In my continuing attempt to play through the stack of old games I have collected over the years, I cracked open Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction for the PS2. It follows a similar open world style as the Spider-Man 2 movie game. Where swinging around the city was entertaining, rampaging around town as the Hulk is amazing fun. Sandbox games are only as good as the tools you are given to create chaos and the Hulk has that in spades. The creators captured the essence of the Hulk character perfectly. You are an unstoppable wrecking machine, tearing through tanks and buses, running up the sides of buildings, leaping from rooftop to rooftop, or jumping in the air to toss the truck you picked up at the helicopter that is shooting at you, and in general leaving carnage in your wake. You can also weaponize things in the environment meaning the lamppost you rip up becomes a bat to smack smack the cops down the block with, or you can tear a car in half and turn it into metal gloves to increase the damages your punches make, or tear a missile battery off a tank, put it on your shoulder and then throw rockets at your enemies. The move list is equally as impressive, allowing you to chain things together into some crazy combos. I'm only 10 missions into the story, but there are a bunch of challenge missions to soak up your time too. My favorite so far is the "golf" mission where the Hulk is standing on top of a building holding a pipe as unfortunate soldiers fall out a helicopter above him. You have to time your swing to launch these guys as far into the ocean as possible. These missions are quick bites of fun and help break things up. If you have the chance, there is a lot of fun to be had with the Hulk.
