17 Super Fun Times the Hulk Showed Up in Video Games

Added: 01.05.2015 23:19 | 4 views | 0 comments

1. The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

If you're looking for the pinnacle of Hulk video game experiences, look no further. Hulk rampages through an open world environment in such a faithful and fun way, it's no understatement to call it the Arkham Asylum of its day. The game ultimately served as a rough draft of Radical Entertainment's next action opus, Prototype.

2. Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes

Hulk appears in a number of excellent Capcom brawlers, but many fighting game fans consider Marvel vs. Capcom 2 the best of the bunch. Hulk's somewhat of a bottom-tier character due to his low agility, but in the hands of a capable player he still packs a mean punch (and a few kicks as well).

3. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

If you picked up a PSP in the early days, this action RPG stuffed with Marvel characters became a quintessential purchase. The move to a new genre worked perfectly with the large comic book inspired cast. You needed to snatch up the 360 version to take Hulk for a spin, though.

4. Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles - World War Hulk

The great pinball renaissance has flourished over the past few years. It may be difficult to find real life pinball machines, but digital versions keep getting better. Word War Hulk, a must have for Hulk fans, can even be downloaded on current-gen systems through Zen Pinball 2 and Pinball FX2

5. Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes

If you haven't yet surrendered to the recent collectible toy craze in video games, congratulations: you are officially a boring grownup. Disney Infinity now has a Marvel Super Heroes play set that includes all of the important Avengers characters. Hulk even brought flowers.

6. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

Stan SMASH! One of the highlights of LEGO Marvel are the Stan Lee missions, including one where the sultan of superheroes gets a hulked-out upgrade. There are plenty of great Hulk moments in the game, but this one deserves a special place in every comic book lover's heart.

7. LittleBigPlanet

The adorable Sackboy gets a grumpy makeover with this Hulk outfit included in the Marvel Costume Kit 4. You can finally build the Avengers Mansion you always dreamed of from scratch. But inviting Hulk along is probably a recipe for delightful destruction.

8. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2

The follow up to the stellar RPG has a hard time living up to the pedigree of its predecessor, but still delivers an excellent time. Most importantly for Hulk fans, the green machine is an unlockable character, conveniently located near some gamma radiators.

9. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

You have to look pretty closely to spot this one, but Hulk makes a brief little cameo in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions during a 2099 section (he's on a billboard in the background). It's nice to know Bruce Banner's legacy lives on to the end of the century.

10. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

This one's a treat for Hulk fans, especially considering he gets an upgrade from his previous incarnations. If you wanna go all out, definitely download his ancient warrior DLC costume skin.

11. Hulk (2003)

You've stumbled across an historical oddity: a game much better than its film tie-in. Radical Entertainment didn't let Eric Bana's clumsy Hulk movie slow them down. This brawler had much more of the Hulk spirit audiences were expecting. Ultimate Destruction, the game's follow up, went on to perfect the formula.

12. Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems

Based on the short lived Infinity Gauntlet comic book series, this cute Super NES sidescroller surprisingly holds up well. It was developed at a time when Capcom was the master of the action platformer, and it serves as an excellent companion piece to its sister game X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse.

13. Avengers: Initiative

Hulk continues to confound by succeeding where others have failed. This Android and iPhone game plays way better than you'd expect, taking careful cues from swipe-to-swing action games like Infinity Blade. In spite of the Avengers title, this game is mostly a Hulk affair, and against all odds, it's actually one of the best games he's starred in!

14. Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter

Along with X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes was one of the first games where you could see comic characters face off against classic fighters. It also was the first game to settle many playground bets over whether Hulk could destroy Zangief (Spoiler: he totally could).

15. Questprobe Featuring The Hulk

If you're a fan of the Hulk, there's a good chance you've got a soft spot for nostalgia, and this ancient adventure game for the ZX Spectrum delivers in spades. With a limited color palette, you had to use your imagination to think Hulk looked green, but for his very first video game outing, Hulk knocked it out of the park.

16. The Incredible Hulk (1994)

This is another one of Hulk's 16-bit sidescrollers, which debuted on both the Sega Genesis and the Super NES. It's not quite as imaginative as Capcom's counterpart two years later, but its multiple paths and lower difficulty make it a fun afternoon treat to breeze through.

17. Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth

Ubisoft doesn't quite nail fighting games the way Capcom does, but Battle for Earth is still worth a spin, most notably for its Kinect integration on the Xbox 360. It's probably the only game in existence that actually responds on screen when you yell "HULK SMASH!"
