What Ultimate Destruction absolutely does best is give you a metric ton of ways to completely obliterate anything around you. Clearly, this aggression will not stand, and through the several chapters of story the game presents, Hulk smashes whatever tries to stand in his way.Īnd smash he does.
Enter Blonsky and a cadre of government soldiers, who want nothing more than to wipe out our friend, Big Green. Essentially, Bruce Banner is already the Hulk by the time the game begins, and he and Doc are working on a way to try to cure him. There isn't an awful lot to the plot of the game. Like THQ's recent Punisher game, it focuses more on the comic-book universe, putting together a storyline that brings such familiar characters as Doc Samson and the Abomination (aka Emil Blonsky) into the fold. Ultimate Destruction isn't based on the Ang Lee Hulk film from a couple of years ago. Though the game does have its flaws, the fact that Ultimate Destruction does such a good job of actually making you feel like you are The Hulk makes its issues much more forgivable. Featuring something of an open-ended structure, a bevy of crazy moves and destructible, well, everything, Ultimate Destruction places you in a veritable playground designed just for those who love the Hulk's methodology of destruction over discretion. Thankfully, developer Radical Entertainment saw the problems with the original game and didn't give up, putting together a hugely improved sequel in the form of The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.
While the game was mostly OK, it lacked depth, and it threw together too many hackneyed gameplay mechanics that just weren't conducive to an enjoyable experience playing as everyone's favorite angry, green hero. 2003's game based on The Hulk franchise suffered from a similar issue. Generally, there's a pretty wide gap between film and game quality, even when the game itself isn't directly based on the movie. Just look at Spider-Man, Batman, The Punisher, or the Fantastic Four-er, OK, maybe not the Fantastic Four-and then look at the games that have followed up on the hit movies. The Incredible Hulk: Hulk fans are sure to have a blast smashing their way through every destructible obstacle the game throws at them.įor as much as superhero movies have improved over recent years, the games based on the same intellectual properties haven't exactly kept up.
