A fun game for smashing and burning time.

The Hulk has been treated quite well lately.
The new movie was surprisingly good, and almost perfectly followed the story of this game, with Blonsky, the Abomination, and several other aspects, and it's easy to see why.
The game focuses mainly on destruction, weren't it already being obvious FROM THE FREAKING TITLE! But yes, most of the game is spent destroye=ing all in your path, tied toghether with a fairly good plot. Sure some aspects are hard to follow, like the hole hulk-mind-fixer thingy. But in general, it strings the events down nicely.
The gameplay has a nice variety, but you'll notice several problems early on.
For starters, the upgrade system isn't really good. Most moves you'll buy will never be used because the button combonations are attrocious. One move has you pressing both the X and B buttons. Go and pick up an Xbox controller, and just look at how challenging that is. And you'll never remember all the combonations if you tried. The only time you'll use these attacks is when Your button mashing and you suddenly do it out of nowhere, and sadly, you'll never be able to duplicate it.
The graphics are okay for Xbox, but sometimes they feel out dated, even by Xbox standards.
The missions gradually progress in difficulty by throwing in more enemies and robots. But sometimes you'll die because there's just too many enemies to worry about. Like you'll get air-juggled by rockets from missle launchers that fire simultaeniously, and thereforre not giving you time to recover.
In short, the Hulk: Ultimate destruction does have alot to offer, but I reccomend just screwing around rather than playing the story, you'll have much more fun that way.
