Marvel Comics' Legendary Green Goliath Crashes Onto Retail Shelves
LOS ANGELES, May 28 - Vivendi Universal Games is putting gamers inside the skin of Marvel Comics' mean green wrecking machine with the release of The Incredible Hulk(TM) for Nintendo's Game Boy® Advance to retail stores nationwide. Based on the original silver age The Incredible Hulk(TM) comic series, the game allows players to relive the classic origin and early battles of the Hulk as they go to toe-to-toe with arch-villains such as the Abomination, the Executioner and the Leader. Developed by Pocket Studios, The Incredible Hulk has been rated "E" by the ESRB and carries a descriptor for violence. The game is currently available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $29.99.
"The Incredible Hulk brings the classic Marvel Comics stories written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to life with brilliant unrelenting action," said Luc Vanhal, North American President & COO of Vivendi Universal Games. "Fans of this mega franchise can now unleash the power, rage and fury of the Hulk wherever they go."
Played from an isometric perspective, players must guide the Hulk through six destructible worlds including military compounds, barren deserts, subterranean cities, underground caves, and earth's distant future. Throughout the game's 33 levels and 30 hours of gameplay, gamers will have to unravel complex puzzles and smash their way through the game's fully destructible environments as well as hoards of soldiers, tanks, helicopters, jets, cyber-warriors, robots and super-villains that stand in their way. Additionally, would-be Hulksters can enter a "Hulkmatch" with up to four other players and battle for supremacy via a link cable.
