The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

The Cast:

Good Guys:

• Bruce Banner/The Hulk: You are a genius scientist with anger issues, transforming into a powerful green giant. You are an unstoppable force, controllable by hypnotic suggestion, and a source of immense fun.
• Dr. Leonard Samson: Bruce Banner's only friend. A scientist who created a machine providing hypnotic suggestions to enable Hulk to perform complex missions beyond simple destruction. Voiced by Cam Clarke.

The Bad Guys and Others:

• General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Commander of military forces, including US Army and Air Force, tasked with stopping Hulk's rampages. He controls Branson Military Base and its resources. His motivations include patriotic duty and preventing Bruce Banner from pursuing his daughter. Voiced by Cam Clarke.
• Emil Blonsky/The Abomination: The primary antagonist. A government official leading The Division, dedicated to studying and neutralizing mutant threats. Blonsky becomes the Abomination, a larger and smarter version of the Hulk, as he gains Hulk-like abilities. Your battles with him will be legendary. Voiced by Ron Perlman.
• Mercy: Blonsky's bodyguard and unrequited lover. A Gamma mutant controlled by Division via bionic implants, possessing telekinesis, teleportation, and mind-blasting powers. Voiced by Vanessa Marshall.
• Devil Hulk: A sinister entity within Bruce Banner's mind, compelling Hulk towards greater destruction. The objective for most of the game is to find a way to defeat this entity before Banner loses control permanently. Voiced by Richard Moll. This entity is compared to a Goroistro Demon from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.
• Random Pedestrians: Civilians found in levels, often screaming and running. They are targets for Hulk to pound and grab, creating chaos.
• Ground Vehicles: Include cars, trucks, military trucks, ambulances, and buses. Most can be used as weapons like Steel Fists gloves or Hulk Shields, or as projectiles.
• The Police: Responsible for law and order but outmatched by Hulk. They appear in early levels with pistols that pose no threat.
• Division Soldiers: Basic enemies throughout the game, some armed with machine guns, others with missile launchers. They are not a significant threat; dodge their fire and attack them.
• Tanks: More serious enemies. Includes the fast Bradley with a missile launcher and machine gun, and the slower Abrams with a more powerful cannon and machine gun. Tanks can knock you back with a charge, which is annoying but not damaging.

This section covers various enemy types and provides essential combat tips and item usage for The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Enemy Types:

• Tanks: Heavily armored vehicles requiring charged attacks or thrown objects. Includes the MRLS (Multiple Rocket Launcher System) and the heavily armored Howitzer with a powerful cannon. Tank launchers can be weaponized after the vehicle is destroyed.
• Aircraft: Highly maneuverable and difficult to hit. Types include unarmed Huey transport helicopters, armed Comanche helicopters that attack with missiles and guns, and the acrobatic Falcon Strike Fighter hoverjet.
• Hulkbusters: Giant mechs used by Division Soldiers. Most are armed with machine guns, missiles, and fists, and can charge attacks. Smaller ones can fly. Types include Infantry, Combat Wardens, Capture Wardens (punching-only), Destroyers (larger Infantry), and Titans (boss enemies).

Combat Tips:

• Stay on the move: Constantly run and jump to dodge attacks and unbalance foes.
• Charge attacks: Maximize damage by charging moves, even while jumping or moving.
• Maintain high power: Collect Green Orbs (from orbs, smashing foes, or ambulances) to increase Hulk's power. Reaching Critical Mass makes Hulk a serious threat. Power regenerates if Hulk avoids damage.
• Amass Smash Points: Earned by smashing objects, completing missions, and collecting collectibles. Use them to buy moves and for bragging rights.
• Combo enemies: Inflict more damage with consecutive hits using basic attacks, crushers, and uppercuts.
• Grab enemies: A highly effective way to inflict serious damage. Human-sized foes can be flicked away or set down gently.
• Use explosions: Damage multiple foes at once with explosions from missiles or thrown objects like vehicles and fuel barrels.
• Weaponize objects: Throw dumpsters, fuel tanks, barrels, crates, water towers, and rocks. Use poles and trees as clubs. Retool wrecking balls and missile launchers into weapons. Vehicles can become Steel Fists or Hulk Shields.

Items:

• Green Orbs: Restore health/power. Found scattered, in high places, alleys, or dropped by defeated enemies and smashed ambulances.
• Yellow Orbs: Grant bonus Smash Points. Found in enclosed, high, or hard-to-reach areas, and in rubble. Each appears only once.
• Hint Markers: Green question marks that add hints to the Main Menu. Finding all 61 grants a 50,000 Smash Point bonus. Usually found on rooftops, alleys, map edges, and open areas.
• Jump Markers: Allow Hulk to warp to different map areas. 14 exist (8 City Map, 4 Badlands, 2 Hideout). Appear as green circles when activated, yellow when not.
• Comic Books: Green 'C' in a circle icon. Grant bonus Smash Points or unlock special features like Cheat Codes and Game Art/Movies. 60 total, each appears once.
