THE INCREDIBLE HULK (Wii Version)
By: Robert T. TrateReview Date: Thursday, June 26, 2008
The Incredible Hulk for the Wii is an action based, third person smash fest. As the Incredible Hulk you will tear through different levels accomplishing mini missions to acquire more powerful moves and abilities to take down your enemies with anything and everything around you. The destruction is phenomenal. Cars, mail boxes, robots, lamp posts, Hummers, entire buildings, Enclave goons and even street pedestrians are fair game. A choice for the gamer arrives after the first level. The gamer can choose to either be a rampaging Hulk tearing through the city looking for trouble or to take the path of the hero and play out the missions trying to stop all those that are destroying Manhattan. So which will it be; hero or monster?

The graphics for the game itself are good but the renditions of Edward Norton and Tim Roth leave little to be desired. Strangely enough General “Thunderbolt” Ross (voiced by William Hurt) is the only one that bares a striking resemblance to his human counterpart.

There is never a time when you play as Bruce Banner. You will never have to get angry to be the Hulk. The only thing that may make you angry is that this is not a game for Wii. It really doesn’t involve the Wii remotes the way a game like Wii Sport does or even the way Sega’s Iron Man did. If anything it makes the game difficult because you have two different remotes to deal with. After a while, it gets easier but there are only a few moments where waving your remote actually matters. The game should really be played on the PS3 or the Xbox 360.
The missions are great and offer at least one look at a possible deleted scene that was in the trailer of the Incredible Hulk movie but wasn’t in the film. The Incredible Hulk game offers a tour de force of destruction that is intoxicating. You will find yourself destroying Manhattan just to see if you can do it. The missions are fun but this game really comes down to “Hulk Smash”!

One little problem that I noticed, so far, is that you can't see very far. When I climbed up to the tallest building and looked across the city you can only view a couple of blocks. The rest is blocked by some kind fog looking mist like they did for GTA San Andreas. Where I can see the application for it in San Andreas (due to the MASSIVE amount of content) for a PS3 game (on a Blu-Ray format no less) it's kind of shitty. In Spider-Man 3 for the PS2 you can see further. Maybe I'm being to nit-picky or maybe I've been playing to much Assasin's Creed, where you can see for miles over the horizon.
