"Spiderman 2 on Steroids"

The Incredible hulk: Ultimate Destruction has perhaps marked its place in gaming history as one of THE BEST Superhero game of all time. This game not only captures the Hulk's looks, but also his pure brute strength. The Free-Roaming environment is perfect for the Hulk as you can destroy almost anything, except for buildings there are only several buildings to destroy but aside from that feel free to destroy. The Hulk has many moves which are nothing short of incredible. You will find yourself spearing robots, grabbing onto planes and kicking them into other planes, tossing tanks, and even ripping cars in half and turning them into gloves, keep in mind those are just SOME of his moves. This is a MUST BUY for ANY HULK FANATIC.

Graphics: [7/10]
The graphics in this game are far from excellent, but keep in mind you get to destroy nearly everything that stands in your path. The explosions could use some work, but nonetheless it is still great, the cut scenes are well polished and the Hulk model looks well done.

Sound: [9/10]
The sounds are near excellent in this game whether your running, ripping cars or just destroying whatever you see the sound is spot on. Voice-Acting is also very well-done. Hulk Roars, Devil Hulk just sounds plain evil, Cows screaming"MOOOO!", humans scream "ooo god, o god," and Joe Fixit [you will unlock him through comics] even has his own set of cheesy yet funny lines.

Playability: [9/10]
This is where the game truly shines the controls are perfect and this is one very intuitive game, you can pull of special moves and many combos without having to press so many buttons, anyone can just jump in and play this game.There are tons of moves you can pull off elbow drops, head butts, ground slams, and shock wave smash just to name a few. This game has a several sport-inspired moves, punt kick, club swings, and perhaps one of the most brilliant ideas ever is the shield grind you can smash big vehicles and turn them into a skateboard, the only real problem in this area is you won't really need ALL these moves during the story missions, but during the free-roam you will have a lot of fun pulling these moves.

Note: you have to buy and unlock moves

Entertainment [10/10]: If you are a Hulk Fan this is no doubt A MUST BUY!!! If you are a Casual fan or just someone looking for a good game to play this is definitely worth your attention and this is AT LEAST worth a rental. There is enough challenges to keep you busy for a while. Finding Comics is equally as great as there are tons of unlock-ables in this game and cheats just to enhance the experience. Destroying stuff has never been this much fun and the title says it all ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION.

Replay Value: [9/10]
