IGN Review of Hulk for XBOX:

http://xbox.ign.com/articles/410/410231p1.html

"Closing Comments:

Despite the fact that Hulk is easily Radical Entertainment's best videogame project ever, and the number-one version of the Jade Giant to ever come to console and PC, I can't help but feel as though it was still held back a bit from what it can truly be. Hurt by the tedious and boring Banner missions and a smacked around by a troubled and immovable camera, Hulk suffers in areas that should have been tightened before release.
Those problems aside, Hulk is still an "incredible" source of enjoyment. Using the proper "destroy everything" approach that a game of this nature needs in conjunction with an easy to learn combo system, the Hulk doesn't steer action fans wrong too often. The real treat, however, is sitting back and waiting for a rumored and possible sequel -- a game that will more than likely fix the nitpicks of this version. All they have to do is drop the Banner segments, tack on 20 more levels, throw in a few new moves, and put us face to face with the Abomination and we could easily find ourselves in beat 'em up heaven. In the meantime, this first rendition of the Hulk is pretty darned satisfying. Definitely worth a try. "

BTW, Per Young's thread:

Hulk deal at Best Buy on 6/1:

Hulk for PS2, Xbox and Gamecube: 49.99 each (free $15 gift card instantly)
Hulk for PC: 29.99 (free $15 gift card instantly)

I've been playing this, and I love it. I'm a fan of the Hulk, and
only buy games about 1 every 2 or 3 months. But I love the
way they did the graphics and this is bunches of fun.

Jason,

Glad to hear your enjoying the game.

The deal at Best Buy is tempting but i think I'll give it a rent first.

As I've metioned in a previous thread, I've got too many unfinished games and the fact that this upcoming week is a big dvd purchase week doesn't help.

... this is tempting. All I have to do is finish Zelda:TWW this weekend and I'll trade it in for that one.

For 19.99 at fry's.. I was sold.

Which version was on sale at Fry's for that price?

PC

Got it last night and love it! Spider-man had to be one of my fav. games and I'm glad to see another Marvel superhero game do well! Now DC needs to get some good games out!

It was the PC version advertised at $29.99 before a $10 "instant gift rebate," which is just a regular instant price reduction. Best Buy will likely sell the PC game to you for $14.99, then add the $15 gift card on to your receipt, making the total come out to about $29.99. You pay less tax this way, but they may not be willing to do pricematch. If they did, they would have to price the game at $4.99 on the receipt, then add the $15 gift card to make it $19.99. Of course, they may be willing to pricematch without giving the gift card, which would really defeat the purpose of pricematching this particular deal. Who knows, I may be wrong. I'm just rambling off a bunch of ideas.


Has anyone in the past done these types of deals at best buy where you get a gift card free or another DVD for free, for example??

Anyone interested in the Hulk game, email me at [email protected]. I work for Vivendi and am able to order a few copies at a discount.

Can anyone who has played the game confirm that Hulk smash?

i almost peed in my pants in this nice, clean, very public netcafe when i read this. you funny, *******.
-di doctor-

Broke down and got this from Best Buy today for $30 (used a $5 coupon and still got the $15 GC which was going to pay for Die Another Day anyway)...

Anyway, I got home and popped it in...

OMG! Its better than I expected. The cel shading is great, the story seems to be pretty cool and the characters look really good.

I'm only two acts into the game (so I did the "dream" and the "sneaky" levels) but now that I'm the Hulk again I can't wait until I get some more free time tonight...

And it may have been my inner-child screaming with glee, but I could have swarn I heard a "Hulk Smash" happen sometime...

it's cool to see some POSITIVE posts around here for a change

I think I'll pick it up.

I'll give it a rental. I had relatively high hopes for this game and it sounds like you guys enjoy it.

Which Best Buy did you go to? I went to the one at the Forums and they were pretty adament about me not being able to use the $5 coupon and getting the $15 GC at the same time.

410 and San Pedro (Northstar location)... the assistant manager just changed the price of the game from $49.99 to $44.99 to compensate. I guess I got them in a good mood.

Just got to He's one mean mamajama... this is getting better all the time (but I have to agree with the static camera, its not that effective).

I for one am very surprised that it is even a playable game let alone a good one.

There was little hype for it. No real preview. I really thought we had a stinker on our hands.

Nice to be proven wrong.

I might pick it up at BBV in a few months.

This game sucks!!!


Who wants to play as banner!?!?!

And...


The Hulk is weak!!!

They should've made the hulk realistic not cell shaded.

The banner mission should've been like splinter cell.

I played it some at E3 and thought it sucked...

I like it the camera does suck badly though and Hulk is in desparate need of a block button those guys with the green "ray guns" are damn near impossible to beat when fighting a group of enemies.

Puny Human! Hulk not weak. kar10 weak. HULK SMASH kar10!!!!

Why can't we say k-v-r-d-a-v-e? What did he do to deserve that?

It involves the mods, their wives, and some STDs. That's all I can say
