Studios are banking on the success of movies like Iron Man and The Dark Knight . The comic book making its way to theatres is The Incredible Hulk, based on Marvel Comics' green goliath. Of course, with a new movie comes the inevitable new video game tie-in. This time, though, the Hulk's rage comes to consoles courtesy of Sega and Edge of Reality.
The last time we saw the Hulk going solo in a game was in 2005's critical and commercial hit, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Ultimate Destruction managed to strike a chord with gamers by faithfully recreating the sheer power and scale of the Hulk's strength and abilities. Due to the overwhelming success of Ultimate Destruction, comparisons between it and this latest game are inevitable. And while this next-gen Incredible Hulk may have a new developer and publisher, you can't help but feel like this new title is Ultimate Destruction with a new, shiny coat of paint."
James writes - "Last month I ventured into the debatable legacy left by the Iron Man video game, which coincided with the monumental launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not long after, the big green angry member of the Avengers received his own video game in tandem with a blockbuster film. Now, ten years on, it’s time to look back at SEGA’s The Incredible Hulk to find out if he lived up to the ‘Incredible’ moniker!"
hulk: ultimate destruction was and is the best hulk game till this day. maybe insomniac can work on hulk after spidey? I wish
Agreed. I still throw it on now and again. Huge comic book gallery in there. Those are the kinda collectibles I enjoyed collecting. Practical things you can look at later, not just orbs/shards/feathers.
Kyle grew up playing a lot of video games. However, licensed video games, good and bad, hold a special place in his heart.
It's been too long since Ultimate Destruction gave us a magnificent excuse to cause absolute chaos with the Hulk. Why haven't we seen anything like it since? Click to find out!
All I want is a gory Marvel game. Maybe a Marvel Civil War RPG.
But blood and gore like X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Loved the hell outta Ultimate Destruction. So fun to run around and destroy things.
The team who made Ultimate Destruction are too busy making those Prototype games which... haven't really worked to reel people in the way the Hulk did.
One thing you will never see is a gory Marvel game that doesn't fit the character or the comics. It's because of the target audience being so young, some parents actually monitor what their kids play and so your sales will drop if you make an M rated superhero game. Wolverine's Origins game was great fun, but it was awkward taking your kids to the PG movie, only for them to not be old enough to play the game when they got home.

you can say that again
prototype wasn't bad but they did their best work with hulk

I'm the minority, but I would love a sequel to Marvel Nemesis: Rise of The Imperfects.
I thought the studio that made the hulk games closed?
I know there's others out there that can do a new one..
It would be nice... Also a new prototype would be cool too
