Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

Four years too late I just discovered an incredibly fun game; Hulk Ultimate Destruction! It was on clearance brand new for 6 bucks and I always heard good things so I bought it. It strongly reminds me of my favorite 360 game Crackdown, which is the most sheer fun I've ever had in a video game.

Like in Crackdown, this takes place in a big open city where you have the superhuman ability to scale buildings and leap through the air. It's basically Crackdown minus cars and guns. Actually my one complaint is that the lack of long range weapons can get frustrating; there's not always a convenient car laying around to pick up and throw.

I'm about halfway through the game and the controls are getting easier to handle, and the unlocked moves are nice too of course. Sometimes the missions are really difficult, I just played one where I have to chase, disable, and retrieve a heavily guarded shielded truck as it runs away. Took me about 7 tries to get it!

The boss fights are incredible fun, and I've only halfway through. I hear the later bosses get to be multi-story-tall so I'm looking forward to that.

Oh and for an Original X-Box game that's four years old the graphics are pretty damn good! There's no lag time no matter how many explosions and the city looks great.

The one thing I have the most fun doing is just creating some random havoc until they call in a Hulkbuster team on me then I get to take them out. It's quick and fun, and it gets you points! I also love that doing ANYTHING gets you points to upgrade with. Even if you just run into a tree and knock its leaves off; one point!
 
This is one of the games I kept when I sold my PS2 towards my PS3. I haven't popped it in recently... maybe I should! It was a good time.
 
Yeah this game was awesome. Better than Crackdown IMO since you are more of a force of pure destruction.
 
The best Hulk game ever made, and one of the best superhero games too at that. I can always go back to this one whenever I feel like it and just run around smashing stuff. It never gets old. You seriously feel like you ARE the Hulk when you play this.
 
I played this on my brothers old Gamecube and loved it to death.

I have an Xbox360. I'm not very game savvy, are the old games upwards compatible?
 
I'm actually playing this game on my 360! As I understand it 95% of Orig XBox games work on the 360. Sometimes you may have to download a codec or something, but I'm not on XBox Live or anything. I've played Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Hulk so far only.
 
I don't think I ever played this, but the good reviews in here have prompted me to track a copy down on eBay and put a bid in. If I win the auction, and I like it, thanks for the tip!
 
I actually won Ultimate Destruction in a contest and I loved it, it's easily one of the best super hero games ever made.

For those of you interested in another game of the same style the Ultimate Destruction developer has another open world super hero type game in development called Prototype. It should be out this summer and I really hope it's as good as Hulk.
 
I read an article about that game, it sounded really cool, and the graphics of Manhattan looked amazing. This is the one where there's three different armies fighting in NYC and you're caught in the middle and you can absorb people for their memories and abilities and freescale up buildings, right?

Yep that's the one. I think the trailer on the website is pretty new, it's really looking good.
 
I have it for the original Xbox. Great game, although I absolutely hated some of the missions, specifically the "protect" and "chase" ones. I'm not there to "protect" anything; read the title of the game - Incredible Hulk: Ultimate DESTRUCTION. There should be no "protecting" to be found anywhere in this game!

I also kept accidentally picking up civilians from time to time...and I kept forgetting which one was the "throw" button and the "put them down on the ground and pat their head" button.
 
I loved picking up a lightpole and nailing a hulkbuster to a wall with it. Or sometimes, I'd pick up a girl and go all King Kong with her, climbing up to the top of the highest building. Of course, my version of King Kong ended with the maiden being hurled a mile from the top of said building.
 
So if I charge a pole and shoot it at a mech, he'll get stuck in the wall? I've done this many times but I've never noticed this happening. I agree the protect/chase missions are annoying as hell, and that Hulk should just smash. Actually for the past week I stopped doing missions after one long annoying one and I've just been fighting strike teams over and over again, maxing out my moves. It's fun! And oh man! I unlocked Joe Fixit and this is so much better! Not only does he look cooler but he constantly says hilarious one liners!
 
Has anybody played the Hulk game that came out in conjunction with the latest movie? It came out on xbox 360. I heard it was good, but I am still leery of buying it.
