Play The Incredible Hulk Online

Summary

The Incredible Hulk on the Game Boy Advance drops you into an isometric beat‑'em‑up where you control Dr. Bruce Banner’s green alter‑ego across 33 sprawling levels. The Hulk can sprint in eight directions, jump, smash walls, and hurl anything from vending machines to broken buildings, while a rage gauge builds with each hit and fuels three powerful special attacks. Hidden passages often lie behind cracked walls, and certain stages force you to hunt down generators to clear hazardous obstacles, rewarding exploration with health and rage pickups.

A standout feature is the four‑player "Hulkmatch" mode accessed via the link cable, letting each participant pick a differently coloured Hulk for an all‑out brawl that ends when a kill count is reached or only one hulking survivor remains. The multiplayer’s chaotic object‑throwing and simple win conditions add a surprising replay hook despite the core game’s repetitive AI and clunky controls.

Visually, the title shines with large‑scale enemy groups and smooth sprite animation that echo classic isometric titles, though background details stay minimal and the soundtrack loops relentlessly. Critics praised the graphics and destructible environments while lamenting the shallow combat and uneven audio, making it a mixed‑bag experience that still holds nostalgic charm for handheld beat‑'em‑ups.

Storyline

The Incredible Hulk for the Game Boy Advance opens with a gamma bomb test in a remote desert where scientist Bruce Banner saves his friend Rick Jones and absorbs the blast’s radiation. The exposure turns Banner into the Hulk, a powerful beast he can barely control, and he soon breaks out of the underground detention facility while General Thunderbolt Ross blames the creature for the disappearance of both men.

The Hulk battles military forces and a band of humanoid mutants led by the genius Leader, who also draws his intellect from gamma radiation. After discovering that the subterranean tyrant Tyrannus has captured Ross’s daughter Betty, the Hulk storms the tyrant’s palace and rescues her.

Ross later pits the Hulk against Banner’s prototype armored robot and uses Rick as bait, unaware that Banner and the Hulk are the same. The Leader attempts to steal the gamma‑absorbing Absorbatron, but the Hulk thwarts the heist and later defeats the Leader’s Super‑Humanoid.

Teleported to a futuristic city ruled by the Executioner, the Hulk returns to the present, fights Tyrannus’s Octosapens robot in an underground arena, and finally confronts the Abomination—Emil Blonsky transformed by Banner’s tech. After defeating the Abomination, Rick reveals the Hulk’s true nature to Ross, and the military lets the Hulk escape back to Banner’s secret lab.
