{{quote|"There's a thin line between good and bad. I walk that line ''every single day''. When I stray from it, people die. My name is Bruce Banner, and this is me. I'm not a person anymore, I'm the Hulk. I did this to myself, all in the name of science. This ''is'' me, all that I've become. I'm a big, green time bomb. And I'm ''ticking''."|[[Opening Narration]]}}

 

 

Bruce Banner is struggling to rid himself of the Hulk persona as he is dying slowly from the effects of the machine he is using to attempt to get rid of it. He is attacked by General Thunderbolt Ross and forced to abandon his studies. He takes refuge with Doc Samson, and continues to attempt to find a cure with his aid, but another force is hunting him along with the military...

The game was a follow-up, but not a sequel, to the [[The Problem with Licensed Games|lackluster game based on the 2003 movie]]. Unlike that game, which took place mostly indoors and omitted the three mile leaps, the designers took full advantage of various comic continuities and made the game into a [[Wide Open Sandbox]], taking cues from the immensely successful ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spiderman 2]]'' video game. Graphical power was traded for the ability to smash just about everything on screen in a variety of ways, which proved immensely entertaining and made the game a critical and commercial success. Many argued that it was the first video game to truly make players ''feel'' like the Hulk.

{{quote|'''Hulk''': Hulk is not afraid. Hulk is strongest one there is.}}

** Devil Hulk: Here, he is a giant that towers the Savage Hulk several times over, representing Banner's abusive father, and his own dark desires of anarchy. In the comics Devil Hulk only possesses evil desires; the abusive father representative is Guilt Hulk, a being who looks nothing like Devil Hulk.

* [[Critical Status Buff]]: At critical health, Hulk has access to all his supermoves, but without the health penalties.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Joe Fixit, an alternate costume of the Hulk, will consistently spout off one-liners and other things.
