The Incredible Hulk(ps2)

Oh man this game is pretty tight. If I had the extra cash I would definately buy it asap. Sadly I never got to play Ultimate Destruction so I couldnt say which is better or even compare them. When I finally wanted to rent it the disc was horrably scratched =(. The User Interface is utter crap, the jumping mechanics are kind of messed up, rage powers are unnecessarily difficult to activate, but man oh man I am digging the gameplay. It is free roam. Really lame weak randomy enemy fights happen which is disappointing BUT you can also get into the fight with the military and those are way more fun and they dont stop coming! And best of all when you are ready to disengage from the carnage all you have to do is go for a subway ride. That right there is like perfect balance. In Ultimate Spiderman when you go balistic with Venom there isnt really a way to disengage....maybe there was, i forget. They were smart and ripped off the checkpoint races from spiderman too. There are other minigames to like trashing buildings or certain vehichles. After I brought up Ultimate Spiderman I almost instantly had a sad thought. I dont think you can make the Hulk roar in this game like you could Venom in US. That really makes me sad. He never does it after wiping out buildings or killing people either.. Hmmm i will have to look into that. As you might expect the graphics arent as nice as they could be since its just a downgrade for the ps2 but whoop t do. The audio tracks also blow. You know those games where they have seperate audio tracks and then just overlay them into the game and you can barely hear them, and the freaking subtext just whizzes by. But its nice because it puts you into the Hulk frame of mind, goto objective and crush/kill and maim stuff!!! hehehe. The variety of moves you have is decent. One thing I like about the combat mechanics is that you can charge up an attack at any time even during combo's. Marvel tends to be a sissy touchy feely Corporation with its material. The game could have really benefitted from some blood and guts. I love grabbing people and then doing a normal charged up punch, you would think you would rip the person's upper torso off or something. Or when you smash people into the ground it would just leave a blood splat. bahaha It would be cool if you could leave blood splats on the sides of buildings to. But nooooo. Blood and guts is ''wrong''. Marvel only believes in xena/hercules violence where you never see blood and guts even though people are swinging swords and weapons around.Another slight issue I have is that if you are swinging a giant pole of some sort and there is like a wave of stuff in front of you then you only hit the thing in front, I think it would have been alot more satisfying if the pole would ''pass through'' stuff and kill everything in its radius. But holy crap I can barely stop playing this game lol. I even want to waste time and get gold medals on the races and I hated those in spiderman games as spiderman or Venom!.The Incredible Hulk(ps2)
Oh man! This game is only 30$ Damn Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2!!!!!!!!!!The Incredible Hulk(ps2)
I haven't played that one but based on your description of it, it does sound fun. It's too bad that you never played Ultimate Destruction. You should really get that game at all costs, it's just a blast to play. Please get that game.
Well its buggy. I just had my first game freeze. I wasnt because of graphics because I wasnt doing any fighting or destruction. It happened during one of those random enemy battles. They cause and alert to pop up. It popped up while I was in the middle of a jump.
Well it has not locked up me again, so whatever. Sometimes when your moving the camera it gets glitchy. A bunch of games I have played do the same thing. As you move the camera like half the screen moves and the other half doesnt for a split second. It happened in Iron Man.

This game has another cool feature. The game takes place in New York and there are subway entrances all over the place. Its cool because all you do is walk up to one and hit a button and then you can warp to other places in the city. Another cool thing about it is that you can only warp to subway entrance you FIND. They are not marked(until you find them). Its really cool. And as much fun as it is to smash your way through the city on your way to the next mission I find that subways ROCK because your clear across town instantly.

Besides ditching the army with subway rides I also found out its a great way to save your game if your hunting down ''Hidden Packages''. You just go for a ride and then it autosaves afterwards. Although the dumb game has autosave it doesnt bother to use it for finding secret packages, so I lost a couple of thing when the game froze.
yeah im planning to get this game coz there aint nothing much to buy now unless i have a ps3 then i will grab mgs4
Is this the new Incredible Hulk game for the PS2? Are there any reviews yet (PS2 specific ones). I also reccomend checking out The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. It was an excellent game.
Man I hope the ps3/360 versions arent as glitchy as this. I think its the audio tracks that are messing with the game.

Today after I had got into alot of fights and stuff or did some missions the game started making my controller vibrate when nothing was going on, atleast nothing i could see. It would randomly vibrate and for a really long period of time but a save%26quit fixed that. Just now I finished a mission and it locked up again, before it got to save. Thats the only good thing atleast if your doing any type of mission it autosaves afterwards so you never lose much progress unless you were out hunting down secret packages.

I found out that if you unlock a secret character they are like costumes and you can change into that character and play as them. I only have one unlocked though so I dont know if any of the others have different attacks. I highly doubt it.

I have an untested theory about the subways. If you open your map the city is divided into area's. I am thinking there is one subway station for each area and one only.

Hunting down secret packages is pretty fun. tip #1 is to stand on rooftops and look around, there is fog but secret packages stand out from the fog at extreme distances. tip #2 is to listen! Packages gives off a hum. The closer you are the louder it gets. Turn the music off/down though so you dont mistake the music for a package. There is like 200 packages and I have only found half or a little less than half. You tend to hang out in certain parts of town, or atleast I do.

Ok break time is over, back to the game, I dare it to lock up on me again!!! It wouldnt like me when im angry lol.
Man my favorite thing to do in Spiderman/Hulk is to chuck bad guys off roofs in new york city!!!
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!! Gamespot is giving this game a 5.5 on next gen consoles. BAHAHAHA. That is so stupid and out of touch with reality. They gave Spidey Ultimate a 7. This game has some problems but it has CRAPLOADS of replay value over ANY of the spiderman games. Not only that but they have destructable buildings, a teleport system, awesome random battle mechanics. Whatever flaws it has are easily dwarfed by the cool things they did with thisgame. I mean for god's sake you can stick a bus into the side of a building!!!! I am floored.
