Robert Workman reports:
''Creating a stellar game off a summer blockbuster is a monster of a goal for any publisher, and The Incredible Hulk, based on the Universal movie of the same name that opens this Friday, somewhat hits the mark. Sega did a decent job creating an attractive game that lets you roam around and break things, but poor artificial intelligence and boring fights eventually lead to its demise.
Unsurprisingly, the game follows the film's storyline, although a few stray missions waver off into comic book territory. General "Thunderbolt" Ross is eager to create genetically mutating soldiers for the sake of strengthening the military, something scientist Bruce Banner doesn't agree with. Rather than hand over his research or disclose that he can already mutate himself into a nearly invincible green guy, he goes on the run. After smacking soldiers, tanks and other vehicles around as the Hulk, the road leads to New York City, where bigger threats, namely the powerful Enclave group and a transformed soldier called Abomination, await.''
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.
@VINNIEPAZ
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
