Before I go on, I would like to say that this review is for the Playstation TWO - and it is still awesome!
It has what I and many people want in a videogame...a combination of Rampage, the recent Spider-man games, GTA (but better than GTA), and the Hulk. And that's pretty much all I want. And it delivered.
At first, I was hesistent to pick up this title because it's for an old-gen system, but the graphics are still solid and you don't really care about the graphics anyways once you start having fun as the Hulk.
A small disparity in graphics and one or two less skins/characters make this is much more worthwhile purchase than the PS3/XBOX360 versions, considering that they are like $30 more.
I wasn't even a Hulk fan before this game (I mean, a character like this....why would I want to READ about it, you know?), but this game has made me a believer and has made plenty references to the comics (I know the references from the several other Marvel comics I've read).
Like I said earlier, this game is sort of in the format of the recent Spider-man (movie) games, so if you liked them, you'll probably like this one.
Of course this game is WAY better than the Spider-man movie games, which is saying a lot because those games were solid. First of, the difficulty levels aren't as ridiculous (in the challenges). Fun is emphasized with the extra content, not impossible difficulty levels. You can choose the order in which you want to play the various stories. Not only can you cover a lot of territory, low and high, like Spider-man can, you can destroy it all! And Spider-man is so "puny" compared to the Hulk: I don't think I can go back to getting hurt by street punks (like I did in the Spider-man games), after jumping everywhere smashing robots and army groups in this game. The tokens are a lot easier to collect, meaning it seems possible that a person can actually be able to eventually get all these, without a strategy guide.
I haven't played Ultimate Destruction, but I am definitely planning on doing so after playing this.
So glad I bought this instead of renting it. I wouldn't have had time to do all of the cool stuff the Hulk can do in a couple of days.
Other reasons I love this game:
-It's a movie tie-in game - and it actually means something!
-It is a good introduction to the Hulk character (well, not exactly as far as origin goes, but in general)
-No one can claim that this game is ridiculously hard at any time once you're in the Hulk mentality
-It has plenty of references to not just the Hulk, but other Marvel comics
-There are some funny moments with the Hulk, cinematics wise
-The moves are super cool
-There are punks in everyone of these sort of games (GTA, Spider-man) that just lurk around every street corner waiting for you, at least when your threat level goes up, but in this one, you actually have interesting people to fight - not cops or street scum
-The unlockables are nice
-Good controls
The future Spider-man game makers have their work cut out for them. |
Fun -stress relief

Worried about gas going over $4 a gallon, then have the hulk pound all the cars into scrap metal. The mortgage crisis have you down? Have the hulk smash every building in the whole city to rubble!
The hulk is a priceless way to ease your mind and release stress.Who doesn't like beating up helpless civilians then tossing them a mile into the sky or in a lake.
This in my opinion is the best hulk game ever. Even better than ultimate destruction.
The graphics look awesome. The models look very detailed and the textures look sharp and vibrant. The city really feels alive, from the cars and trucks driving around on their waypoints to the pedestrians walking along the city streets. To take the immersion up a notch, vehicles will actually hit reverse or turn sharply to avoid the big green dude.
Theres plenty to do in this city, from random encounters with squads of enclave that shoot at civilians and blow up buildings or the boss villians that appear randomly, to smashing cars, beating up civilians, destroying buildings or if your threat level gets too high even crushing tanks or fighting the Kyklops which is a robot taller than a building that will stomp the hulk with his foot. Then theres the twisted crazy taxi mini-game where the hulk carries taxi cabs to their destinations!
The game makes great use of the havok physics engine, EVERYTHING can be damaged or destroyed in ultra cool fashion and most debris can be used by the hulk as some kind of weapon. A good example is when Ironclad picks up a car and pummels it over the hulks head! Something I never grow tired of doing is throwing cars into the side of buildings and watching it become lodged there.
This game has a highly detailed, beautiful open-ended city to completely destroy.Plenty of extra's like different skins and mini games to unlock. Many villians like the enclave, u-foes, military, mechs, robots to fight just to name a few, the action never ends...
If you like destruction then this game's for you. |
Little Bugger won't stop playing it!

| My 9yo son and his 14yo friend play this (taking turns) non stop during sleep overs. Even though they have completed the game, they keep going back to play it again. One of the better games we've bought. |
Fun Title

This game is really fun!!! The great thing about it is you get to smash EVERYTHING!! You can even bring down buildings!!!! That's is awesome. You can interact with just about everything on the screen. The missions themselves are cool, but the challenge games and all the little hidden treasures and items is what makes me want to spend hours on the game. The plot itself is a little hokey. What is cool is it actually combines Stark Industries and for you comic book lovers, that is the company of Tony Stark who is Iron Man. There is one mission where you protect the early Iron Man prototype suits. Really fun.
I recommend this game if you are looking for a title that you can just play and destroy while maintaining some sort of mission objective!! |
