Barely able to keep themselves out of bed, shuffled terminally sleepy dobreli to the bathroom, only to hear a nasty rumbling air in the empty taps. Breakfast of burnt oranges, went to work on the bus, the eyeballs stuffed with sweaty, nervous people, as a barrel herrings. Arriving, finally, to the hated office in the morning you got a scolding from his superiors and so on and so forth. In those days people generally, they say, comes to pens, boils and can explode (in a figurative sense of course), head to bite, for example, or format the punch face fellow. Who knows, maybe it was after a working day someone got the idea to create a comic book about a simple guy Bruce Banner, who, being driven to extremes, and if he could not solve all their problems, create others could discharge the same beautifully. Buddy turned to a hefty green-burglar, endowed with uncommon strength left and extraordinary jumping ability for his size. Mount muscle derives its name (or rather nickname?) Hulk, which is translated from of bourgeois, sorry to English means "big galoot." The idea proved so successful that it became intimately Hulk'y in comics, and he, in his rage began to make its way into other elements, finally broke free on a wide theatrical release in the form of the same movie on a more narrow TV screens and monitors as a cantilever and computer games. Actually, about her and talking. Referring to the genre of action project The Hulk managed to combine both traits, no doubt, good films and comic elements of the series. This has resulted in new, different from the movie plot, which can not but rejoice. After all, we know what usually turn games created in close conjunction with the previously released movies. However, once forced to cut the wings of your optimism - game story does not shine with originality and generally does not affect gameplay. According to classic komiksovoy scenario we have the main villain - The Leader - and a few enemies of lower rank. Among them are borrowed from the comic book Madman, Flux and Ravage The entire activity of players is reduced to a march-throw on the game level with associated destruction of everything that moves, and the destruction of all that is careless enough to stand still. It should be grateful nod to developers for the great sense of his own omnipotence, invincibility. The player can really feel invincible Hulk'om. You're breaking the walls, floor, ceiling, lift your hands and can easily plunk down opponents.Among the latter - military equipment, poor soldiers, specially created to deal with green bully robots, soldiers, mutants, and even my favorite mutated dogs, for scenes battle that is sure to see the movie. All of this motley company Hulk not just throw right and left in different directions, but also actively flailed his shovel ruchischami. Since our husky is not trained to shoot, the developers decided to diversify its maximum fistfight. It offers the usual zubotychiny, a combination of three punches, punches in the air and stunning the enemy cotton. All this can be combined in its sole discretion, arranging a truly murderous brawl. In addition, Hulk, causing injuries and he was injured, is able to indulge in unbridled rage (a kiss in the direction of the bloody Miss Rayne), when the movements become faster, jump higher, hit harder. Not a mutant, and the spitting image of olympian! In addition to the fury of the burglar may carry out new, more devastating combination of punches. By the way, if you get bored split knuckles Hulk'a on heads of enemies and the iron carcass robots, you can equip a hero fragment of metal pipe or other weighty debris, which become "processed" Hulk'om building. However, what we're all about Hulk'e yes on Hulk'e. There's still himself, Bruce Banner. Although it would be better it was not. Game for this guy cachectic subject of several, so to speak, stealth-level, where developers propose to us to solve puzzles on a pair of blunt substitution digits, giving them a serious "hacker" mission. Honestly, boring and unoriginal. Where as interesting to break and destroy everything around, throwing fellows in the wall, to crush their heaviest barrels, grinding giant fists, tearing to pieces of robots, to sow death and destruction! Sorry, got carried away. In story mode game action unfolding on military bases, laboratories and office complexes. True, the practice shows - do not care where and what to break. Especially since the end of the game all these locations are merged into a series differ little from each other buildings, now and then causing a feeling of deja vu. Looks like the designers a little bit so tired and just drank all the life-giving Coca-Cola. Anyway, when the entourage slowly but surely begins to fill teeth on edge, the game ends happily, so especially to curse the developers are not for that. Rather, should be praised for Story Mode is that the length of what is needed. After all, even the inimitable Tommy, the protagonist Mafia, said that the main thing in life - balance and sense of proportion. And if you still were not enough of a destructive mayhem, welcome to the modes of Survival, Time Attack and Hulk Smash!, Where you can naprygatsya enough, incoming and kick, in the sense of the souls of all the beat (and you thought that?). Graphically, the toy is not repellent, although nothing extraordinary to offer. It should be noted perhaps that cel-shading, which adds a subtle komiksovoy style heroes. Looks really nice and quite original (the technology something relatively new). Meanwhile, the "cute" - general definition of The Hulk as a whole. That's right - nice, no more, no less. Game of the category of "half an hour before bedtime." The absence of a strong plot and variety in gameplay not give her to become a hit, but made on the basis of comic toy on it and does not apply. Want to have some fun and give vent to his destructive urge - a toy for you. Do not want to - your cause, just remember that for beating his colleagues and the collapse of office space in the real world is shining, "government house", even taking into account the heat of passion.
