You're Hulk, the big green mean machine.
  So with the movie coming out in just a couple of days, they finally did something that no video game based off a movie has done in a while, they released it early! And while the first few reviews on the movie are saying two thumbs way up, I would have to say the game is honestly following suit and is probably the coolest hulk game to date. While sticking to the Ultimate Destruction type game play, with a few new tweaks, and a GTA/Spider-Man free roaming style to kill the repetitiveness of the Destruction, then this is only the best hulk game today, but possibly one of the coolest movie games to date as well.

 
The game feels a lot like ultimate destruction in the sense that you can destroy the army, throw down on hordes of

Ironclad makes his move.

soldiers and super jump your way across levels, as well as climb buildings, throw vehicles, and of course make the ever famous boxing gloves made out of a car. However that is where the similarities stop, the graphics are good million times better, where when looking at hulk you feel like you’re almost watching the movie already. The levels are also incredibly different in the

Ya asked for it Abomination.

sense that its much more like GTA or Spider-Man where you get to go play in New York City for as long as you want, then you go to your different mission points to start your actual story line. Of course while Spider-Man did a pretty good job of capturing New York, no game has truly done it like Hulk, where you can go to major points of interest like Time Square, or the Metropolitan Museum of Art of course after site seeing go ahead

What about me?I'm Red Hulk and I'm included on the party game too.

and destroy this major point of interest then see what sweet prize awaits in its foundations. While that is pretty cool it makes it even better that two points of interest are of course the Daily Bugle, and Stark Tower.


Of course no game can completely avoid the feeling of repetitiveness and at times you will get a little bored of taking down the army over and over, however

All because you got a good score does'nt mean that you should wreck a building.

the unlockables also keep you intrigued and wanting to play and experiment more, where you can unlock new powers, as well as a force of new characters like Iron Man in hulk buster armor, Grey Hulk, Classic Hulk, Smart Hulk, and even Abomination. Of course if you own a 360, then you also get the privilege of unlocking the coolest hulk yet, Red Hulk. So with this game on shelves now, make sure to pick it up and get yourself excited for the movie.

Crave Rating: 8/10 Very Good.
