HULK SMASH… your expectations! This week on Play Comics, we’re going green with rage as we dive into 2005’s The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction – the game that asked the important question: “What if we gave players the power to literally punch a helicopter out of the sky and then use a bus as a baseball bat?”

Developed by Radical Entertainment for the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, this comic book adaptation threw subtlety out the window faster than Banner throws a tantrum. Forget stealth missions or carefully planned strategies – this game was all about embracing your inner gamma-powered toddler and turning entire city blocks into your personal sandbox of destruction.

Joining us for this episode of controlled chaos is Matt Storm from the fantastic podcasts “Fun” and Games and Reignite! They’ll help us explore how this title managed to capture the pure, unadulterated joy of being an unstoppable force of nature with anger management issues. Together, we’ll discuss whether throwing cars at military helicopters counts as a valid combat strategy, and why sometimes the best solution to every problem is just… more smashing.

So strap in, podcast listeners – we’re about to go from zero to “HULK STRONGEST THERE IS!” faster than you can say “you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.” Warning: No buildings, vehicles, or military installations were harmed in the making of this episode… but we can’t make the same promise about our gaming controllers.Continue Reading
