Incredible Hulk

Review by: Chris Petrello

Being an Incredible Hulk fan I naturally wanted to see a game where i culd control the 1000 pund bohemoth...So i went and bought the Game at Electronics Boutique (along with Crimewave, a long story). I Figured (as with crimewave) that the game was published by EIDOS and the made tombraider, so the HULK had to be good, same concept of 3-d, same great control, same complexity of enviroment etc etc.

Was I ever wrong, unlike Tombraider, who's b'grounds were nice and REAL often visible in the distance, the HULK's b'ground is non-existant, until you get right to the edge of the screen, so if you are standing against a wall at the "top" of the screen and you walk "down" the wall disappears into blackness...

The control is ok and the music is good, but this game is basically a scrolling fighter, think maybe...the old x-men for genesis, only you could trun and walk to the foreground...as fro appearances, i guess the hulk looks ok, that is if you can tell the front from the back...

I must sound like such a negative person, but this game is a total waste...not nearly in the same league as TOMBRAIDER, i think EIDOS is sleepin at the wheel lately...

anyway, don't buy this game w/o playing it first, or you're bound to feel like turning green and smashing your saturn . . .
