WII GAME REVIEW BLOG

You know those games that are so bad you wonder how they ever even made it on to the shelves? Environments that are so ugly, game mechanics that are so broken and controls that are so mind numbingly ill-thought-out that you feel like throwing yourself in front of a train? The Incredible Hulk unfortunately falls in to this category of games.

The textures are diabolical, cars and pedestrians randomly appear out of nowhere such is the poor draw-distance.The representation of New York City is so bad that it really could be any other city world wide. Of the distinguishable landmarks there are supposed to be, the Wii version is missing 15 out of the 50 there are in the game on the other platforms.

Obviously graphics aren’t everything. I’d definitely pick a game that is graphically unimpressive but great to play over a game that stuns the eyes but not the brain. However, The Incredible Hulk is awful on the gameplay front too. Camera angles are infuriatingly hard to manipulate which makes combat very frustrating (although the AI isbad enough for this not to be much of a problem) and the controls are pretty much broken. The story mode is fairly lengthy and will take a while to complete - which isn’t necessarily a good thing.

The Incredible Hulk is a very bad game indeed. Do not buy it - it would serve only to encourage the game developers to create more of this kind of garbage.
