The Incredible Hulk (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A playthrough of U.S. Gold's 1994 licensed-based platforming beat 'em up for the SNES, The Incredible Hulk.
Played through on the hard difficulty level.
Like so many other popular Marvel franchises, The Incredible Hulk received his own game at the height of the 16-bit consoles' popularity. And like many other adaptations of the time, it's far from brilliant, but it's decent enough to provide a solid afternoon's entertainment.
In order to track down The Leader, The Hulk marches his burly self through half a dozen stages, uppercutting, pile driving, and generally brutalizing everything that crosses his path like a psychotic pro wrestler.
The levels are made up of mazes of branching hallways filled with tons of unpleasant thing looking to do you harm, but you have a sizable range of moves at your disposal, as well as the ability to pick up and throw things like boulders, phone booths, and cars. You have to be careful about your condition, though: once he's taken some damage, The Hulk loses his most powerful moves (and you really don't want to lose the Sonic Boom Hand Clap, believe me!), and if he takes further damage, he'll revert to his Bruce Banner form. While in his normal human form, ol' Brucie is virtually defenseless, but it can be useful when you want to sneak by the enemy unharmed or to enter passageways that The Hulk is too big to otherwise enter.
Though it's gaudy and cheesy looking, the graphics are pretty good for a SNES game. They look fairly similar in style to some other games that blend pre-rendered CG sprites with traditional pixel art (like ClayMates, Harley's Humongous Adventure, and Doom Troopers), and there's some nice attention to detail and color. (We also have the font from the Genesis Mortal Kombat game thrown in for whatever reason.) The audio fares about the same as the visuals. The music is of good quality, but it's laughably tacky in how it vacillates between porn funk and techno.
The gameplay is where things start to come apart, though. Like I said before, it plays well enough, but it has a few major issues. The controls suffer from a nasty amount of input lag, and many of the special move input sequences are unintuitively mapped to the controller. The level design needed a lot more variety, as well. You know those mazes made of plastic tubes that you can buy for hamsters? Many of these levels make you feel like you're the hamster.
The Incredible Hulk is a game that would've made for an ideal rental if you were into the character. It's not too difficult, everything generally works the way it's supposed to, and it provides some reasonable entertainment. That's not the most enthusiastic endorsement I've ever given a game, I know, but The Incredible Hulk on SNES is neither great nor awful, but decent.

[@swolsauce9923]

I thought I was crazy. I’ve always had this vivid memory of a hulk game where there was a level that looked like flesh and you could pick up and throw a heart. That was literally the only thing I remembered from this game.

[@phantomthiefjoker939]

If you meant inside your mind, I believe ya.

[@azarberries3991]

Holy shit me too? i was trying to remember if that really happened and kinda regretted figuring out its not a dream but hey atleast i got some nostalgia

[@NintendoComplete]

The Incredible Hulk is a decent platformer with a ridiculous style that makes it pretty fun. I mean, where else can you front like you're the Kool-Aid Man at a giant CG brain?

[@stg4theglitchog768]

I think Hulk look cooler in grey with red eyes.

[@Invidente7]

That giant brain was the actual final boss because the leader does nothing but stand there.

Oh man I haven't played this in years. I spent so much time playing it. It's one of my favorites. Thanks for posting.

[@Penfold8]

I never knew the Hulk liked doing the Undertaker's Tombstone as a finishing move.

[@SuperPeterok]

He did it before the Undertaker so technically the Undertaker does hulk's finishing move.

I remember playing this particular game on a jukebox with a SNES at a McDonald´s in Mexico around 10+ years ago. Played this a few years ago, now I want to replay it once again! So many memories.

Oh man, Hulk's walking animation is pretty special. Moving like a boss xD. Also, this soundtrack is TOTALLY fitting ;D

[@luciebureau6815]

I’m surprised by Bruce Banner’s body in this game. He looks like a more muscular version of Bill Bixby.

[@blackwolf249]

Indeed. They should have had Bruce still be able to punch, just having the enemies take way more hits to bring down would have made a MASSIVE difference.

[@CarozQH]

The graphics don't look like CG to me at all? Even the brain at the hand seems to be normal 2D pixel art, just with some very bright shading

[@LPetal86]

I've seen other people play this game before, but every time I watch another playthrough I always wonder the same questions, especially where The Leader is concerned. Was Probe inspired by _Contra_ ? Why do some of the orange enemies look like the fishmen from _Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance_ ? Who is the teal-colored fish dude with manboobs harassing Hulk in most of the levels? Lastly, do I really WANT to know the answers to these questions?

[@ianelhacker5777]

The teal-colored fish is Abomination/Emil Blonsky, appears in the movie of The Increíble Hulk 2008/UCM the Leader (the final boss appears in the end, their name is Samuel Sterns/Mr. Blue)

[@LPetal86]

@@ianelhacker5777 Hey thanks for letting me know. I followed the name you gave me to the Marvel Wiki and found that Abomination first appeared in January 1967 and was responsible for murdering Bruce Banner's wife, Betty, by injecting his irradiated blood into her dialysis machine while she was sick in the hospital. Quite a piece of work.
