    Terrible? Do you have a head injury? This game is amazing. The destructability is great, the catharsis devine.

    It is a great game but it is hard.You would not what to make it hard so a player can't play it.It is also funny in some points. It is vary fun right now as is but once you reach part 3 of the game it doesn get any easier.

    Previous Hulk games haven't been quite up-to-par with other superhero franchises, featuring tedious Bruce Banner stealth bits instead of placing the emphasis where it should be: smashing stuff, and having that stuff smash up real good. Fortunately, that isn't a problem with the latest installment. This game is all about creating as much destruction as possible in any way you see Previous Hulk games haven't been quite up-to-par with other superhero franchises, featuring tedious Bruce Banner stealth bits instead of placing the emphasis where it should be: smashing stuff, and having that stuff smash up real good. Fortunately, that isn't a problem with the latest installment. This game is all about creating as much destruction as possible in any way you see fit, be it ripping a car in two to make Hulk-sized novelty Hulk hands, using a truck as a shield, or fashioning a boulder into the world's largest bowling ball. Not only that, but Hulk has a large variety of moves that give the player a lot of options for combat. I can't really comment on the story, since I skipped it. I've never been the biggest fan of the Green Machine's mythos and backstory, so I suppose your mileage might vary. But not that much, thanks to flat-as-cardboard voice acting. All in all, this game really makes you feel like you're in control of a gargantuan green Goliath. The boss fights are especially great: when you go against a giant Hulk-busting robot that levels entire city blocks with each laser sweep, you know you're having fun. Unfortunately, the game drags with the repetitious combination of escort, destroy, and fetch story missions. I can appreciate that Banner wants to return himself to normal, but destroying an entire building just to snatch a CAT scan? That's a little lame. Plus, you'll be right at the end of a mission when a bevy of Hulk-seeking missiles and Hulk-crushing mechs always seem to show up and gun you down. Even poor Greenie can't do much when he's being wailed on from all sides. BOTTOM LINE: Probably the best superhero game of this console generation. Hulk smash!… Expand

    Looks reasonable, but not stunning. My 6 year old played it for 2 days then got bored. there is only so much smahing you can do. needed a little more to make it a must play. something is missing.

    This game was terrible... a brand new copy worked for my xbox and then crashed about 10 minutes into it.... if u have a 1st generation xbox dont buy this because, according to Microsoft about 19% of the original xboxs currently dont work with this game.

    Two words. Hulk Smash!! That's exactly what you do in the best hulk game to ever be released. Being a super hero has never been so.... Destructive!!! Play as any other super hero and I can bet that you wouldn't be able to destroy the city, or the military!

    The story is very short, but when you finish, you'll play it again on hard, and keep all the moves you acquired. The skins are really cool, and the sheer number of cool things you can do is amazing (hammer toss tanks, piledriver mechs, elbow drop off of skyscrapers, throw an airborne helicopter into another helicopter, etc). If only I could destroy all the buildings, rather than just a few.

    Weeehaaa! What a rush just running around smashing stuff. Could not believe how many moves hulk has or how you can start using them all together to take everyone on!

    Ultimate Destruction presents what other superhero games cannot do: making the game fun. UD shows the power and grace of the Hulk and manages to give players a good time. While the narrative all in all isn't great, it's at least fun and gives some insight. What really matters is the gameplay. Combos, supermoves, and unlocking new abilities are the heart of the game.

A problem this game has is the repetition of the missions. Another problem would be on the technical side as things would get too choppy and chaotic late in the game. Overall, this is a superb game by Marvel standards and even manages to be a good game in the industry as a whole.… Expand

    The missions are varied enough to keep you going and take advantage of what makes the game fun; if you like classic beat 'em up games like "Final Fight" or "Streets of Rage 2," then Ultimate Destruction is a game you can't pass up; mindless, destructive fun that has never been done better than this.

    Comic book fans will be enthralled with it, and so will anybody else looking for a cheerfully violent action-adventure. It may not be earth-shatteringly original, but it makes up for this by delivering plenty of earth shattering in other areas.

    Radical Entertainment have produced a game which is every Hulk fan's wet dream and even those with little more than a passing interest in this game will be unable to deny that it is fun to play.
