Hulk

"The Hulk makes others green with envy"

Hulk the game follows the events of the movie bearing the same name and represents its Marvel heritage beautifully! And while the Hulk will make some games green with envy there are some disappointing factors that will turn the player green with disgust.

Camera Angle 4/10- The worst feature in this game was the camera angles. I can't begin to describe how many times I tried to get the fixed camera to move just a little so I could see what was going on around me a little better. This camera angle often hid troops with missile launchers and the only time you would know where they were is from the trail of the fired missile and the explosion which knocked the Hulk back way too far. There were many times I would hear the scream of a missile firing and to avoid being hit I would start to jump around and run in circle until I found out which direction it was fired from.

Game play 8/10- Despite the ''UnIncredible'' camera angles this game won't last an experienced player over six hours. The upside is that there are three difficulty levels and many survival challenges. One of the most addictive is the Hulk Smash challenge. So even after the story mode is all but memorized there will always be the fun of the extras. The last thing this game offers is a slew of un lockable cheats which are code entered and mix up the game a little.

Sound 9/10- I really didn't pay too much attention to the music in this game because the sound of everything being destroyed around you drowns out everything else out. But even so that is one of the better aspects of this game. Destroying a gas tanker and watch and listening to it explode is great!

Story 10/10- If the movie's plot line is as good as the games then it is going to be one superb movie! The game has you chasing after The Leader to stop him from unleashing his destructive plans on the world. Many other comic book villains appear like Flux, and MadMan.

Graphics 10/10- This is the best feature this game has to offer. The cinema cut scenes are top quality and the in play graphics are smooth and polished. And even though it is cell shaded it maintains that comic book look that most fans will appreciate.

Overall 7/10- While this game is great the horrible camera takes away from the rating and may even inspire some players to shy away from this one. If you are a Hulk fan or just enjoy destroying everything in a level and then throwing it a someone then you will love this game. I would tell people to buy this one but if you are the cautious type then rent first.
