*/"We expected //The Incredible Hulk to be bad from the offset, not out
of some inherent bias but more to do with a realistic reflection of the
past and the facts of the matter. On this front, //The Incredible Hulk
didn’t disappoint us.
It’s predictable, samey, bland and as by-the-numbers as any game of this
type could be. The developers have got a checklist of all the usual
errors made on movie tie-ins and they’ve zipped down and ticked them all
expertly. As a game it’s more shallow than a Paris Hilton-wannabe and
uglier than the real-deal.
But, at the same time, it is kind of fun to mess around with. And no,
the Paris Hilton jokes stopped last paragraph //thankyouverymuch.
Elements of The Hulk’s character are captured very well and it’s quite
bizarre to see that Sega has done a better job of capturing the wall
climbing experience than Activision did with //Spiderman 3. Also, just
because a game is shallow doesn’t mean that it’s bad – every id Software
game ever proves that, just about. Despite all the chinks in the armour
and the fuzziness on the lens there is still a sense of progression that
makes the game involving to play and aspects of the animation do feel
suitably kinetic and powerful.
In the end, though //Hulk can’t claim to be as good as the majority of
the games out on shelves nowadays, he can certainly wipe the floor with
//Iron Man and the other comic-movie-adaptation-tie-ins at the moment."/
