Summary: Emphasis on "Destruction"
Comment: 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.

Summary: A CLASSIC OPEN-WORLD GAME 9.25 OUT OF 10
Comment: 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.

Summary: HULK SMASH!!!!
Comment: This game is like most superhero games, in that it's a sandbox game, and while at first it's thrilling to smash things and feel like the Hulk, it gets boring. Luckily, the missions add some diversion, but like the sandbox structure, it gets repetitive. While I enjoy it simply to turn on and destroy, it's not one that I played the entire way. Recomended if you love the Hulk or smashing. Oh, and light years better than the last Hulk game.

Summary: Meh..
Comment: 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.
