North Hollywood, Calif. – November 23, 2004 – Disney Online and Pixar Animation Studios has unleashed “The Incredibles: Escape from Nomanisan Island,” a new action, adventure downloadable PC game available from the Internet (www.TheIncredibles.com ).  The game features Mr. and Mrs. Incredible and their kids, Violet and Dash, the superhero stars of the blockbuster Walt Disney Pictures presentation of  a Pixar Animation Studios film “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 $19.95 at www.TheIncredibles.com.

 

“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.
