The Incredible Hulk

The Skinny: Another day, another crappy-ass superhero movie tie-in game. (Also see: Sega's terrible Iron Man.) Step into the ill-fitting pants of everyone's favorite totally CG character. Five words: Bring back Lou Frigging Ferrigno.

The Good: There's a lot to keep you/Hulk busy on the disc. Unfortunately, that's exactly the problem. All these fetch quest/go there, do that/protect this building missions leave us feeling like a glorified assistant rather than a rip-ass mutant superhero.

The Bad: The game makes less sense than a Bazooka Joe comic. As our grandma used to say, "Tacking on a poorly compressed bit of footage from the film at the end and playing phoned-in voice-overs by bored actors does not a quality movie tie-in make." Grandma, you were so wise. Now burn in hell, you old bag.

Cheapskate Alert: Rather than spending $60 on a lame Hulk game, spend $7 (at least that's what it was going for on Half.com at press time) on a copy of the only really good Hulk game: the last-gen The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Buy, Rent, or Disembowel?Rent for the easy Achievement Points, whores. Otherwise, Hulk-smash this one.
