4.0 out of 5 stars Hulk-a-mania!!!!, June 8, 2003

No, this game is not a dog. For the average console gamer who does not understand how to re-configure keyboard controlls for the pc version until it gets comfortable for you as an individual, this game is awkward. For everyone else, with a brain, this game is very VERY good. Of course, standard fare. Fight,jump,smash,flip a switch, hide, smash again... But , the cut scene cell shading is very mood setting. The fighting action is smooth and clean. Dozens of random and creative moves keep it relatively fresh. The voice acting is being done by the movie actor himself! Very high quality voice over acting. The bosses are a tad too easy, though. I just went up against boss #2 and i have not had to start over because they overwhelmed me. Actually, it was a little too easy to get them on the first try. The stealth missions are moderatley difficult, without being impossible for a newbie. After putting in about 8 hours, i can say that i am not bored. I am actually curious what will happen next. Well...back to the game...WAIT..I ALMOST FORGOT... Why does this game need so many cds'? I have played far more complex games that fit onto one cd......

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre, not Incredible, January 5, 2006

The appeal to this game is that you're supposed to experience the power of the Hulk. For the first half hour or so of the game, this might be true. The ground cracks under your feet, you swat missiles away like gnats, and being the Hulk you, well, smash. Unfortunately the game itself falls apart after a very short while.

First, there are the very annoying Banner missions. The idea behind these is solid; you get to play the Hulk's other half and the levels add a stealth aspect to the game. Unfortunately, the Banner levels are like a very dumbed down version of Metal Gear Solid. The environments are sparse and you're really just standing around as the occasional guard walks by. They get old fast and generally drag down the entertainment value of the game.

The Hulk levels are slightly more fun, but they too get very repetitive very quickly. The Hulk has a handful of smashing moves, including the thunderclap from the comics, and he can pick up rubble and whatnot to throw or to use as a melee weapon. Unfortunately, while the game certainly has a power aspect to it, you don't really feel the Hulk's strength because you spend the whole game fighting soldiers and the gamma dogs from the movie. We're talking about a guy who can bench busses and who swats missiles away with his bare hands; I don't want to spend ten hour hitting soldiers, even if they do have some fancy high-tech shields. What's worse is that these guys actually take multiple hits to go down. I thought the Hulk was supposed to be incredible, not just above average.

Beyond the early and occasional fun of smacking people around as the Hulk, the game offers very little else. The cell-shaded graphics add a nice touch to the game but also look silly at some points. Eric Bana from the movie lends his voice to the game because, well, it's a paycheck. His acting is average at best here, not that he has a lot to work with. The story and script is essentially one excuse to have a boss fight after another. You fight all manner of comic book villains, some of whom, like Half-Life and Flux, do not resemble their comic counterparts in the least. You don't know where they come from or why they're after the Hulk; you only get to figure out their predictable combat pattern in order to best them.

Luckily, this game is rather old by now and can thus be acquired very cheaply. If you have to pay more than ten dollars for it, don't bother. It's not worth your time or money. If you really want to see a game where you get to smash things like the Hulk, with a compelling story and good graphics to boot, pick up Hulk: Ultimate Destruction instead. That game puts this cheap attempt to cash in on the movie franchise to shame.

Alright now its been a while since I played something I enjoyed as much as this. Im not into PC games and all I can actually play is the Age Of Empires/Mythology series. Anyway, this game tops all my expectations. Its never been so much fun to blow up everything around you. Its amazing the amount of actual detail that has gone into making this game a visual blast. Its really fun at any time. I'm 20 and I seldom get time off my college life to play PC games but this one is just one of the best gifts I bought myself lately. I recommend it to anyone who likes KILL EM ALL freak game play.

Notice the helicopters and the detailed maps next time your playing. For those of you confused I suggest you download a demo of the game. Cheers and good Luck!
