You Won't Like Me When I'm Angry...

User Rating: 8.1 | The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction XBOX
Back a while ago, a game simple entitled "Hulk" was released, and though it didn't completely follow the movie's story, it was released along with the movie, and I wasn't overly impressed with the game. But, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is a great game based on everyone's favourite green ball of anger.

You play as Bruce Banner, a.k.a, The Incredible Hulk, and you're living in the middle of nowhere working on a cure for the Hulk, when the government finds out where Bruce has been hiding, and proceed to blow up his house. Bruce becomes the Hulk, and you then get to smash your way out of the situation. The bad dude who tried to blow you up finds the stuff Bruce had been using to cure himself, and he contracts the Hulk disease from it. Bruce then hides in an abandonned chuch and works with his friend to try and cure himself.

Ultimate Destruction is an awesome Hulk game for many reasons, but the main one would be freedom. You have an entire city to smash, and some buildings can even be destroyed completely until they're piles of rubble. You can use pretty much anything as a weapon, street lights, cars, tanks, robots, gas station signs, and pretty much anything else that isn't nailed to the floor, and loads of stuff that IS nailed to the floor. But, you can do more than just hit things. Certain objects can be used differently through "weaponisation". This is where you find a new use for your object, like if you have a car, it can be ripped apart to make a pair of STEEL BOXING GLOVES! And, if you have a truck or a van, you can make a shield out of it, which (if you have the move), you can use it as a surfboard, and many more awesome weaponisations. These are a lot of fun, and they can get you out of some sticky situations, and they give you that real
"HOLY !@#$ I'M THE INCREDIBLE HULK" feel. You also have standard Hulk abilities like super huge jumping, super moves that destroy basically everything and really annoy the government because you just destroyed your 68th Hulkbuster robot, which is unbelievably satisfying. The missions are fun, and enough variety, from infiltration missions, fetching missons, and protecting missions. These are fun, and you get to smash plenty of bad guys so you get plenty of points to spend on new combos and secrets. The secrets are mostly the Hulk wearing different pants, usually based on a nation's flag, or you can unlock Joe Fixit, who is more commonly known as Grey Hulk, and he is loads of fun to play as with his smart aleck comments. The in-game graphics leave a little to be desired, but the graphics in the cutscenes are cool, and the music is awesome. It really gives that Hulk feel.

The only problem is that after you've played the story, just smashing stuff endlessly will become a little repetitive, and the missions are sometimes tediously hard, compared to most of the games simple missions.

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is a game I can recommend to anyone who loves freedom, and breaking stuff.
