film, which include: Nomanisan Island, Lava Caves, Syndrome's Lair on Nomanisan
Island, and the city streets of Metroville.
"The Incredibles 3D is a fantastic mobile game with great characters, action
and imagery that could only be realized with 3D technologies made possible by
wireless broadband," said Larry Shapiro, executive vice president and general
manager, North American Mobile, the Walt Disney Internet Group. "Verizon
