"It's GTA meets Spiderman 2 meets Worms 4!", 17 Sep 2005
That is the review line for Hulk 2(What I call it).After the absymal 'Hulk' Ultimate combines the GTA free-roaming ability with Spider-Man 2 Acrobatics with Worms 4 explosions.And it works incredibly well.As far as I am concerned,Hulk lets you leap around as the green one,destroying everything in your path.Can't climb a building? either a.)Run vertically up or b.)Punch holes in it,jump into them and repeat.It also mixes Destroy all Humans! style alerts,with puny humans ranking all the way to tank/helicopter/killbot ambushes.It does haves it's flawed times,though,for example,you get surrounded by tanks.You would obviously pummel your way out,but then in comes the missile launching helicopters.You can't find an easy way out,but to risk leaping,becoming vulnerable and string an air combo on a 'copter.And,if you did it well, you can escape and run free.If you didn't,well prepare to die, angry boy.You have to be a Hulk masochist before you can start pummeling all threats.And,like Destroy all Humans!,like GTA,the game constantly balances ease with difficulty.One minute your pounding on bus shelters,next minute your walloped 2000ft high thanks to a killbot with a ripped-out lamppost.They are as annoying as hell because they can do everything Hulk can.Except one. The Critical Atomic Slam is,by far,the single best manouvere in the game.Charge up and you are rewarded by the entire level pulping up.Tanks flip,KillBots malfunction and explode whilst humans get a taste of their own medicene by being completely taken from the screen.Weak ones evaporate,strong ones fly into buildings and virtually everything crumbles around you as Hulk stands proud(before another freakin' tank sends him into orbit.)

Smashing!, 16 Sep 2005
I'll keep this mainly short and to the point: This game is absolutely awesome! Without doubt, the best Hulk game ever made! If you ever wanted to be the Incredible Hulk this is the game for you! You can do everything you would expect to do as the Hulk in this game and then some! As I already said: Absolutely awesome! Everything about this game rocks: Graphics, Animation, Sounds, Playability, Addictiveness, Everything!! Smash buildings and vehicles! Throw people, vehicles & trees! Get angry and go mental because when you play this game you are "The Incredible Hulk"! Raaargh!

An INCREDIBLY DESTRUCTIVE Experience!, 22 Mar 2006
Since I started this game I've been playing it non-stop, it is fantastic. The sort of game that keeps you hooked and doesn't let go. The upgrades are superb, such as the double dash, sonic clap, etc. As you progress through the game you accumulate tokens to use on purchasing upgrade moves and as well as that there is special unlockable features such as comic covers and artwork.Anyone who has read my review for Spider-man 2 can see my opinion of it and that should show you that this is a much better game than the rushed, cash-in effort of Spiderman 2. The graphics for Ultimate Destruction are alot more polished than with other games, fair enough the characters look terrible in the cutscenes close up, but the game itself plays like a dream and the vast cityscape is far superior to Spiderman 2 and just slightly better than Ultimate Spiderman. I would disagree with comparisons to GTA and say this game is alot more like Destroy All Humans than GTA, so don't buy this looking for a GTA-type game. This game is similar to Mercenaries Playground of Destruction aswell. The size of the cityscape is alot larger than what other reviews say, plus there is the addition of the desert level. I would certainly not say the game is samey as you get to do such varied things at each stage of the game, such as bonus challenge missions (car football, hangliding to a specific spot, jumping from building to building without touching the ground, etc) and using a truck as a disguise for the Hulk (check those green feet sticking out from under the truck - very cool). The bosses are tricky and the game sometimes feels like it's thrown you in at the deep end, but that's part of the thrill. Mercy and The Hulkbuster controlled by General Ross are two of the toughest bosses (I've yet to reach Devil Hulk). The definitive Hulk and Marvel game. Recommended to gamers everywhere. Superb.
