I picked up the latest Hulf game for the XBox last week: Hulk - Ultimate Destruction. I have only a few hours of Hulk play under my belly, but I’m actually liking this one a lot. Most of my time I did spend on the bonus missions and did progress just beyond the first boss into the game. About half of the bonus missions seem to be the usual – get as fast from A to B as possible, but others are a lot of fun … kick a car as quickly as possible into a destination area across town, rescue people from a building (I hate it if I rescue them, then press the wrong button and smash them into the ground instead of laying them down in the target area), or stacking cars on top of a building.

A good thing so far, no messing around with the ‘real Bruce’. You are playing the Hulk, and the surroundings are huge (a city area about the size of Manhattan) with lots of things to smash and kick … I collected lots of points in the bonus missions, and could buy all special moves I wanted. Now it is time to advance the story and see what else is going to happen. From the ‘staging’ area (the church complex) it looks like there is at least one other area which I might discover later in the game …

2 thumbs up from me

An additional notes to the parents: Not a kid-game, no blood, but you can pick up people and smash them to the ground or throw them around. In one  mini-game you have to wack people with a big metal stick while they are falling from a helicopter. Kind of brutal, but my personal best is more then 400 feet
