The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

The closest game yet to bring the actual feel of being the Hulk to gamers and fans alike. You take control of Marvel's big green smashing machine and have free reign to roam a city as you search for a way to regain your humanity.
The main story of the game involves David Bruce Banner trying to assemble pieces of a machine he hopes will finally put an end to his transformation into the Hulk so he can be normal again. But it's not going to be easy as he's being hunted by the government who consider him a hostile threat and nuisance to public safety.
As the Hulk, you'll have access to all his signature abilities, and then some! He basically charges through the city and can knock almost anything out of his way. He also has the big jumping ability he's known for in the comics and cartoons to get around. And lets not forget his ability to SMASH and destroy things! All greatly represented in this game. You can upgrade Hulk's abilities and learn new moves by earning points from destroying things, and you'll need all the super human abilities available for the missions that lie ahead, as some of them will see you doing battle with HUGE robot bosses!
I think the only department this game falls short in is that Hulk's life meter can get depleted rather easilly. Granted, destroying enemies yield health recharges, but it still doesnt' seem right for Hulk to lose life so easilly in this game.
The only other flaw would be the redundant gameplay. Missions more or less get repeated throughout the game, but they just make it harder than the last time and it does get boring after a while.
Overall, if you liked the Spiderman 2 movie game, this is pretty much the same thing but with the Hulk and a more serious setting. This will easilly appeal to fans of the Hulk and the Marvel Universe as it's the closest you can get actually being the Hulk.
