NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA and BEDMINSTER, NJ — Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading wireless provider, Disney Mobile and Pixar Animation Studios today announced the availability of The Incredibles 3D mobile game on Verizon Wireless' new V CAST wireless broadband multimedia service. V CAST from Verizon Wireless is the first true wireless broadband consumer multimedia service in the country, allowing customers to view crystal clear graphics for 3D games and video clips because it runs on Verizon Wireless' Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) network - the fastest widely available wide-area wireless broadband network in the United States.

The Incredibles 3D is an action-packed game that features all of your favorite characters from the Academy Award®-winning, Walt Disney Pictures presentation of a Pixar Animation Studios film, The Incredibles. Players assume the roles of Mr. Incredible and Dash, guiding them through sixteen dynamic levels of play using the characters' incredible powers to combat the evil forces and traps of Syndrome. Players help Mr. Incredible dodge and punch his way through obstacle-ridden courses, while Dash relies on his superhuman bursts of speed to outrun his pursuers. The game boasts vibrant 3D environments, based on the 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 Wireless' V CAST is a leap forward in the evolution of wireless entertainment.
