LOS ANGELES (September 12, 2005) - Based on The Incredible Hulk character franchise from Marvel Enterprises, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction allows players to jump anywhere, climb anything and smash everything -- even destroy entire buildings -- as the Hulk, the strongest Super Hero there is! Players possess the unique Hulk-powered ability to "weaponize" items from almost anything from the environment, such as ripping a car in half to use as steel fists or smashing a bus into a giant shield. Throughout the game, 150 chargeable Hulk moves and combos can be unlocked to battle a variety of huge enemies, including his long-time nemesis the Abomination, in epic boss fights. Gamers also experience deep and varied game elements as they explore over 30 story missions and 40 side challenges in fully interactive and destructible environments.
