What really makes this game stand out however is the free spin bonus game. Hit three or more scattered explosion symbols and you move to the bonus round.
Here you are presented with five objects on the ground and five jets in the air View Screenshot. You pick one of the ground objects and one jet and your free spin bonus is awarded. If you don't like the result you can pick again once. In our opinion you are better win more spins vs higher multiplier. The great news is that the highest amount of free spins available is a massive 50 free games and it still gets better. The highest multiplier you can get is 6 times.
This means you can win up to 30, coins in a single free spins. Just when you thought it could not get any better it does! If you hit three or more scatters during your free spins you are awarded the same amount of free spins that you won on the bonus screen. During our testing we hit 50 free spins and then four re-triggers giving us a total of free games plus we had a 3 times multiplier. There's no mouse support and trying to control the Hulk with a keyboard is a waste of time.
But then, it's not as if they needed a quality game to shift copies. The Hulk does a marvelous job capturing this dark hero's destructive essence. Every completely interactive smash-em-up level is packed with cars, pipes, and concrete slabs you can use to carve swaths of carnage through General Ryker's cronies.
And considering the game might've sold well even if punching were the extent of its pissed-off protagonist's talents, being able to toss oil tankers through research center walls is a welcome break. Furthermore, you're rarely forced to fight every lackey who irritates you, and by ignoring them, you'll reach your objectives faster not that some of you won't want to pulverize the saps. Such features aren't exactly awe-inspiring, but they keep the Green Goliath's rampage fast-paced and satisfyingly furious.
Sadly, when the Hulk transforms back into mild-mannered Bruce Banner, the game takes a turn for the insipid. Banner's game of hide-and-seek will bore you. And avoiding detection is a crapshoot--I've been spotted from 20 yards by guards with their backs turned, but strolled right under others' noses. They're so infuriatingly cheap, you'll want to Hulk-smash your controller. Try renting if, unlike me, you can control your temper. Like Bruce Banner and his alter ego, The Hulk is a game with a split personality.
It's a visually cool ride especially when you're destroying stuff with an excellent cinematic feel and decent brawling control. But after the first few bits as the infamous jolly green giant, it's just wave after wave of the same guards, inexplicably large dogs, and not a whole lot of variety.
Like Shawn, I found that you're better off running past the never-ending enemy hordes than gambling your remaining lives by staying to fight. The Banner bits break it up with some light stealth and move the story along, but the package never quite comes together into a cohesive whole.
Give it a rental after you see the flick, but it's a keeper only for serious Hulk-heads. I love all the game's pickups--nothing beats repeatedly whapping away at soldiers with a forklift or taking out gamma dogs by hurling frozen cow carcasses their way.
Plus, everything moves just as it should, thanks to an incredible physics engine. Special moves are quite limited, though, and it's a bit ironic that the break-from-the-norm Bruce Banner stealth missions serve only to drag the action down.
I wouldn't call this Hulk quite incredible, but it is a smashing good time. No longer just a supporting member in the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise, the Hulk gets top billing at the box office and on your consoles this summer. In this game set one year after the film, the Hulk's nemesis, The Leader, plots to destroy Earth by creating an army of gamma-irradiated creatures, forcing the not-so-mild-mannered scientist Bruce Banner to unleash the greener side of his personality.
In some levels, you'll play as the less-confrontational Banner voiced by the film's star, Eric Bana and use stealth to complete the mission at hand. As the Hulk, you'll let loose on hordes of military personnel, destroy buildings like they're made from papier mache, and prove once and for all who's the strongest one there is.
There have been various Hulk games released in the past that have left much to be desired or were just plain horrible. With all the hype surrounding the theatrical release of the Hulk , however, there was at least a shred of hope that this latest Hulk attempt would be able to accurately portray The Hulk as the beast he is. Even though getting all that aggression and power characterized isn't an easy task, this game does manage to grab the essence of The Hulk in a way other games have missed.
I could not for the life of me figure out why hitting the walls replenished your life meter. The levels have various power-ups scattered throughout that will also replenish power but if you are running low, just start bashing the hell out of the wall. One inventive thing about the game is the ability to call on the emergency guardians during fights.
These guardians are the Super Heroes that have kidnapped you and are trying to help you. If things start to get hairy, just call upon your available guardian to come down and perform their special power.
This was definitely the most inventive aspect of the game. I will say The Incredible Hulk is very challenging. There are a number of puzzles that must be solved to reach the next level. The puzzles come in the form of switches, finding hostages, located devastating secret weapons and others.
This has all of the makings of a cool game but it just does not play up to the potential. We all know a great story only goes so far and it is the gameplay that counts. I have one last question. The idea behind The Incredible Hulk is that Dr. Banner is a normal guy and the Hulk only comes out when he gets mad. Why is there never any mention of his normal human self in the game?
I think it would have been better if during the normal exploration parts of the game, you play as a normal person and when you are confronted with obstacles or enemies, you have to change to the hulk. This would have added a whole new element to the game and, quite frankly, would have followed the story of the Hulk better. Basically what you have here is a game loosely based on The Incredible Hulk hoping to draw in comic book fans. The Graphics in The Incredible Hulk are average at most times.
The darkness that is present through the game gets a bit old. This could easily have been a bit title wrapped in a bit case. I found a lot of the items blending into the background and difficult to locate.
The Hulk himself looks pretty cool but there is nothing spectacular here. The Incredible Hulk is a fairly ho-hum game that could have been better.
I really wish they would have incorporated human to Hulk morphing because this is really what the Hulk is based on. I think what you will find is this game wears thin fairly quick and unless you are a huge fan of the Hulk, I suggest renting it first to see if this green machine is for you.
For the rest of the world that has no interest in comics but just want a good game, this will probably be a disappointment. Fans of the Marvel Comics superheroes can rejoice - Hulkmania is here!
The rock-solid Genesis game has been translated into one of the best-looking Game Gear games of the summer. Marvel's heroes don't always fully succeed as hand-held games just ask Spidey , but The Hulk rocks. When the Leader constructs a huge fortress, the mean green Hulkin' machine plows into five increasingly tough levels of side-view robot-stomping action. Ahead are confrontations with such Marvel-ous bosses as Rhino and Abomination. Sound challenging? It is, but the Hulkster is well armed.
His arsenal includes three punches, a head butt, a wall-breaking thump, and the ability to throw enemies and objects. Most of these attacks can be launched quickly and easily. The only control problem involves Hulk's jump, which is sometimes inaccurate. Game Gear graphics don't get much better than this. The sprites are big, the colors are bright, the transformation from Dr. Banner to Mr. Hulk is well executed, and the Hulk moves with a savage grace.
His motions as he climbs up and down ladders are particularly impressive. You'll be glad the graphics are strong, because the sounds are weak.
Hulk's hits land with little sonic force. It's a heckuva Hulkuva game. Only the repetitive waves of robots diminish its game play. The imaginative bosses offer good variety, however, and the Hulk's own unique skills should keep you going.
Just remember: He's more than just a pretty face. There's something mighty appealing about a mindless brute who's simply "the strongest there is". Sadly though, this game doesn't have much to do with its Marvel Comics incarnation. Stop me if you've heard this before: He walks from left to right, jumps on platforms, and hits enemies. He picks up gamma capsules to increase power and gain special moves.
And he fights one of the Hulk's main villains - the Rhino, Tyrranus, etc. See the problem? You could put any character in here without changing the formula. Sure, it looks OK, but side-scrolling action games have been done to death, and nothing makes this stand out It's got tiny characters, just a handful of combat moves, and not enough variety among enemies. We've seen it all before - show us something new. Bruce Banner, a famous scientist, has accidentally turned himself into the enormous Incredible Hulk.
Whenever he gets angry or is exposed to Gamma rays, he's trans-formed into an unstoppable green behemoth of destruction. Just like in the comics, the Hulk can pound enemies into the ground. This side-scrolling game has you fighting all the famous super villains, including the Rhino. The Incredible Hulk is an unstoppable force, but will you be able to get through all the levels? Gold brings us this cart with all the action from the comics. This game will really turn you green! Unwittingly turned into the Incredible Hulk, Bruce Banner must face those that want to destroy him.
Pulverize anyone who gets into your lumbering way. Use holds and smashes against the armies of cyborgs who wish you dead. Collect power-ups hidden throughout the many humongous levels, and eventually turn back into your human form. The Incredible Hulk is an action extravaganza. You will face seemingly impossible odds.
The graphics are very good for the Game Gear, and make for a good portable game. If you are a fan of the comics, The Incredible Hulk will be a smash. Literally, It's just like the Genesis version of the game.
The Incredible Hulk is very cool to look at, but the play control needs to be better. You almost get hit by everything the enemies throw at you. Trying to pick up items quickly can get aggravating. The sounds are nice, and the graphics of the Hulk himself look like they're from the comic series. If you are a hard-core gamer, you might like this one but the difficult control will probably give even experienced garners a problem.
What we have here is a game with great graphics, animation and sound plagued by difficult control, plus way too many cheap hits. Since the Hulkster has no defensive moves like blocking, you end up inching your way toward enemies just to hit them.
All the different attacks Hulk can perform on enemies are great. The problem is that they're so hard to execute, you end up getting frustrated in the long run. If you're expecting a game loaded with decent graphics, good sound effects, and some very cool moves from the Hulk, you've come to the right place. But if you are looking for a game with good game play, you might as well move on because this title is definitely lacking in this department.
You get hit so easily during each stage. The enemies shoot almost a steady stream of bullets that you can't avoid. I'm surprised they didn't do more with the Hulk. There seemed to be a lot of moves on later levels, but at first, the game is frustrating and only has a simple punch and throw. The game could use a few more type of enemies and more types of power-ups to interact with.
The Incredible Hulk has a lot of possibilities, but they weren't fully exploited. The graphics were decent but it needs more game play to help out.
In this game battle villains like The Leader, Rhino and Tyranus with the famous Hulk punches, headbutts and stomping attacks. I don't like the average punch-and-move game, but this one looks like it will be a lot more than just that. The Hulk smashes through this side- scroller with more anger than a Republican convention in Berkeley.
Does the Hulk measure up to other super side- scrollers? It seems the Hulkster has rubbed Leader the wrong way. The butt-headed Leader has built a Fortress deep within the Earth and hopes to rule the world.
Like most fanatics, Leader's all brains and no brawn. So the Hulk steps in with his brute strength and singular purpose: Stop Leader.
Leader responds by sending in a lot of Hulk's rivals, including Rhino, Absorbing Man, Tyrannus, and Abomination, who show up as bosses. The Hulk morphs into several variations. At full power he's Hulk-Out, a mighty and destructive force that move's 1 faster, jumps higher, and punches harder than a cruise missile. If his Gamma level dips, you become a slightly weaker Super Hulk.
Dip lower, and you're an average, everyday Hulk. If your Gamma reaches below five percent, you're nebbishy Bruce Banner, as powerful as a sick puppy. Your only weapon is your strength, and with it you can blast through walls, knock out enemies, and trigger switches. As Banner you're armed with a two-shot gun. The Hulk is graphically gorgeoUS.
The sprites are big but riot screen-blasting, and the backgrounds look great. Some levels are repetitive, but what's there is good. The sounds are hip hop, Hulk style. The beat is infectious but not overwhelming, and standard sound effects pepper the game.
The controls are simple: punch and uppercut. Although there are other moves, these two are all you need. Despite some tricky jumping and landing sequences, you can play this game without the manual.
