Brief synopsis of The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

Ang Lee's Hulk film lent a more thoughtful air to the recent flurry of Marvel Comics movie adaptations. The franchise could easily have become a rambunctious, SFX heavy romp, but the director chose a more psychological angle, probing the darkest recesses on Dr. Bruce Banner's mind for much of the film. And so it was with the film's inevitable accompanying videogame. Sneaking around as Banner, the aim was often to avoid transforming into the Hulk for as long as possible to avoid jeopardising your mission as you search for a cure. And we liked it quite a lot. Now the Hulk returns to consoles in The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. We pick up the story and Bruce finally has a much-longed for cure to his condition in his sights, and has constructed a machine in his forest hideout that may be able to help him. But the US government will stop at nothing in their misguided attempts to destroy the Hulk. In an attack on his lair, the machine is destroyed. It's lucky for Bruce that he's not alone ? his friend, the psychotherapist has been helping him to control his disorder, but now is the time to unleash the beast within. By undergoing hypnosis Bruce is able to summon the Hulk from within him at will ? the great green one's strength is his only hope if his wishes to gather the components he needs to rebuild his invention. As in the last game the Hulk's powers are beyond your wildest dreams. Pick up bits of the scenery and chuck them at your enemies as you roam freely through the game's 30 missions. 40 side challenges and over 150 attacks and combos ensure that this will take plenty of time to master. Face arch-enemies from the comic books such as the Abomination, Mercy and the Hulk-Busters as they stand between you and a normal, mutation free life. But just for the meantime, even if for the last time, enjoy it.

Button tapping frenzy

Simon Williams from Bournemouth , 15/06/2006

I am a big fan of the Marvel universe and love the Hulk film, so i rented this game. I didn't expect a plot or anything far removed from 'Hulk Smash'.

lets just say i was not disapointed, the paper thin story line is little more than an excuse to wanter though different locations distroying them. Which while fun for a while can become a little tedious.

Saying that the ability to perform a wide variety of moves and upgrade them latter in the game means it has some reason to carry on playing.

Though not a great game it will keep you amused for a few hours of pick up and smash straight out of the box however don't expect a game that will keep you engrosed for long periods of time.

Smashy Smashy

Its a fun game but not one to be taken seriously, You play as Hulk and smash things ups.

Theres more to it than just mindless smashing, you also have well thought out smashing. The levels can get a bit tedius as it sometimes has you jumping large distances to get to an area only to then chase something that is surrounded by enemies only to then carry object from what you have destoyed to a 'jump marker' whilst getting chased by enemies. This can be fun but it happens a bit too much. But the fact that the game lets you use hulk to his full potential and everything you can imagine him doing gives it that forth star for me.

I bought the game but It is more of a rental in the end
