Guide Review - The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction Review - PS2, GameCube, Xbox
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction really is the culmination of the free-roaming hero game. There was much comparison between Grand Theft Auto and Spiderman the videogame when it came out, and rightfully so. The Hulk takes it all a step further. You can roam the streets picking up busses and throwing them into tanks until your thumbs get sore. There is a central hideout, where you get missions and such, but most of the action takes place in sprawling levels that you can trash to your heart's content.
With a 150 unlockable moves, tons of unlockable cheat codes, 30+ story missions and 40+ side missions there is a ton of green gaming here to keep you busy. Unfortunately, some of the missions are slow and tedious (why is the Hulk asked repeatedly to run a foot race?).
At the end of the gamma ray, Ultimate Destructions surely captures the fury and power of the Hulk. Controlling the Hulk is easy and satisfying. The Hulk is a great game that, with some tweaking, could be superb.
