With the recent slew of comic based films hitting theaters, video games based on the films are along for the ride as well. Most of these games hardly live up tp their licenses, but The Hulk almost succeeds where others have failed. Long time fans of the comic series will appreciate the game's storyline, which manages to tie the events in the upcoming Hulk film with events from the comic, and features appearances from Hulk regulars Betty Ross and The Leader. Where The Hulk shines is where most other games get repetitive: you basically run around from the beginning of the level to the end of the level smashing and bashing anything and everything you can. It sounds boring, but believe me, it is pretty fun getting to smash down walls, throw around enemies, and generally wreak as much havok as humanly possible. The basis of The Hulk is as simple as that, but where the game begins to sag are during the segments where you play as The Hulk's human alter ego Bruce Banner in a few stealth like missions that don't seem as well put together as the sequences where you play as The Hulk. Also, the level designs get very repititious after a while, and while some may wow at first glance, they can quickly become quite bland. The graphics are very well done, combining cell-shading designs and 3-D environments to give the game a gritty, comic book feel to it. The sound is substandard and your basic action game fare, but the presence of The Hulk film star Eric Bana providing his voice is a very welcome addition. Despite it's flaws, The Hulk is one of the best licensed (comic or film) games to come along this year, and next to all the other hyped licensed games (Blade 2, Reign of Fire, X2: Wolverine's Revenge, and oh yes, Enter the Matrix), The Hulk clearly outshines them all.

When I first rented this game, I thought it was going to be just another one of those games you pick up at the store and play. Not THE HULK. This game makes you feel like you're The Hulk himself. Amazing graphics and the levels are so full of non-stop action, you can't let go of that controller. I reccommend you go out and either rent or buy this game because The Hulk is a great game.

WHILE I LOVED THE MOVIE , THE GAME IS ALSO AS GOOD AS THE MOVIE.IF NOT BETTER..I HAD HEARD MIXED REVIEWS ON THE GAME , BUT DECIDED TO GIVE IT A SHOT.AFTER ONLY A FEW LEVELS , I WAS TOTALLY IMMERSED IN THE SHEER FUN OF SMASHING THRU WALLS ,AND WRECKING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT ! BUT BEATING UP THE BAD GUYS WAS FUN , PLUS YOU HAD THREE TYPES OF BRUTAL BEATDOWNS YOU COULD DISH OUT WITH ONE BUTTON. THAT IS AFTER YOU GRABBED THE BASTARDS BY THEIR NECKS FIRST ! SOME OF THE BOSSES ARE TOUGH TO BEAT, BUT YOU CAN BEAT THEM IN ANY ROUTINE SORT OF WAY.. TRY A PATTERNED PLAN OF ATTACK THOUGH .DON'T GO IN BLINDLY ARMS FLAILING ABOUT , THINKING YOU GOT IT ALL COVERED ..NAILING THEM FROM THE AIR IS GREAT, BUT IT IS ALSO COOL TO GET IN THERE AND SMASH EM UP ! AND YOU CAN'T ALWAYS RELY ON GRABBING THEM , CAUSE THEY MAY COUNTER AND YOU'LL GET A REAL BEATDOWN..THE HARDEST PESTS ARE THE SOLDIERS WHO NAIL YOU WITH GAMMA GUNFIRE, WHICH TAKES A LOTTA LIFE FROM YOU.NAIL THEM FROM THE AIR , BY POUNDING THEM WITH A FIST PUNCH, OR USE A SONIC HAND CLAP AND FINISH THEM OFF..ALL IN ALL IT WAS LOADS OF FUN!I PLAYED IT TWICE AND NOW GOING BACK IN FOR NUMBER 3..SO GET A COOL SUPERHERO GAME !AND GET '' BATMAN VENGEANCE '' TOO !!FOR HOURS OF FUN. IT WON'T DISSAPOINT YOU LIKE THE ''SPIDERMAN '' THE MOVIE GAME ...

I rented the hulk with my game pass from blockbuster because I heard it was grest but I ended up returning it within 2 hours to rent a new game but by the fourth level I got bored of it. The levels with Bruce Banner take no skill and are boring. The levels when you are the hulk are fun in the beginning of the game but all you do is beat people up which gets old fast because he has no special moves. Easy and medium are way to easy and hard is imposible. Do not waste money on this game even to rent it, just borrow it from a friend.

This game was pretty good. It doesn't really seem to follow the storyline of the movie, but it is a decent game. What makes this game a little more exciting then just running around as the Hulk is that you also play as Bruce Banner in certain levels, which requires stealth. The fights are pretty nice, because instead of just fighting General Ryker's soldiers and guards all the time, in certain levels they challenge you with the Leader's mutant army, or some robots. Most of the sorroundings are completely interactive, such as in one level you can smash the wall to break off some pipes that you can use as weapons. The fact that you can use the enviorment as your weapons is great, and you can pull of certain combos as well. The boss battles are pretty fun, and in fights against characters like Madman, Flux and Ravage you can pull of special grapple moves. The game is ultimately fun and is a great improvement over Wolverine's Revenge.

The Hulk is a fun game that you can just turn mind off while playing. The Hulk takes place after the Movie and is about Bruce Banner trying to stop the team of Half Life, Madman, Ravage, Flux, and the Leader. They have created a device called the Gamma orb which absorbs the hulks powers and can transfer it to another being. As the hulk you must smash and destroy everything in your path.

There is one thing that hurts the game though. THat flaw is the damn stealth levels. There are five of these (not including one that is part of a boss fight. With each of these levels you must avoid the guards as Banner and they always make some excuse (He was sedatd so he can't turn into the hulk, the Teleporter has yet to rearange his DNA) so you must control banner who hits like a sissy and has incredible annoying puzzles to solve (match the figures with the ones above). Also his voice is incredibly annoying and monotonous.

However outside of the stealth levels the hulk is a blast where you basically can beat the tar out of everything in your path. It's a fun game, I just wished they left out the stealth levels.

When I first got the Hulk I wasn't expecting much. Boy was I wrong! It is incredibly satisfying to play as the Hulk and just go rampaging all over the place beating up badguys like there was no tomorrow. You can really get a feel for the anger inside the Hulk when playing this game because when he gets mad, you get mad and take it out on whatever is thrown your way. The separate Banner missions are a nice change of pace that keep things fun and keep the game from getting too repetitive. There is really not much to complain about here except that I really wish that the game was longer. It isn't that big of a problem though since it's really fun to go through the game again and enjoy it all. Definetly get this game because nothing is more fun than smashing through scenery, cars, buildings, and whatever.

I really enjoyed this game. The CGI scenes were you turn into the Hulk were awesome in a cool cartoony way. The level desighn was really cool. I liked how you could smash through enemies like they were nothing. The villians in this game are really cool too. I didn't like the movie that much but this game makes up for it. It really is a good game. I had some fun with the "stealth" part of the game and the Puzzle were really simple even a 1st grader can figure it out.

The visuals on this for the Ps2 were pretty good. I liked the effects for everything. Good Visuals.

The sound is well...sound..I can't go into that one since it was just average...

The controls are easy to get use to *NOTE* This review is ment for the Ps2 version Since it's the one I played it on.

The games lengh is what kills it. The game can be beatin in less then 3 hours. The game was fun for awhile but playing it for the second time gets really boring. I was a bit dissapointed it ended so quickly.

The Puzzles are simple, the graphics are pretty good, nice controls, average sound a pretty short lengh makes me give this game a

3.1 out of 5..

I honestly wanted to like this game but It was the lengh man! A bit short...MORE THEN A BIT SHORT Acctually!

But this is one of the better Comic book based-movie-based game to come out in awhile. Better then that crap CatWoman but if there is a comic book game you should wait for it's the Punisher. From my opinion that will probably be a really great Comic book game. It looks very promising.

Yeah...so if you are a big Hulk Fan then you'll really enjoy this game but beware! Very short game!..

I liked this game knowing that it is a direct sequal to the movie. I thought it was pretty good and the cinematics were awesome!

The stealth missions were laughably easy. But the graphics were great.

The parts were you turn into the hulk are great......
Rend this game for fun but dont buy it. Its really short.
I hope the PUNISHER game will be good.

This game could have bin better. But they ruined by making this game so fast and making it just in time so they can have it in stores by the time the movie is out. Oh well lets hope 2 will be good.

this game is the best game ever its very fun and cool and it gives you the super powers like the hulk and i love the grafic
its a very cool game and i recommend to by it
