Review of The Incredible Hulk on Xbox 360 & PS3

Hobgob1in | June 15, 2008 | Reviews | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

Clearly released before it was ready, what could have been a decent Hulk adaptation is flawed and full of glitches. Shallow and unworthy of such a fantastic character, the Incredible Hulk is a lamentable faliure.

Movie licenses are generally flawed, but the adaptation of the Incredible Hulk movie has a whole set of problems that go beyond the typical movie-to-game translation errors. To see a game so humbled by shoddy graphics, programming glitches and weak plot lines isn’t something we expect from modern consoles (well, maybe the plot lines thing) , but it would seem we have a game that was rushed to release simply to meet the film’s release schedule – incomplete and struggling to run.

That Sega, of all companies, would let an obviously incomplete game production go on sale is utterly inexcusable. Didn’t anyone actually test this game before it went to production?

They make it sound worse than the Iron Man game, but I'm sure it can't be that bad. I thought the game looked pretty good for a movie-adaptation, but this review is putting me off from renting it.

I've seen the trailer numerous times and to be honest, it hasn't really impressed me. Sure, the graphics aren't bad but from the looks of the trailer, it looked too "arcady" for my liking.

Edit: Whoops, look like Sega made this game. What was I expecting eh?

I like the idea of being the Hulk and free roam, endless possibilities. But, after reading this, I don't know.

It is indeed "incredible"

It's nice to navigate trough the town...sounds like GTA in that point...but the attacks may get annoying :S

(at least you have a specific goal..right?)

From everything I have heard it was a lot like Ultimate Destruction. Which was pretty much the best Hulk game ever created. But if it is held back by glitches I could see why it would fair poorly. Not really introducing anything revolutionary and releasing a flawed product doesn't go over well.

Can't anyone get the point that Movies converted to Games, just DON'T WORK?! They always turn out terrible.

  What about Spider Man 2? That game was very fun, and I still play it occasionally.
