Fun game, this was a game I couldn't get far in as a kid due to the puzzle in the first Banner level aand I kinda found it disapointing to play as Banner so soon after how satisfying it felt to play as Hulk. As a result I'd just play that first level over and over again to have fun until I got bored of it, so I still have fond memories of the game.
I like Hulk (2003) the movie, it's not the best and it's got some boring parts but it's definitely a well made movie with a lot of passion put into it...from a filmmaking standpoint, I'd say it's excellent...I suppose Ang Lee isn't famous for nothing...even if I'm not a huge fan, there's a lot of things I like about the movie as it's a good watch once in a long while....
Those feelings extend to the game too, well game is more fun cuz its fun to play as the Hulk lol but Banner segments are pretty alright too...but sadly this game has it's issues with the emulation, as lines longer than 10 seconds cut off (but you really miss nothing as all the story is in the FMVs and those aren't effected) buuut it also turns an autojump off in the second Banner level and...while this can happen on hardware too that fixes itself...here it doesn't sooooo I had to use a Level skip code and watch the level on YouTube...how fun...oh well, I'm not a huge fan of these and it don't seem like the best level ever anyway.
On PC port, this can be fixed by simply setting it to 60FPS tho as with many old PC ports, it can take some tinkering to run.
Game needs a widescreen exe if you wanna make it work that way....aand maybe make sure your drivers are updated cuz I got a friend who had an issue with that lol. PC Gaming Wiki is your friend.
I find it interesting that they put in Banner levels at all, it's a cool way to add variety....and might as well make use of that Eric Bana money, huh? lol
I also really appreciate they bothered to make this a sequel cuz let's face it...there's no way in hell we'd get anything even close to it if it wasn't literally made simultaneously alongside the movie with developers literally on the set.
Much like the movie, I can see a lot of passion went into this game...even if it falls short on some aspects, it's a fun that's worth remembering, as such the Ang Lee Hulk universe, is a flawed yet fun version to come back to every now and then....don't expect that Gamma Kingdom to be followed upon tho lol
I like that most bosses are Hulk-like and I really like Halflife lol, Nosferatu Valve name stealing fuck
FUCK THOSE STUNLOCKING ENEMIES THO god talk about bad design...I guess they put you in the non-existent shoes (or shorts?....ew) of the Hulk all the way, INCLUDING PISSING YOU OFF AT TIMES. Atleast you can easily counter the smurf fuckers with jump punching tho..I also dunno how to feel about the being able to run past everyone design in a Hulk game where you're supposed to beat 'em up...but hey it saves me a lot of headache so...thanks for that lol, I still played legitmately as much as I could tho
I'm glad to finally play this all the way and see what's it about...20 levels tho, this game is pretty short lol
I played this on Dolphin as no way I'm fucking with that PC port now...PCSX2 also seems to have lines cut off but far later? I didn't realize that difference but yeah...I have no clue how does Cxbx or Xemu fare with this game tho...I hope atleast the emulation issues get fixed someday...man....
Oh yeah, challenges are fun, I only cared to try Hulk Smash! but it was fun...I really like the inclusion of Gray Hulk lol, his lines are pretty cool
My first game of the year is a real Hulk-out! lol

but seriously, when you think about it, has there ever in human history been a gayer console than the Nintendo GameCube?

@Spinnerweb what a series of events, truly a fuck...also that Genesis game is like the only Hulk game pre-this to enter my radar lol, I've even seen hacks for it.
GayStation 2 beats it, checkmate m8

@imshitting420 First level was the most satisfying thing ever to me as a kid lol, I was obsessed with the movie for a while even if I found it pretty boring then, so this game and what I could play up to scratched that itch nicely

I also remember the Genesis game, or at least I think it was on the Genesis. It had ladders in it and the Ghosts and Goblins kind of health system where if Hulk got hit once he would turn into a human in his boxer shorts with girly little red hearts on them like the sissy slut he was (I'm not making this up, this is all real) and if he got hit a second time he would expire and go to meet Allah the most gracious and beneficient.
I'm glad you had an okay time with this game, finish it, and relive your childhood memories. Seems okay for a licensed game. Kinda miffed you played the GC version instead of the PS2 one though. It's okay though you're still my friend, I just have my old allegiance to PlayStation despite the brand only going downhill in recent years and the last PlayStation console I bought being the Vita.
