Hulk

Things I like about this game:

• Kirby's diner at the beginning of the game, which Bruce goes inside its bathroom. The diner is named after Jack Kirby, one of the games's creators.

• The password codes in the Desperate Measures level to unlock the doors.

• All the soldiers.

• Those nasty wolves.

Hulk is a blast - there's two styles of gameplay, one is stealth-avoidance as Banner and fast-paced over the top action as Hulk.

Hulk gameplay is definitely the star, with Hulk able to smash just about everything in the world. The box claims "if you can see it, you can smash it" - when you play it, you'll find out that's true.

Hulk smashes walls, cracks the floor and can use pretty much anything as a weapon to fight with.

The voice acting from the cinema crew really adds to the experience. There are also a bunch of extras such as movies and photo galleries from the movie, so all in all it's a nice package.

Most striking are the graphics. The game has a snazzy visual style which looks somewhere in between the movie and a comic - it's really quite different.

Once you've gone through the game you can play through again as Grey Hulk, the wise-cracking version of the Hulk from the 80's comics. This feature really makes playing the game a different experience and extends playtime once you've been through the game.

My take: 8.5/10, recommended!

I don't know if it's fair to say that the video game Hulk is EASILY better than the infamous film it's based off of. I hated the film seeing it in the cinemas in 2003, but thankfully the game is so much better and more entertaining than Ang Lee's unfortunate misfire. The game has a better tone than the film and the graphics are actually still beautiful 14 years since its release. The Bruce Banner missions are frustrating compared to the Hulk levels, but it's good to see they actually let you play both sides to the HULK character.

Where other movie-licensed games failed, this one succeeded in standing out from the crowd, at least back in 2003 it did. And considering this game tried being Metal Gear Solid and Batman: Vengeance (sort of) in the one package that's a pretty different but oddly good combo for a game.

It's not the greatest game in the history-of-ever or anything, but it IS a competently done and directed game.

This game has a lot of smashing in it alright, but it is not as good a game as "Hulk: Ultimate Destruction" which came out two or three years later. This one would top that game in smashing thanks to minigames where all the Hulk just runs around destroying as many objects as he can and beating as many soldiers as he possibly can. To me this was the funnest part of the game. The game itself takes place after the game as Bruce is on the run and turning into the Hulk when cornered. One of the things I did not care for was the stealth missions involving Bruce, I bought this game to smash! For the most part that is what I did. At times you fought some other super powered foes and at times this was annoying too as Hulk is supposed to be the strongest one there is, and at times it seemed like the bad guy was. I did like how you could pick up stuff and then smash the stuff over your enemies. The fighting as the Hulk though overall was good and it is what made the game worth playing, that and the appearance of various villains from the comics. So while Ultimate Destruction is by far the more enjoyable game, this one is also smashingly good fun.

This game was way ahead of its time...the fighing was great..hulk had some pretty great moves..graphics were great for that time..the missions were intense
