the game, not just took from the film were awful due to it being zoomed in so much the graphics were actually discusting, but apart from that they were fine.

Fable II Game Review

Synopsis

The game begins in the city of Bowerstone, where the protagonist, a young child known as Sparrow (the player is able to select their gender) lives in poverty with his or her older sister, Rose, and dreams about living in Castle Fairfax, the home of Lord Lucien. Their fantasies are cut short when they hear a commotion down at the market. A man who goes by the name of Mystical Murgo is selling 'magical' wares, such as a mirror that makes one beautiful (though only in complete darkness) and a magic box that grants a wish. Rose scoffs at the idea of magic, but an old woman named Theresa tells her otherwise, suggesting it may in fact be magic.

Interested and curious, Rose and her sibling, Sparrow, decide to collect the five coins required for the box, doing odd jobs such as collecting warrants and posing for a photograph. During this time, they save a dog getting abused by a bully. When they finally collect the money needed, they buy the box and wish that they could live in Castle Fairfax. The box then disappears in a flash of light, apparently not working. Dismayed, the two go to their hovel and discover the dog waiting for them.

In the middle of the night, they are awakened by a guard, who escorts them to Castle Fairfax on Lord Lucien's order. Overjoyed that their wish came true, the two follow eagerly. After meeting Lord Lucien and telling him of the box, he asks them to step in a circle on the floor. A blue light emits from the edge of the circle, and to Lucien's anger turns red upon his touch. Proclaiming that they are not any of the three, and one of them is the fourth, he shoots Rose, and afterward shoots Sparrow, who falls out of the window.

Upon waking up, Sparrow learns that he or she had survived the fall due to his or her heroic line, and was rescued by Theresa and the dog. Ten years later, Lucien has been rebuilding the Tattered Spire, which grants the user enormous power. Sparrow is told by the elderly woman that they are the descendant of a great hero, and destined to bring Lucien's downfall. However, Sparrow must first find three heroes in order to defeat Lucien with their combined powers. Given the quest to stop Lucien's plans, the Hero begins a great journey. He or she travels to Oakfield and finds Hammer, a monk who is upset at the fact she is not allowed to fight. When she turns out to be the Hero of Strength, she accompanies the Hero on his or her journey.

Then they set out to find the Hero of Will, Garth. When the Hero goes to his tower, they witnesses Garth's capture. He or she then becomes a guard in the Spire for ten years before they can rescue Garth. When they do, he kills the prison's warden then proceeds to the Hero of Skill, Reaver.

Reaver, who is a former pirate living in Bloodstone, tells the Hero to take a Dark Seal to his 'friends' in Wraithmarsh (the region surrounding and including the long-destroyed Oakvale from the original Fable). The Seal turns out to be an item marking its bearer for sacrifice to the Court of Shadows so that Reaver can be young forever. The Hero has a choice of sacrificing his or her youth, or the youth of a young woman who is trapped in the Court.

The Hero returns to Reaver at his mansion when Lucien and his army attack, brought by Reaver who wished to collect the bounty on the Hero. When Reaver learns that Lucien will also kill him, however, they escape together through a tunnel and Theresa convinces Reaver to join them until Lucien is defeated.

The Heroes perform a ritual on the hill above the old Guild of Heroes, but Lucien attacks them in the middle of the ritual, killing the Hero's dog and the Hero before capturing the others.

The Hero is taken to a dream-like paradise where he or she, transformed back into a child, spends a day playing with their sister, Rose. Once night falls, however, otherworldly music begins to play. The hero can choose whether or not to follow the music, while Rose pleads for him or her to stay. However, he or she must leave, forcing their way through his or her nightmares, if they ever wish to return to Albion. The Hero then acquires the music box from the beginning of the game. They are taken to the Spire where the Heroes are having their power absorbed by Lucien. The Hero defeats Lucien with the music box and then may shoot him, though delaying this too long will cause Reaver to revive and shoot Lucien instead, sarcastically asking the player if he or she had wanted to do that.

When Lucien dies, Theresa appears and grants the Hero one of three wishes: "Sacrifice", to resurrect the thousands of people killed in building by the Tattered Spire, but not their own loved ones; "Love", to resurrect their dog, sister, and if the Hero was married, his or her family, killed by Lucien while the Hero recruited Reaver; or "Wealth", the gift of 1,000,000 gold pieces delivered to the Guild Cave. Afterward, Hammer either congratulates or admonishes the player based on his or her choice and alignment, then the Heroes part ways and Theresa tells the player that Albion is his or hers to enjoy, but warns them that the Spire is hers. Only the "Love" ending allows post-credits play with the dog, though the "Knothole Island" DLC allows the player to resurrect the dog at Cheet-Ur's Crypt if one of the other endings is chosen.

In the DLC See The Future, the hero visits the spire once again, this time Theresa shows the hero a vision of the future. The vision shows the hero as King or Queen of Albion, this also hints towards Fable III as Theresa mentions that the child in the crib by the throne will become a great hero.

Setting

Well once again the game is set in albion, around 4-500 years into the future, And this game was just amazing it is my second favourite game next to fable III, for campaign reasons. Once again the areas were great with unique enimies and the difficulty of emimies depending on what type of day it is. Also some places have differences to what they were like in the previous fable, like oakville for example. The use of demon doors were a brilliant idea, all having different scenery, one with a very frightening scenery as you will know if you have played this game, demon doors also have some very good weapons inside.Although there are fewer locations than the previous game the new world is alot larger than the last. Also the way that choices you make can change the future of the land, like at the begining giving some papers to either a crook or a policeman can change bowerston old town, to a respected place, or a complete eyesore full of tacky houses, thieves and foul mouthed civilians.

Setting Rating:9/10

Gameplay

The gameplay was just... AMAZING. The way they kept the Good and Evil element to the game was a good choice, if you have not played this game the Good and Evil feature is, That many problems in the game come down to good and evil decisions, performing good deeds, will make your person a Smart figure and if completely pure you will have a halo above your head, but being evil will make you grow devil horns and be the stuff of nightmares.Being pure or curropted about the properties you own will either make you goodlooking, or ugly. This will affect how people see you, lowering chances of having sex. At first it was fun to just snap at a person and ultimately not paying your fine of killing 1 person, and wipeing out an intier village. One thing i actually found amazing once i found out is that what ever you spent your will points on(Will points, or orbs are collected after you have had a battle, and you use them to buy will powers, Will is magic.) affects your phisical appearance, like buying the strength makes your person have bigger muscles, buying powers that make you better at aiming with weapons make you be taller and buying magical spells make blue glowing lines appear all over your skin. Which answered quite a few questions i had in my head. The dog was a great feature, a really easy way of finding treasure, and dig spots also points you towards objects to do with quests. i loved the dog and i think i am currently on my 4th run of the campaign, as i wanted to do all 3 endings legit. and every time i would save up my money so i could buy a new breed off of murgo, I would always buy the dalmation, looked so cool. Also the way he is so attached to you his apperance changes due to you being evil or not, he also joins in on fights. The combat was great on this game due to 'Flourishes' flourishes were rewally cool slow motion attacks that were just BEAST! The DLC was great, i got mine for free because i bought the game of the year edition, and 'Knothole Island' was soo long to complete, it was like a new campaign it was brilliant, the way you could change the weather in order to get to chests and keys, and there was this one shop with really good 'easter egg' type weapons like one was a a guitar the as a weapon, the game is really imaginative which is why i love the game.

Gameplay Rating:10/10

Graphics

The graphics on this game are actually really good, again using 3rd person made the graphics look better than they are, Lionheads artist again gained my respect by making one of the greatest games ever, have not such a smooth feel to it but amazing detail, the graphics in general are just amazing. It was a great step up from the previous games graphics.

Graphics Rating:7/10

Multiplayer

The multiplayer on this game almost made me shoot myself, it was so bad it was unreal, the fact that both people had to be on the same screen just ruined it, but lionhead took note of this in the making of fable 3 and made it so each character had their own screen, in all the multiplayer wasnt my cup of tea, and probably not anyone elses either. It would have been a great multiplayer but due to the same screen issue, it was awful.

Multiplayer Rating:4/10

The first thing I should mention is the fact that this game is played over three discs. I can understand the need for these when you see the detail the game developers put into the game.

Using revolutionary new facial animation technology, the game is brought to life in a completely new way. Using the actual mo-cap (motion capture)/voice actors, the developers have brough the characters to life. The attention to detail is breathtaking you would believe youre standing next to the actors themselves.

(displayed throughout the game) Where you are on the beat and searching the scene of a crime. This introduces you to the basic controls, and how to search an area for clues to a crime. Using the vibration of your controller you are alerted when a clue is in the vicinity (you can turn this function off to make it harder). Throughout the tutorial you are shown how to drive, interrogate and shoot a gun.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Interrogation is a vital part of the game as you must determine if the P.O.I (person of interest) is lying or telling the truth, so watch their face, they can easily give themselves away. After asking a P.O.I a question you are given three options: Accept their telling the truth, doubt their answer, or flat-out call them a liar (you need to have actual proof when you accuse them of lying). You can easily choose the wrong option, which will result in one of your questions being answered falsely, which can change what you must do next. Cases can drag on if you continuously fail to get the right answers, as you will need to find proof of their guilt to proceed (you cannot process in the game until you solve a case).

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You have a few side missions which are street crimes. Basically when you get a call over the radio you can choose to investigate the crime, which usually results in a car chase or a shootout. There are 40 of these throughout the game. Another side mission is the newspapers which reveal much about one of the characters: Harlan Fontaine, whose story becomes vital.
Collectibles include Gold Film Reels (50 in total) scattered through the city. Landmarks (30) are also something you can collect, by simply visiting or viewing them as you drive past. You gain reputation points in the game doing almost everything. These help you move up the ranks.

Right, time for me to mention the cons of this game
For starters, the driving is a pain in the butt. The drivers around you simply dont care that youre on the road. Ive had cars being driven into me while I was parked, and they enjoy cutting in front of you when youre pursuing a suspect. Also, using the RIGHT TRIGGER carefully, as holding it down completely makes you go quite fast and navigating a turn can become a problem which then costs the city money in damages and you get abuse from your partner who is sat in the passenger seat.
Another issue the gameplay. After the tutorial and your first assignment with the Traffic department, the games starts to get repetitive. You join homicide and are simply solving the same case over and over (with a few minor details changed here and there). By the third case youre pretty certain that the murderer is the same person, yet you keep arresting someone else for the crime (it kinda makes police officers in the 1940s look stupid). This lasts until disc two, and then after the final case in homicide youre transferred to vice, which does offer a little variety, and begins the big story of the game, involving army surplus morphine being dealt on the streets of L.A. There is still a bit of repetitive-ness when its a case of you arriving at the crime scene, searching the scene, visiting suspects.blah blah blah.

Finally, the game does improve on the third disc when you switch characters and play the last portion of the game (expect one crime scene) as Jack Kelso, insurance investigator, who soon becomes an investigator with the District Attorney.

You still have to visit crime scenes and search for clues, but there is a little more gun action and chases with Jack.

With the stunning graphics and amazing technological advances, this game promises to be an experience. But it lacks anything to keep your brain working. The game does have a few puzzles (about 5 to my knowledge), but needs a lot more to make this game more intriguing.

My score:
8/10

(note: this could have gotten 10, but the repetitive gameplay, and lack of puzzles disappointed me. It could have also gotten a three but the graphics and story saved the game from being one of the lowest review I've done so far.)

Sorry but this has already been done.
But yours is more detailed.
so maybe they'll take yours insted.
