Other comic book character based games are green with envy!
This game was designed as all comic book character based games should be, around the character. Too many games craft a story and simply place you in the story as a character that resembles your favorite character but does not play as they should. The UD developers obviously built this game around the character of The Hulk. They created The Hulk with all of his abilities as true to the comics as possible and then created a huge sandbox type environment for the player to go crazy in, and they crafted a story that is just good enough that it sets the mood well and does not take anyting away from the experience. This is how these kinds of games should be made, developers need to understand that the player wants to feel like the character first, and play through the story second.
In UD you are Dr. Bruce Banner and you are trying to cure yourself of the genetic curse that causes you to change into big green whenever you get peeved. Through the story you will come up against some of The Hulk's oldest enemies and smash through two huge environments.
The gameplay is where this game shines. If you think you can do it you usually can. Pick up huge objects and use them as weapons, check. Leap miles into the air, you bet. Smash through tons of military hardware, duh! You can even demolish a few buildings along the way, but these are instanced so you can't level the whole city area. I wish you could destroy any building you see, but the fact that you can't does not take away from the experience of the game.
The graphics are great. Big green looks tough and heavy as he should, and the developers took a lot of time to make the animations look brutal. The environments look great. Enough so that they set the mood very well and provide a great backdrop for the smashing of many objects.
The sound is also good with some good music and great sound effects. The voice work is spotty but it does not take away from the experience of the game.
This game is a great value. First, you can play the entire campaign over with all of your previously unlocked abilities after you beat the game once. This is a feature that is absent in most action/adventure games which is peculiar because it raises the re-play value so much. This game is now also priced at a "Greatest Hits" level, which takes the value through the roof.
All things considered this game is one of the bright spots in the endless darkness of comic book character based games. There have been so many bad ones that some fans shy away from new ones for fear of disappointment. Well rest assured that this is a high-quality super-fun robot-smashing tank-hurling gamma-powered destruction festival. And if you like The Hulk and play games, you should get it.
