This game requires a 3D Accelerator Card. But it's pro

This game requires a 3D Accelerator Card. If you want to play this on your computer you'll want to buy one. Judging by the PC version Screen Shots it will probably require a 32mb or a 64 mb 3D Accelerator Card with full Transform and Lightening. It'll be the first Hulk game made for PC. I plan to buy it. I think that you'll be able to play as the Gray Hulk in this game also.

A fun, action packed game. And that was just the demo.

This game is loads of fun. I downloaded and played the demo and enjoyed the limited amount of play I got from this game. If the full version is ANY better than the demo, then this game is worth buying...

Pleasantly surprised...

When I heard that the PC version of The Hulk was twenty dollars cheaper that any of the versions available for the consoles (Xbox, Gamecube and PS2) I decided it was worth the risk even though I rarely buy computer games. As a result, I was pleasantly surprised. Based on some of the previews I read about the game, I knew that there were some concerns based on the use of cell-shading. Personally, I thought it looked great. I think the game producers were trying to find a nice balance from the look of the comics to that of the movie when they decided to go with cell-shading. I think they succeeded. The colors just seem to jump out at you. The controls are simple and easy to manage. As the Hulk, you can jump from one building to another, punch your enemies, grab them in a chokehold, or use your gamma powers. Based on what I've played so far, the gamma powers seem to come in two forms: the gamma slap which focuses a wave of energy at an enemy in front of you or the gamma crush which incapacitates all enemies around you in a seismic wave. As you destroy enemies, they will leave green orbs which you can absorb to increase your strength. The more havoc you create, the more higher your rage meter will increase. When it's filled, the Hulk will become almost indestructible, yet for only a short period of time. As Bruce Banner the jump button is substituted with a stealth move that allows you to tippy toe past armed guards or spotlights. There are also punch and grab buttons but they aren't nearly as effective as when you are the Hulk. The game is broken down into two levels-Bruce Banner and the Hulk. The Banner levels offer a nice variation to the Hulk levels but tend to get repetitious quickly. They basically involve sneaking past armed guards or spotlights to reach a destination. Why you can't transform into the Hulk during these levels seems like a blown opportunity. Instead you either start a level as Banner or the Hulk. Now the Hulk levels is where the fun begins. Everything in the surrounding environment is destructible. You can crack walls, collapse building posts, crush doors, and throw objects. During one level, I repeatedly threw soldiers at a door till it broke open. One can only imagine the amount of flexibility the game allows to create mayhem. The game also offers a variety of unlockables and cheats. Other than the film trailer and a quick behind the scenes making of the game promo that are initially available, you can try to unlock a documentary based on the special effects of the film, game modes, photographs from the movie, and various cheats such as playing as the Grey Hulk. I also read somewhere that the film will offer clues to unlock more easter eggs within the game. Other than the repetitious Banner levels, I was also disappointed with the install time of the game. I have a P4 2.4 gig system and it took nearly twenty minutes to install the entire game. The game comes with three disks and are housed in a double binded jewel case not unlike Enter the Matrix which was packaged in a flimsy cardboard sheath. Other than a few complaints, The Hulk more than takes advantage of it's movie license with it's variety of unlockables. I would highly recommend this game to any hardcore fan or casual PC gamer.

This game is awsome. That is, if you like The Hulk. This game is cool you can smash almost anything you want in in almost any level. The game also has great sound quality and good graphics. Of course you might need a good computer like mine - p4 2.66 ghz geforce 4 sony vaio...

My enthusiasm for the film and even the demo version notwithstanding, this PC game is a dog, no, it's a Gamma Green Hulk-Dog.

Imagine the worst, most annoying camera angles imaginable,
impossible "puzzles" that would've made Banner Hulk-out given the frustration level (and I'm good with puzzles, if my experience with JKII: Outcast is a gauge),
and repetitive, deployment of the game's cannon fodder of Special Ops soldiers.

There are well-designed villains in this game, but even in the unlocked modes, you can't play them. The first-person view option is poorly executed, since you can't do much in first-person except look around. The vaunted destructability of the environment is very limited. Finally the game is about linear as anything out of 1995. Why you need 3 CDs to play this game escapes me.

Fun for a while but an incredible disappointment...

Ok look, I love the HULK and everything but this game is just not satisfactory... It is fun to run around and bash things for a while but after a while it gets very repetitive.

First off I found the game control to be incredibly horrible. You can't even use the mouse while playing the game! You have to use a keyboard or controller. The camera moves around and you don't have the ability to control it, sometimes you can't even see what is attacking you! The game also uses the lock onto target system which does not make any sense to me since you are not using a gun. It seems like they used it only because the controls are so bad it's hard to hit anything. Maybe it's just because I am used to 1st Person PC games. If you like the standard console game interfaces and you have a good controller, you will probably be fine with it.

I found the Banner parts to be incredibly boring. You cant even jump and you have to sneak around and avoid everything. I know they were trying to add some stealth and strategy but I do not think they added any depth. Honestly I can't truly judge the banner parts because I used the cheats to skip them.

The story is not conveyed that well. They use text in-between parts when they should have at least conveyed it through animation or even better just through real time game actions and dialog. It really takes away from the mood. It is however useful to quickly figure out what is going on if you want to skip the Banner parts.

The game was incredibly short. I beat it in one day, I was not keeping track of time but I think it was about 5 hours. Of course I skipped the Banner parts. ;-)

The end bosses were easily beaten. I seriously only hit some of them a few times and it was over in seconds. I think the first boss I fought, the vampire guy, actually put up a fight but that was about it. The tanks were harder to take out then the super villains!

The other complaint I have is that the color pallet is too low or something. The animations and game play look all washed out.

Ok, with all that being said, it is the HULK! Its still fun to stomp, clap, smash, bash and throw your enemies around. It's also fun to pick up, throw and break almost everything in the game. They have some fun little challenge games that can be played, for example, see how much stuff you can break in 5 minutes. The physics and particle systems are cool too. I also like how they used the voices from the actual actors. They have some media relating to the movie which is also a nice feature, except there is a glitch and the images fly by really fast... I also enjoyed the cheat that allows you to play as the gray hulk with his sly remarks...

The bottom line is that it's fun for a wile, just make sure you are ok with the controls and don't expect a lot of play time or depth to the story or great end boss battles...

Hulk-a-mania!!!!

No, this game is not a dog. For the average console gamer who does not understand how to re-configure keyboard controlls for the pc version until it gets comfortable for you as an individual, this game is awkward. For everyone else, with a brain, this game is very VERY good. Of course, standard fare. Fight,jump,smash,flip a switch, hide, smash again... But , the cut scene cell shading is very mood setting. The fighting action is smooth and clean. Dozens of random and creative moves keep it relatively fresh. The voice acting is being done by the movie actor himself! Very high quality voice over acting. The bosses are a tad too easy, though. I just went up against boss #2 and i have not had to start over because they overwhelmed me. Actually, it was a little too easy to get them on the first try. The stealth missions are moderatley difficult, without being impossible for a newbie. After putting in about 8 hours, i can say that i am not bored. I am actually curious what will happen next. Well...back to the game...WAIT..I ALMOST FORGOT... Why does this game need so many cds'? I have played far more complex games that fit onto one cd......

Great game

Most people have seen all of the marvel cartoon television shows. X-Men, Spider-man, Batman, and of course, The Incredible Hulk. Now that we have computer technology, game manufacturers can make any character come to life. Children enjoy playing the role of a superhero in a modern video game. When a kid sees the latest video game in a store, they immediately want it. The qualities in a video game include graphics, cheat codes, and....... well just those two factors. Every popular movie comes out with a boss video game!!! The Hulk is an incredible character. Like most common characters, he has to deal with a problem. A huge, bulky, green problem. Let the kids let their imagination run wild. The Hulk is a great game to let kids express themselves.... in a violent, fun way. I encourage kids to have fun with the new Hulk video game. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to play the Hulk game.

Great Game

I thought this game was a great change from the ever boring "First Person Shooter" type games in which all you do is run around watching the end of whatever gun your carrying. OOOooo.... you picked up a bigger gun and some ammo.. same game... different gun.

I actually enjoyed the change in camera angles. It keeps the game from being a left right up down type deal which I find very boring. Gives you different angles on the action... especially when your bashing somthings head in.

The game is original, new, and interesting... not just grab a gun and shoot stuff....P>J
