Froma blind mans perspective, the PC version of The Incredible Hulk is amirror image of its Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 counterparts. You controlthe giant green monster in a free-roaming, fully destructible versionof New York City. The repetitive missions and devil-may-care structuremake the transition intact, letting you wreak havoc on the streets ifyou feel like shirking your duty to save the city. Though the coremechanics are identical, what little fun that could be had by mindlesslyterrorizing the people of New York has been lost in translation. Therudimentary graphics and mostly empty streets eradicate even the simplejoys of causing massive chaos. By emulating the PlayStation 2 and Wiiversions instead of the far superior Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, TheIncredible Hulk on the PC loses what little charm there was inmercilessly destroying a city. This abject mess should be avoided byeven the most diehard comic-book fans.
The story shows Hulks evolution from local monster who everyone wants out of their preciouscity to the lesser-of-two-evils abnormality who saves New York from an even greater threat. Half of the cutscenes are told through staticscreens featuring just a tape recorder and Edward Nortons tired voice,whereas the other half are poorly rendered cinematics that show barely recognizable versions of the stars from the movie. Its hard to getimmersed in this tale of alienation and redemption when the actors sound so disinterested in the proceedings.
The visuals in Hulk are absolutely atrocious. The comically archaic draw-in and pop-up from theother versions are even more pronounced here, hindering not only your visibility but your fun as well. Though textures are more detailed thanin the lower resolution Wii version, the same abhorrent fog is ever-present. When you climb a building and look at the city beneath you, there is nothing but a thick wall of gray engulfing everything.Its often impossible to judge how far you must jump to land on the next building because you cant see it, which saps the fun of boundingaround the city. When youre walking at ground level, people and cars will pop into view right in front of you and mysteriously disappear whenthey leave your sight. There is also a lot of clipping going on. You can toss cars straight through buildings, and youll see Hulks arm go clean through the backside of enemies, causing no damage. At othertimes, youll reach out to grab an object that lies in front of you and it will vanish right before your eyes.
The thriving city that made the other versions fun in short bursts seem to have been overrun bya life-ending plague here. Streets are often completely empty. Where an abundance of cars and people once fled in terror, there are now only afew people and the occasional car lining the streets. The idea of rampaging around a virtual New York City is enticing, but when the population seems to have disappeared, it loses some of its appeal. Itsboring destroying a city if no one even cares.
At the very least,The Incredible Hulk controls competently. Jumping around the city and smashing objects is fairly simple to pull off, though its far easier to crush your foes with a game controller than the keyboard and mousecombo. Its satisfying throwing your weight around and bullying the general population, but things get a little tricky when you want to target specific opponents. You can lock on to enemies with the push of abutton, but it takes a second to register and has a tendency to slip off when you start moving around.
