As some people know, Sega released today a free multiplayer expansion pack for The Incredible Hulk. Originally promised to become available in late-June, this multiplayer expansion pack for The Incredible Hulk adds additional online, two-player missions that will test the speed, strength, and skill of even the biggest Super Hero fan. The missions take place in one of 5 large arenas, each one a dynamic and fully destructible environment packed with non-stop action and ruthless enemies.
Based on both the Marvel Studios feature film being released in theaters on June 13, 2008 and the popular Marvel Comics series created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, The Incredible Hulk is a fast-paced, action-packed video game that enables players to take on the role of one or more of Marvel’s most powerful Super Heroes.
I'm going to expect that the game with multiplayer will be better than most people is unhappy with.
Superheroes are one of those things from the childhood you'll always remember, and I see nothing wrong with adults collecting stuff with their favorites, especially comic books. Comic books rule, but so do computer games, most of the time. Unfortunately, computer games with and about superheroes are not that great, especially because you know what's going to happen, in most cases. Even worse, the release of such games is sometimes rushed by the producer, just to match the launch of the latest movie in the series or so. Anyway, The Incredible Hulk is not a bad game, not at all, and since it got with a free multiplayer patch now, it seems we're talking about more than just "another superhero game," after all... About months after the original release, The Incredible Hulk got a free expansion for it's X-Box 360 version, coming with five arenas for multiplayer combat. Sega's update has no less than 525 MB in size, but since it seems to provide quite a punch, I don't think this is too much. After all, the Dial-Up era is almost gone(if you're still one of those using slow Dial-Up connections, believe me I think of you every day, before saying "Oh, my, these Japs have insane connection speeds!"), and downloading large files is no longer a nightmare.
The story is pretty short - you get five large arenas, so you can face others in minigames of "speed, strength, and skill." Unfortunately, only a few two-player battles are provided by this expansion pack, so no co-op multiplayer. What a pity...huh? Well here's a glimpse of the Multiplayer Trailer.
