The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

Previous Hulk games haven't been quite up-to-par with other superhero franchises, featuring tedious Bruce Banner stealth bits instead of placing the emphasis where it should be: smashing stuff, and having that stuff smash up real good.

Fortunately, that isn't a problem with the latest installment. This game is all about creating as much destruction as possible in any way you see fit, be it ripping a car in two to make Hulk-sized novelty Hulk hands, using a truck as a shield, or fashioning a boulder into the world's largest bowling ball. Not only that, but Hulk has a large variety of moves that give the player a lot of options for combat.

I can't really comment on the story, since I skipped it. I've never been the biggest fan of the Green Machine's mythos and backstory, so I suppose your mileage might vary. But not that much, thanks to flat-as-cardboard voice acting.

All in all, this game really makes you feel like you're in control of a gargantuan green Goliath. The boss fights are especially great: when you go against a giant Hulk-busting robot that levels entire city blocks with each laser sweep, you know you're having fun.

Unfortunately, the game drags with the repetitious combination of escort, destroy, and fetch story missions. I can appreciate that Banner wants to return himself to normal, but destroying an entire building just to snatch a CAT scan? That's a little lame. Plus, you'll be right at the end of a mission when a bevy of Hulk-seeking missiles and Hulk-crushing mechs always seem to show up and gun you down. Even poor Greenie can't do much when he's being wailed on from all sides.

BOTTOM LINE: Probably the best superhero game of this console generation. Hulk smash!

WOW!!

Hands down, the best superhero game ever! So many moves to acquire it will keep you playing for a long time. Even after you finish it you'll want to go back just to destroy everything. Good anger management, that's for sure!

Note: Don't bother playing the mini games to gain extra points. There fun but useless. You can acquire just as much, if not more points just free roaming. Plus you'll improve your fighting skills because the game gets harder as you go along.

Hulk Smash Plot Lines!!

I love a good, intricate storyline in a game as much as the next person. The RPG, known for it's generally intricate plotline, is one of my favorite genres. And to The Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction's credit, it does contain a story penned by a seasoned comicbook author. And again to the game's credit, the story really isn't too bad (fairly generic, but servicable). The script is voiced adequatly, and presented in a way that doesn't deter from the real focus of the game: Rampant, wanton, gratuitous destruction in some of the most creative ways possible. I love The Hulk as a character. I even liked the Ang Lee flick (no hate mail please-myfriends give me enough crap for that one as it is). There's something cathartic about a nearly indestructable creature that operates on pure Id. Who doesn't want to just lose it when we get pushed too far? This game has many things going for it: it controls very well, nearly every object in the vast and varied environments is destructable in some way shape or form, and the graphics are certainly servicable (although not top-notch). The best way to describe this is to take an open gamespace like the Grand Theft Auto games, minus the infuriatingly difficult missions, and add a set of missions that beg you to destroy everything. Every mission is based in some way on the premise of you as a giant green demolition expert. Now this may sound like it would wear thin quickly, but the game does remain fresh do in large part to a huge selection of upgraded moves that you can 'buy' with smashpoints, which are awarded via smashing things (deep huh?). It is really a massive orgy of soothing mayhem, and mercy is it ever satisfying! If you tried out the first Hulk game, please be aware that this is NOTHING like that. There are no more tedious sneaking missions as Bruce Banner. YOU ARE THE HULK, and the Jade Giant is an absolute gas in this title. Like the GTA games, you are not forced into playing missions (although this does unlock new moves and arenas to play in). You can take on side quests which are not only pretty creative, but downright hilarious in others (try 'batter up!' for an example of the latter). If the first Hulk game and Ang Lee's movie left a sour taste in your mouth when it comes to Mr. Green Genes, then give this one a shot. In my opinion, they got the essence of the Hulk down pat, and show him for the fun character that he can be. Later!

Excellent

This was fun for a few hours, but it got old pretty quick, it just started to feel very repeatitive, and it doesnt look that great to smash things anyhow cause the free roam world just looked a little cheap, it all looks like a very crisp PsOne game to me. I guess Im not a huge fan of the hulk in particular, his die-hard fans will be totally loving this. It was fun to throw stuff and kick puny humans around, but after I ripped a car apart and made it into smashing gloves for the 20th time, it had all lost it's novelty. I bought it here for $10 in December, and traded it to gamestop for 6 in february. As a bargin bin item it was worth it for awhile, but Im glad I didnt buy it when it was new.

AWESOME!

I've never been a fan of super heroes. I don't really understand the movies if I watch them and I don't really pay attention to what goes on. But for games I can appreciate them better, even if I only pay attention to Spiderman, The Punisher, and this guy, The Incredible Hulk when it comes to super hero games. I heard all of the praise and love for this game from other people so I decided to purchase it, and holy crap did it deliver. This game features a great selection of missions and hilarious side missions that can earn you smash points to buy more moves to unleash hell upon the citizens who reside in the city each stage takes place. The basic story is about Bruce Banner's quest to find a cure from the abomination that lies within him, all while being hunted by the military. When you're in the city you can toss cars, smash cars, blow up cars, throw innocent bystanders at police officers and soldiers, throw cows at different objects, destroy buildings, take out strike teams, destroy tanks, break down poles and use them as bats to hit citizens as if they were home runs, and do so many other wonderfully and gleefully violent destructive things because this game is so freaking cool! The only flaws to this game are dated graphics, some dumb AI, and not all the side missions are fun. But you will have a great time playing this awesome game even if you don't care about super heroes. In fact, there are some things in this game that I wish were in the Xbox 360 classic open-world title Crackdown because some of the mechanics from this game should be on that one as well. Don't ignore this game, it's way too awesome to miss out on.

Emphasis on "Destruction"

I didn't realize the Hulk was a supervillain. Within the first half hour of play, I had caused enough death and destruction to make Lex Luthor cringe. But it was undeniably fun.

The game looks great in 720p HD, with sharp detail and brilliant color in its comic book inspired environment. Sound design is perfect, too, with grade A voice acting and stunning destructive sound effects. While it's clearly a cartoonish world, the landscape of Ultimate Destruction is just as immersive as any of the best open-world games.

The amount of environmental interactivity is amazing, with vehicles, bridges, and even skyscrapers placed under the Hulk's big green thumb. Certainly my favorite parts of the game were the epic boss battles, which more than made up for some of the mediocre story missions. While they appear to be massively overpowered behemoths at first, each can be surmounted with careful observation and prudent attacks. The boss battles are the kind of white-knuckled sweaty-palmed experience that action gamers dream of.

The only things preventing Ultimate Destruction from being pure joy are the spastic camera and excessive numbers of enemies allowed to attack the Hulk simultanteously. Picture a wildy swinging camera while ten helicopters barrage Hulk with disabling missile attacks, and you can imagine what a brutal mess some of the missions are.

The quality and quantity of attack moves is stunning. I enjoyed trying random button combinations just to see the spectacular animations, even though many attacks require such complicated button combos that they're useless in battle. I would have preferred a smaller, simpler, easier to master move set, but I know many action gamers enjoy the Street Fighter control philosophy.

I really appreciated my time spent with the Hulk, even though I'm not a comic book fan. I'm sure a dedicated Hulkophile will love the game all the more.

f@!*#g cool

At First When I Got It, It Seemed Fun. Then As The Minutes Go By It Got Boring Quick. The Missions Suck, The Bosses Are Too Hard. I Just Sold My Game, If You Buy This Game You'll Be Doing The Same
