Hyper or Hyped?

by  cgman,   Jun 19, 2003

Pros:  great smash and bash game, destructable environments

Cons:  uses the "shiny" shader on characters short game, some glitches, no unlockable moves

The Bottom Line:  Pretty good game. It's not necessarily meant for kids, because of the stealth aspect of the game. Recommend it for teens and up. Beware of a short game.

Overall Rating: 3/5 stars
 

Author's Review

If you like to go around smashing, bashing, and throwing people and objects at each other, this is the game for you.

I grew up watching the tv series years ago. But the game isn't like the show at all. It apparently follows the comic book, but I have never followed it very much.

Gripes
Anyhew, I have seen "cel shaded" games becoming more popular recently, but the shader that takes care of the hulk and bruce banner, is more of a "shiny shader." I have to say I am tired of the so called "cel shaded" games. I understand that the developers wanted the comic book feel, but please use an updated shader. We saw this same "shinines" in SSX tricky.

The game was pretty short. They could have added the "love story" to the game and we could have saved the girl, too.

Gameplay
The gameplay was pretty fun. I enjoyed smashing everything is sight. There were plenty of pipes, dumpsters, troops, and cars to throw around and use to your advantage. There are a multitude of moves for the hulk, but there should have been more to unlock and extend the gameplay. As for playing as bruce banner, it is very remeniscent of Metal gear for the NES. I liked that aspect, but Bruce should have been able to find and pick up weapons, too. Overall, I did like the gameplay, but the developers could have added a few more goodies.

Conclusion
Pretty good game, but I feel it has been prematurly released. It's not necessarily meant for kids, because of grasping the stealth aspect of the game. I do recommend it for the teens and up. But beware of a short game.
