Critic Reviews

75 Nintendo Power
The game is not very ambitious, but what it does, it does well. [Aug 2008, p.88]
70 GameSpot
The small-screen version of The Incredible Hulk won't make you feel like the world's angriest superhero, but clever level design and tight controls make this the best Hulk game this year.
70 Cheat Code Central
When it comes to the brute mashing of many things, The Incredible Hulk proves to be a great source for stress relief. As a movie-based game, it suffers from an unclear storyline that requires you to have seen the film to get the whole picture - perhaps this is intentional.
60 GameZone
Fun and frustrating while it lasts.
60 Pocket Gamer UK
The Incredible Hulk isn't actually a bad game, but it's a shame that, despite shaking them up a little, it's not quite good enough to HULK SMASH! our preconceptions.
52 IGN
The Incredible Hulk feels like it was just phoned in.
50 Gamer's Hell
While the simple action may be entertaining for the younger folk, the lack of varied gameplay keeps it from being a worthwhile purchase.
40 Games Radar
The game’s levels lack any sort of checkpoint system, an annoying little flaw that becomes a real hassle as later levels take a massive difficulty spike and Hulk smash! becomes Hulk awkwardly dodge walls of randomly fired bullets and missiles.
