The Incredible Hulk, one of Marvel's most powerful Super Heroes, unleashes epic destruction on the big screen this summer in the much awaited release from Marvel Studios. Adding to the excitement, SEGA will be releasing The Incredible Hulk, an intensely realistic third person action videogame. The fury-fuelled game will feature key moments from the film, as well as additional plotlines and characters from The Incredible Hulk universe. Crash through New York City, battle gigantic enemies amidst soaring skyscrapers and leave your mark on the fully destructible environments. With the ability to damage buildings, streets, cars and anything else the Hulk can get his hands on, you have the ability to make New York City your own destructible playground.

 Drab and unimaginative September 18, 2008
Rutwij (UK)
The first thing you notice about this game is dull colours and really awful graphics.
The storyline drags and never really engages the player to the extent that you feel like you really got to forget about food and call in sick and complete that next quest. Far from it, I couldn't wait for quests to end because they were so boring.
The fighting becomes repetitive very quickly and after you've smashed the first building and thrown the first car into an enemy, the rest is all the same.
On the plus side, it's so easy to play, you could sleepwalk through it.
For graphics, I would give this game 1/5. For gameplay 1/5. For storyline 1/5. Ease of play 4/5.
My recommendation: stay away from this game - you aren't missing much.
If you feel like playing it, rent it to help make up your mind before you splash out the cash.
 If you're in a bad mood there's no better game! August 29, 2008

After watching the film and the trailer I had to get this but with it being developed by Sega I thought it would'nt be very good, what with making the awful sonic the hedgehog on PS3. How wrong I was! I never get tired of this!
After the first level you get the ability to explore New York City. There are plenty of levels and secret characters to unlock including abomination, green scar hulk, and even iron man! What's better is that if you are in a bad mood you can play the game smash up new york city and feel better afterwards.(I did)
Sega have had a lot of bad press recently and ok this may not be the best reviewed game the whole world, due to games like metal gear solid 4 GTA4 and call of duty 4, but it's mindless fun even if it is a movie tie-in. After this game and viking battle for asgard I'm willing to give Sega another chance.
 Hulk Smash! June 22, 2008

After seeing the reboot of 'The Hulk', I was impressed, but what's even more surprising, how good this movie tie-in game is.
First thing first, anybody who played 'The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction' would see the similarity between the 2 games e.g. you can free roam around the city (in this game, it's NYC) & destroy anything & everything you want. There are a few tweaking, like 'The Hulk' can't wall run.
To prove how powerful 'The Hulk' is, he can demolish practically anything, famous landmarks isn't safe with this green beast around. As you would've guessed, there's a catch, when you cause too much damage, your threat meter rises (there are 9 lvls of threat) the higher it is, more & more army/soldiers will come after you. What I enjoyed is grabbing a vehicle & lodge it into a building. Obviously, I get gunned down for doing that much damage...
As fun as this sounds destroying things in NYC & beating up innocent pedestrians, when you actually try not to cause any destruction, you tend to, as even walking past a civilian causes havoc as they run away scared causing vehicles to dodge away from them & crash into a building, which eventually crumbles down, thus raising your threat meter. A sure way to get the army off your back is taking the subway. That's right, 'Hulk' taking the subway!
Another annoyance is when you're protecting the city & fighting villains, sometimes you accidently cause damage & the threat meter rises (it's like having a fight in a small pub, try not to damage anything? Yeah, right...) & guess what? When the army arrives, they attack you rather than the villains who are threatening the city! There's no justice!
The city graphics is a mixed good & bad, the good is that it plays out literally like NY (much like 'Spider-Man 3', but with more landmarks like Rockefeller Centre) & the buildings look life like. Also there's a nice touch of birds fluttering away during your presence. The bad is looking from the distance, the buildings look kinda grey, bulky & even foggy. Sometimes, there's absolutely nothing there until you get close enough to the destination.
What I loved about this NYC compared to 'Spider-Man 3' (which I think SM3 has better graphics) is there are links to other 'Marvel' heroes, e.g. 'Stark Tower' ('Iron Man), 'Baxter Building' ('Fantastic 4'), 'Daily Bugle' ('Spider-Man'), 'Nelson & Murdock, Attorneys at Law' ('Daredevil) & 'Sanctum Sanctorum' ('Dr. Strange') which are all present in the game (the buildings, not the heroes).
Much like 'Spider-Man 3', you can choose what mission to undertake (after the 1st 3 missions). Minigames are made available when completing a certain (amount) of missions, things to collect & character (skins) to unlock. It's pretty devious of 'SEGA' that to unlock 'Hulkbuster' skin, you gotta have an 'Iron Man' (movie) VG game save. Other characters you can unlock by achieving certain feats, like destroy certain amount of objects or complete certain challenges.
The button controls isn't too hard to master, there are quite a few combos (compared to 'Spider-Man 3', it hasn't got as many), as there's light attack, heavy attack, grab/throw & jump (whilst in air, you can press attack buttons to do different moves). The more you progress in the game, the more moves (or enhanced) you'll unlock.
All characters are voiced by their movie counterparts.
I played the game for 5-6hrs now, & there seems to be no signs of the game freezing much like (majority) Xbox360 owners suggested. So overall, it's a good game, depends whether you liked the previous 'Hulk' game or not, you should give this VG a shot (at least rent it if you're not sure).

This isnt as bad as alot of people make out,there isnt alot of brain power involved,its all Hulk smash,then Hulk smash something else,the missions in game are alittle easy and i havent failed any yet,the controls are pretty good, and the graphics are ok,the main fun of this game is the freedom to go on your own personal rampage and destroy half the city before you have to run and hide in the subway to get the heat off you.If you enjoyed The Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction,you will enjoy this,if you didnt then you wont.would be a good idea to rent it and see first.
