From cloudeagle: Scattershot stuff:
* People tend to be much more forgiving when you ding their car, or transform it into a jagged, smoldering pile of scrap metal, if you’re 12 feet tall and green.
* With a hefty girder and the proper swing, you can grant a lucky soldier the enduring human dream of unassisted flight for 350 yards or so.
* A really big guy CAN run up the side of a building, but building manager will need the phone number of a trusty construction contractor handy for afterwards.
* Though throwing a boulder at a tank yields good results, throwing a cow at a tank doesn’t really do anything. (Note to self: try throwing the cow at a helicopter. Aim for the blades.)
* You know the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants? Who have heartwarming tales while sharing a pair of pants that makes the wearer’s butt look great no matter their body type? I think the Hulk’s a member of that. Because no matter what he or his alter ego Bruce Banner does — cause a smallish skyscraper to collapse around him, get hit by a rocket, gain 800 pounds in 10 seconds — his pants always look great. I wonder what heartwarming tales the Hulk could share?

PADs become a true blogger! He’s reposting other people’s humor!
Oh, wait, it’s Glenn.

My theory is that Bruce Banner’s uh, manhood, much be extremely small to account for those shorts never bursting. As the Hulk, he’s probably only average sized.
So now the Hulk is going to be charged with murder?
Cause enough force to send someone that far would have to be fatal.
I would even suspect that the soldier could never fly that far because that much force from a girder would probably slice the soldier in half.
It’s astounding how similar these life lessons are to the life lessons I learned while playing Freedom Force. Nothing is so heartwarming as watching the bond grow between the Hulk and Juggernaut as they each see who can throw a car the furthest down the street. Truly a ‘Brokeback Marvel’ moment.
*sigh* I wish upgrading my video card (to run two monitors at the same time) hadn’t stopped me from being able to run the game anymore. I really need a new computer…
dagnabit, I knew that was gonna happen… 🙁
Grand Theft Auto has it’s fair share of life lessons too y’know.
By knifing a whørë, I can get at least 2x what I spent on her for “health services.”
I don’t know about any of you, but I got real bored of this game real quick. All of the initial challenges involve Hulk smashing stuff, which really means mashing a bunch of buttons. Since they seem to have borrowed the Spider-Man 2 environment, they should have tried harder to capture the coolest thing about that game: the web swinging. In other words, Hulk should be able to jump a lot higher and farther. It would be more fun. For me, anyway.
So far i think the best part of the game is the presence of Ron Perlman
“So far i think the best part of the game is the presence of Ron Perlman”
So how far does he fly when you hit him with the girder?
Speaking as someone who worked on the Spider-Man 2 game, I’d say that Hulk: Ultimate Destruction did a great job. They couldn’t do web swinging, of course, but they did very well with what they could do. The charge jumps felt really right to me. You go really fast when you link them together, and jumping from rooftop to rooftop felt great.
There were some things that SM2 did well, and some things that Hulk: Ultimate Destruction did quite well, too. I enjoyed the Hulk game a lot.
I was excited to get this game, played the Hëll out of it when I first got it, but quickly grew disenchanted with it. At first it SEEMED like the best Hulk game, but after fighting off the 345th assault of Giant Mech’s, and fighting a 100 ft. Boss Abomination (WTF was that about?) at the end, I realised yet again that this was a game made by people who just dont “get” The Hulk. Where are the Supervillians? Why cant the Hulk speak? And why does the Joe Fixit Hulk sound like a wrestler doing Bad Stand up, but when he’s the Grey Hulk he cant speak again? And why use the F’ing Devil Hulk? Ugh… I traded this game in back in November because I got bored and kinda felt insulted as a Hulk fan.
Bah, ultimate destruction was the feel good game of the year. the reason joe fixit sounded the way he did was because they got the old voice actor that played joe in the 90’s hulk cartoon. Honestly being able to rampage the city as fixit was probably the best video game experiance i’ve ever had.
I’ve only played a bit of the game, but just from the demo I can tell that it did one thing that a lot of superhero games miss: make the character ‘feel’ super. If you don’t know what I mean, check out ‘Silver Surfer’ for the NES where he can be killed by touching the ground or any building. Another example is the NES version of Superman where Kal El is damaged whenever normal human enemies touch him. The same thing happens to Robocop in his arcade game. This is probably one of the best eras of comic book gaming we’ve seen since Konami, Capcom & Data East were cooking up fun side-scrollers. As the main post up there proves, they’re fun as well as educational!
So now the Hulk is going to be charged with murder?
I take it you haven’t seen the Hulk of the Ultimate Marvel universe? The one who Banner alter-ego has received the death sentence for causing the deaths of 800 people in New York?
The Hulk game was my favorite of the year. I played it a lot at night- it was the perfect vision of what a Hulk game SHOULD be. Paul Jenkins wrote the story, and it was a lot of fun.
I’ve only had the chance to play this game for a couple of hours on a friend’s xbox, but it was easily a very fun game. I also found one of the silliest things in the game, according to my friend. I was playing one of the early stages and found a giant inflatable gorilla on top of a building. After some experimentation, I was able to show my friend, who had gotten far in the game, how to get Hulk to the top of a skyscraper holding the giant gorilla balloon and then charge jump, turning the Hulk-Gorilla combo into one of the funniest looking zepplins to fly over the city ever…
You can be Joe Fixit (albeit written by Jenkins – the dude did try to follow a lot of what PAD established, but his voice for “Joe” – and the interpretation of him as the wiseacre teenager personality – were a little bit off), find cool interactive secrets like balloon-riding, and THROW COWS? (Despite 100 foot Abomb,) I may have to get this game! 🙂
Hi,im also a hulk fan can please help me find my last comic.
