The Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction FAQ.
	by AchtungNight (DougElder21@yahoo.com)

Hello everyone. This is AchtungNight, bringing you the much-awaited FAQ for a
(in my opinion) great freeroam game based on a totally excellent comic series.
Seriously this game is a better freeroam game than any other on the console
market today. Where else can you more easily create mass panic than in this
game? Your mere presence on the streets causes people to scream, swerve their
vehicles into walls or pedestrians, and every move you make causes a cacophony
of sirens, alarms, and smashy goodness. No cops getting too close or stupid
balloon-losing kids to worry about here either. And it's got great sounds,
music, and graphics. Not only that, once you've finished the game, you can
replay the story all over again with all the moves you've unlocked in the first
round available. What other free-roam game lets you do that? :) The game is
good for your stress, and just fun. But enough about that, let's get to the
FAQ. :)

This FAQ Contains SPOILERS!!!

1. Game Overview.

Meet Dr. Bruce Banner, a man on the edge. A brilliant scientific mind, a highly
intelligent nuclear physicist. Also a frightened man, a hunted man, a man who
no one in their right mind wants to upset. Because when he gets angry, he
becomes a green giant, an unstoppable menace, the strongest physical force
there is- The Incredible Hulk!
This game is the story of one of Dr. Banner's adventures as he searches for a
cure for his condition while continuing to try to survive in a fearful world.
With the might of the US Army and a few nasty villains arrayed against him,
this is never an easy task. To make things worse, a mysterious entity known as
the Devil Hulk has suddenly taken up residence in Banner's mind, and is
compelling him to increasingly more dementia and destruction. Banner's object
in this game is to build a machine that can help rid him of the Devil Hulk,
while dealing with the military and other forces out to capture/kill him. Good
luck!

2. Basic Controls.
This FAQ was written for the Playstation 2 game version on the Easy difficulty
setting. On harder settings, you will take more damage from enemy attacks and
deal out less. Enemies also get more numerous, smarter, and tougher. If you
feel like challenging greater difficulties, good luck! Controls here are pretty
basic. Move, grab stuff, smash. I will go more in depth in the Move List, but
here are a few special notes:

- The Main Menu. Use it, love it. All your basic things are here. You can view
it when you start the game or anytime by going into the church. Of note are the
Mission Lists, Hint Lists, Story Recaps, and Blonsky Files (which provide
additional insights into the minds of your foes and their plans). Also check
out the Buy Menu to purchase new moves whenever you can. And of course Save
often! :)

- The Pause Menu. This is also useful, particularly the Map and Move Gallery
features. One enables you to see where you are at all times and the location of
enemies and objectives. The other can remind you of fun ways in which to pound
your enemies. Great fun! :) Note that saving in this menu will automatically
return you to the Church at mid-strength whenever you load that save.

- Movement. You have many ways in which to move. Walk, run, climb, and jump
around like a flea. All are fun and fast. Take note that your momentum while
running and jumping will often do lots of damage to your surroundings.
Buildings and the ground crack, trees shed their leaves, people fall over, and
cars and other objects are smashed and bulldozed aside. Great fun. Jumping is
by far the best way to move around- just steer with the movement stick to cover
great distances and jump again and again as you hit the ground to maintain
speed. You can jump off walls, buildings and vehicles. Also take note that you
automatically jump out of water whenever you fall in. Hulk ain't exactly a good
swimmer. :( Running is a close second, especially since you can run up walls
indefinitely. Have fun with it!

- Grab button. Grab stuff whenever possible, it's part of what makes the game
so much fun. You can open up two additional ways of moving just by grabbing
stuff- ground-surf on a Hulk Shield or hang glide using a giant gorilla
balloon! Grabbed objects also make great projectiles, clubs, and weapons of all
sorts. More on this later.

- Charge Moves. Hold down a button and release when Hulk is fully glowing to do
a Charge Move. These will often give you more damage to your smashes and height
to your jumps. Fun Fun. Also the key to completing many levels.

- Select button. This will make Hulk let loose a roar whenever you are standing
still and not holding a club. Great for reminding foes of your supremacy, not
to mention the general populace. Other than that, it has no real use in
gameplay.

- Critical Mass. This state is entered when the Hulk amasses more life than his
meter can hold or when he is a mere one ot two hits away from death (Adrenaline
Rush). In this state your moves all do more damage, plus you can use special
Critical Mass Moves (covered below). Get into it quite often and use it! Note-
using said Critical Mass Moves will consume your Critical Mass energy, possibly
dropping you out of Critical Mass. Getting hurt can also knock you out of it.
But you just need a little CM energy to do the moves, so do them quickly once
you can if it's necessary.

- Cheat Codes. These can be entered from the Main Menu's Extras section and
viewed in the Hints section. Use them to give yourself access to alternate
costumes, extra life and damage, more smash points, and other cool things. Fun.

3. The Cast.

Good Guys:
- Bruce Banner/The Hulk: This is you. A genius scientist with a serious temper
problem. A giant green man with immense physical powers. A tortured mind
wreaking out his rage on a fearful populace. An unstoppable physical force who
is only growing more dangerous. A nightmare controllable only by hypnotic
suggestion. A load of fun to become.
- Dr. Leonard Samson: Your one real friend in this game. A scientist like
Banner, he has fashioned a machine that gives the Hulk hypnotic suggestions,
enabling him to carry out missions more complex than just run-and-smash. Voiced
by Cam Clarke. A useful ally.

The Bad Guys and Others:
- General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Not really a bad guy per se, more a guy
caught in an impossible situation and determined to triumph despite the odds.
Kinda like Bruce Banner himself. :) Ross is in command of all the military
forces assigned to stopping the Hulk's rampages, mostly US Army but some Air
Force as well. He is in charge of Branson Military Base and has quite a lot of
men and machines at his disposal. His reasons for hating the Hulk range from a
patriotic duty to serve his country by ridding it of the only force mightier
than the military to a desire to prevent Dr. Banner from hooking up with his
beautiful daughter. Not a very nice person, but fun to be around. Cam Clarke
also voices this guy.
- Emil Blonsky/The Abomination: This is the game's real bad guy. The government
official who along with General Ross directs The Division, an organization
dedicated to the study and neutralization of mutant threats, Blonsky is
obsessed with learning more about the Hulk's power for reasons unknown. As the
game progresses, Blonsky gains some measure of Hulk abilities himself and
becomes the Abomination, a bigger and smarter version of the Hulk. Your battles
with him will be legendary. Voiced by Ron Perlman.
- Mercy: Blonsky's bodyguard/unrequited lover. A Gamma mutant who is under
Division control thanks to bionic implants. Her powers include telekinesis,
teleportation, and mind-blasting. Voiced by Vanessa Marshall.
- Devil Hulk: This is another serious threat to the Hulk. A sinister being
taking shape in Bruce Banner's mind, the Devil Hulk is compelling the Hulk to
create increasingly more destruction and chaos. It is only a matter of time
before Banner will be unable to keep control and become the Devil Hulk forever.
Acquiring the means to defeat this monster is your objective for most of the
game. Richard Moll provides the voice. By the way, the Devil Hulk is very much
like a Goroistro Demon from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Check out the AD&D
Monster Manuals for more information on these things.
- Random Pedestrians: Civilians for the Hulk to pound and grab. Usually found
running around screaming in the levels. Go after them to create chaos.
- Ground Vehicles: Range from basic cars and trucks to military trucks,
ambulances, and buses. Most can be weaponized into Steel Fists gloves or Hulk
Shields in the case of larger vehicles. Great for use as projectiles too.
- The Police: Responsible for maintaining law and order in the city of the
game. Seriously outmatched by the Hulk. You will only see them outside their
cars in early levels, and even then their pistols are no threat to you at all.
So have fun going after them. Eat your heart out, GTA main characters. :)
- Division Soldiers: These are your basic enemy in early levels and throughout
the game. Some have machine guns, some have missile launchers. All are not that
much of a threat. Just dodge their fire and pound them down.
- Tanks: Okay, now we're facing some more serious enemies. Four types of these
will be after you. First is the Bradley, which is a fast moving vehicle with a
missile launcher and a machine gun. Not much to worry about, except in early
levels. Like all tanks, this vehicle can knock you back by charging into you
(this is annoying, but not damaging). Next up is the Abrams, which is much
slower than the Bradley but has a far more powerful cannon and machine gun.
Take note that these are also more heavily armored, requiring you to find ways
to punch harder to damage them. Charge up your attacks, grab and throw objects,
put on steel fists, or use clubs. Next to appear is the MRLS (Multiple Rocket
Launcher System), a tank that fires several guided missiles. These are lightly
armored, but their missiles can inflict serious hurt. Note that their launchers
can be weaponized for use by the Hulk after the vehicle is smashed. Finally
there is the double-barrelled tank, a vehicle I'm not sure exists in the real
world. As far as arms go, this tank has only a powerful cannon, but is very
heavily armored and will plague you in later levels of the game. For lack of
another name, I'm going to call it the Howitzer.
- Aircraft: These are highly manueveroable and hard to hit, and their missiles
pack quite a sting. Most also have less damaging machine guns. First to appear
are the unarmed Huey transport helicopters, which carry soldiers and other
objects. Next up is the armed Comanche, which will be after Hulk with missiles
and guns. These usually appear in swarms. Finally there is the Falcon Strike
Fighter, a highly acrobatic hoverjet with the same armaments as the Comanche.
These will appear in pairs in later levels and in swarms in the final missions.
- Hulkbusters: These giant mechs are used by Division Soldiers to become
powerful enough to fight Hulk one-or-one. Or rather, try to fight him
one-on-one. :) Most are armed with a machine gun and missiles as well as their
fists. All can charge their attacks and the smaller ones can fly and maneuver
almost as well as an aircraft. There are five types of Hulkbusters to worry
about- Infantry (basic type, come after you singly, in pairs, or in swarms),
Combat Wardens (elite Infantry unit that you will deal with in a couple
missions), Capture Wardens (punching-only mechs that will also be after you in
a couple missions whose attacks can do serious damage to Hulk), Destroyers
(three-story mechs that are basically heavier versions of the Infantry units),
and Titans (the biggest of all, these Hulkbusters are boss enemies that can
inflict real pain- more on them later). Your basic enemies later on in the game.

4. Item and Hulk Move List.
Herein I will cover all the things Hulk can pick up in the game to enhance his
power and all the ways in which he can pound his foes. Have fun. First a few
basic combat tips:

- Stay on the move. Constantly run and jump around foes to dodge their attacks
and throw them off balance. It is the key to survival.
- Charge your moves for maximum effect. You can charge even while jumping or
moving.
- Maintain a high power level. The green bar in the top left corner represents
Hulk's power. Power is life. You can get more of it by grabbing Green Orbs. The
bigger the orb, the more the power. Look for these in high places, alleys, or
just scattered around. You can also smash foes to get them- the bigger the
enemy the more you get when they're defeated. Get enough power and you enter
Critical Mass, and Hulk becomes a serious threat. :) Power will also regenerate
up to a medium level if the Hulk can avoid taking damage for a short time.
- Amass lots of Smash Points and use them. You get Smash Points for hurting any
smashable object in the game. Get all you can. They can be used to buy moves in
the Main Menu and for bragging rights. The most Smash Points come from grabbing
collectibles and completing missions.
- Combo enemies. This should go without saying. Why hit an enemy just once when
the more hits the more damage? Use your basic attacks to inflict all kinds of
damage and see how many combos, crushers, and uppercuts you can find.
- Grab enemies. Do this a lot. It is the best way to inflict serious hurt. Note
that with human size foes you can also use your basic attack buttons to flick
them away or set them down nice and easy with a pat on the head. :)
- Use explosions to damage several foes at once. This includes explosions from
enemy missiles and thrown objects like vehicles and fuel barrels. Fun!
- Weaponize, weaponize, weaponize! Practically any object can be picked up and
thrown at foes for serious damage. Dumpsters, fuel tanks, barrels, crates,
water towers, and most rocks make great projectiels or two-handed clubs. You
can also pick up vehicles and turn them into Steel Fists or Hulk Shields, use
poles and trees as clubs, throw clubs at enemies like javelins, and retool
wrecking balls and enemy missile launchers into weapons you can use. A great
way to turn the tide of battle in your favor.

Now for the items:

Green Orbs- These are life. Grab them as needed. Smashing foes will always give
you lots of them, and so will smashing ambulances in city areas.

Yellow Orbs- These give you bonus smash points. Look for them in enclosed,
high, or hard to reach areas. You can also find them in the rubble of destroyed
buildings. Each only appears once.

Hint Markers- These green question marks will add hints to your Main Menu and
give you basic tips on the game. Take note of them. Finding all 61 will give
you a 50,000 Smash Point bonus. I have not done that myself and I am not going
to take the time to list all Hint Marker locations herein. If you're looking
for them, though, rooftops, alleys, edges of the maps, and any open area are
where they usually turn up.

Jump Markers- These let Hulk warp to different areas around the map, useful to
flee and regroup as well as get close to an objective without a long and
possibly painful trip. 14 exist in the game- 8 on the City Map, 4 in the
Badlands, and two more at your Hideout at the Church. These markers appear as
green circles when activated and yellow circles if not activated yet (just
touch one to activate it for use in the remainder of the game).

Comic Books- Represented by a green C in a circle icon. These will give bonus
Smash Points or unlock special features like Cheat Codes and Game Art/Movies
viewable from the Main Menu. Each appears once, 60 are in the game total. I'm
not going to list them either, YuGiOhFm2002 and YuGiOhAngel have already
written an excellent FAQ for that and I would rather plug their work. Check it
out. :)

And now the Moves. Note, these are all the combo moves. I've already covered
basic attacks and grabs. Not all moves are listed herein. Let's go:
Explosive Triple- This move is one of the special combos available from the
start besides basic attacks and grabs. Use it by hitting your basic attack
button three times.
Hammer- Your basic special attack. Smash your foes hard.
Left Uppercut, Right Uppercut, Two-Fisted Smash, Tank Crusher, Copter Crusher,
Slam Dunk, Hulkbuster Crusher, Demolition Knee, Drop Kick, etc.- Experiment
with certain button combinations to find and use all these moves. All are fun.
Air Strike- Whack enemies with an attack while in the air. Can be yhe opening
move for Air Combos.

The following moves can be purchased with Smash Points from the Main Menu
(note, not all are available at the beginning of the game. Play through Story
Missions to unlock them. Note also that some moves must be purchased prior to
purchasing their upgrades and that many moves have tutorials available which
you should use to get to know them. Enjoy.):

Savage Banner- A different skin for Hulk, available for laughs.

Steel Fists- A weaponization move. Rip a car or other small vehicle in two and
use the halves as boxing gloves for improved punching power. Air conditioners
can also be used with this move. This is the key to damaging armored tanks with
basic punches. About the only downside to this move is that you can't grab more
stuff while holding Steel Fists. So throw them away (preferably towards an
enemy) if you want to pick something else up.

Dashing Straight- Punch while running. Great for smacking just about anything
out of Hulk's way.

Air Recovery- A very important ability. You can jump in the air when hit by a
missile or other powerful attack, flip, and instantly land back on your feet
ready to strike back. Very useful against all foes.

Running Grab- Grab stuff while running without slowing down. Great for
weaponizing on the move. Get this early and use it often.

Ground Smash- This move will let Hulk pound the ground to toss foes about and
injure them. Great to use when you're standing on top of a tank or need to
clear the area around you. Upgrades include the Air
Ground Slam (slam down from a jump onto a foe for more damage) and Dashing
Ground Slam (dash into an enemy and slam them for even more damage).

Backhand- A combo that delivers a Pimp-Slap to an enemy. Fun and damaging.

Punt Kick- Kick a field goal with an enemy as the ball. Great for getting foes
away from you. Especially useful on Hulkbusters and tanks.

Sonic Clap- Another useful area-clearing move. Damage all enemies in the
immediate area around you. Upgrades include the Dashing Sonic Clap (clap while
moving) and Air Sonic Clap (clap while in the air).

Air Stomp- Jump up and smash whatever lies beneath you. Useful in early
missions for clearing areas and hurting lightly armored vehicles. Not much use
later unfortunately.

Smash Express- Grab any object that takes two hands to carry, run, and slam it
into an enemy. This move is good for damaging Hulkbusters, tanks, and bosses.

Double Fist Toss- Throw stuff while running. Important technique to master.
Learn early and use often to hurt your foes.

Critical Atomic Slam- The basic Critical Slam is available to you when in
Critical Mass from the beginning of the game. This move gives it added range
and power. This move will basically inflict serious damage to an enemy. An
upgrade for it is the Air Critical Atomic Slam, which will add more damage to
the attack when you hit an enemy with it from above. Very cool. :)

Slam Kick- Follow up a slam from a two-handed object with a punishing kick.
Great move for damaging Bosses, tanks, and Hulkbusters.

Shield- Another weaponization move. Turn any bus, truck, ambulance, or
smashed-up tank body into a large shield that Hulk can use to block attacks.
Hulk will automatically use the shield to deflect any incoming attack when he
is walking or standing still. When running he will deflect attacks from the
front only. This is the best weaponization in the game IMO. Use it often to
shield yourself while closing in on an enemy to pound them hard. Note that the
shield itself can also be used as a weapon- it will work the same as any
two-handed object for moves like the Slam Kick and Smash Express. You can also
throw it and it will return to you like a boomerang- a great technique for
damaging foes at a distance. Upgrades for this move include Shield Grind, which
you can use to turn your shield into a ground surfboard for travel across rough
terrain at high speed, and Shield Grind Kick, which lets you kick said
surfboard into an enemy for heavy damage. An all-around great technique.

Shockwave Smash- This move lets Hulk pound the ground to release a shockwave in
a line, damaging any foes in its path. Great for use against tanks, though any
flying or two-legged foe will dodge it easily. You can upgrade this move to
release additional more powerful waves with the Shockwave Smash Repeater and
Super Shockwave Smash purchases.

Air Dash- Leap forward while in midair to cover more ground and dodge enemy
attacks. Very important and useful technique to master. Upgrades include the
Super Air Dash, which adds speed and distance, the Double Air Dash, which lets
you dash twice per jump instead of once, and the Double Super Air Dash, which
adds speed and distance to your air dashes once again.

Tornado Uppercut- This move will damage an enemy and fling them high in the
air. A great way to set up an air combo.

Tornado Frenzy- This is a very cool air combo move. Use it to heavily damage
all flying foes.

Rapid Punch Burst- Inflict a ton of damage on a single enemy with several quick
punches. Great for use against bosses and Hulkbusters. A very fun move.

Critical Thunderclap- A powerful Sonic Clap that will damage everything on the
screen. You must be in Critical Mass to use this move. Great against bosses and
swarms of foes. An upgrade is the Air Critical Thunderclap which does even more
damage and is great against large numbers of aircraft (jump into the air and
clap to do this move).

Power Surge- Increases your life bar. Three levels can be purchased.

Club Smash- This move will allow you to execute some punishing swings with a
club. Great for damaging foes. Note- objects that can be used as clubs include
trees, poles, lampposts, girders, antennas, oil pumps,
and (my favorite) tank turrets. Using a club already ups your fists' damage
potential, but this move will let you do a special strike with one- which is
nice.

Rising Upper- Another great way to smack foes into the air and combo them. Fun.

Missile Punchback- Turn enemy missiles back at them with a well-timed punch.
Fun and great against MRLS and aircraft.

Headbutt- Another punishing combo move.

Air Enemy Grapple- Grab foes in the air. A great move against
Hulkbusters and the key to setting up powerful combos.

Spear Impale- Charge a foe with a club and impale him on the end of it. Great
for inflicting some serious damage on tough foes. Not sure what pierces the
enemy when used with tank turrets. One note- you don't need this ability to use
clubs like spears. Just hold down the throw button when you have one and you
can throw your club like a spear at an enemy. This move just allows you to keep
the club in your hands when spearing someone with it. Useful, no? :)

Dashing Uppercut- Yet another way to knock foes into the air and damage them as
a setup for an air combo. Getting any ideas here?

Bowling- A very cool weaponization move. Grab any large round object, weaponize
it, and roll the result to heavily damage and knock aside lines of objects or
foes. Big round rocks and giant ball or hamburger signs can be used in this
manner.

Cyclone Skyjack- The best way to take out an aircraft, this move lets you grab
one in midair and use your weight to force it to make a sudden crash-landing.
Fun as heck.

Gamma Quake- Grab an enemy and slam them down hard. Cool move.

Elbow Drop- Drop off a wall with an extended elbow to smash the ground hard.
The more height, the more damage. A classic wrestling move and a good move here.

Floor Kick- Kick an enemy while they're prone on the ground. Great for combos.

Critical Mass Surge- Increases the amount of Critical Mass power Hulk can hold.
Two levels available. Very helpful for extending your power and life.

Super Air Strike- Upgrades your basic Air Strike with more height, speed, and
damage.

Hitchhike- Jump onto and grapple large foes (Destroyers and bosses like Titans
and the Abomination) to unleash serious pain with grapple attacks. Not very
useful, I found, since the enemy usually has some kind of counterattack ready
to throw you off and hurt you bad. But use it if you like.

Missile Catch- Catch incoming missiles and hurl them back at attackers. Another
great way to smash aircraft or MRLS. You can even hurl the missile at a
different foe than the one that shot it by targeting that foe. Charge fully to
activate a homing missile- which is the best way to down highly manuevorable
aircraft like Falcons.

Hammer Toss- Grab a tank by the barrel and swing it around. Does heavy damage
to other enemies that are close by. If you swing it around fast enough, you can
even launch the tank at an enemy! Too bad tanks are so heavy you can't move
while holding one or throw it at your foes with a single button toss like you
can most objects. Note- this move can only be done with Bradley, Abrams, and
Howitzer tanks.

Missile Pack Weaponize- Use this move to turn an MRLS's missile launcher into
your own personal rocket launcher. Smash the MRLS, grab its launcher, and
weaponize! The missiles are great for hitting foes at long range, and fully
charging an attack will make one homing. Very useful.

Ball and Chain- This weaponization lets you grab the wrecking ball off a large
crane and swing it around at your foes. Look for cranes near any construction
site. The wrecking ball is probably your most damaging close-range weapon, so
use it to pummel Hulkbusters and tanks.

Air Spike- Slam a foe into the ground after an air combo with a volleyball
move. Very damaging.

Target Kick- Grab an aircraft and kick it toward the target of your choice as
it spins into a crash. Very useful when battling aircraft swarms.

Gamma Grinder- Like Gamma Quake, but used with large foes. Another punishing
grapple attack.

Critical Pain- The best Critical Mass attack. Does serious damage to a single
foe and is the key to beating most bosses. Get in critical mass, get close to
and target a foe, and execute this attack to give them a very bad pounding.

Running Club Ram- Slam a foe with a club while running into them. Very damaging.

Gamma Bomb- The best grapple move. Grab a Hulkbuster, jump into the air, and
attack. You will slam them into the ground and use the resulting shockwaves to
damage foes and jump up again to create more shockwaves, repeating effects.
Hurts the foe you grabbed and foes close by, so useful as heck. Doing this move
makes me wish Hulk could put on a leopard mask a la King from Tekken.

Air Cannonball- Jump, then tuck and roll into an enemy for massive damage.
Great range and power, but not as fun as air combos.

5. Challenge Missions.
These missions are represented on the screen by orange stars and on the map by
orange icons, an exclamation point for new ones and a star for ones you've
completed. They are optional missions that give you smash points for completion
which you can do any time during free roam. The better you do (faster time,
more enemies defeated, etc) the more smash points you get. Challenges can be
replayed as many times as you like, so you have many chances to practice and
top your best performances. You can even win Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals
for especially high scores. Note- not all challenges are available from the
beginning of the game. Some require certain missions be completed or moves be
purchased before they will appear. Check your in-game maps often for new ones,
there will usually be more available after every chapter and some story
missions. Challenges you can't do yet appear on the screen as gray stars. You
can also replay all the challenges you've completed directly from the Main
Menu. For ease of space, I will cover all the challenges here.

City Challenges:

Fast Mover 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6- These are basic race-against-time minigames.
Collect all the tokens as fast as you can, running and jumping to grab more.
The tokens you must grab can be spotted on your minimap as green markers, and
on the main screen they appear as red or blue balls. They must be grabbed in
order- the blue ball is always the next one you must grab and the reds are for
later. Grab all the tokens as quickly as you can- the faster your time the more
Smash Points you will earn. The best tips I can give for these challenges are
as follows- move fast and keep moving, always toward the next token. Grab the
blue ones, and keep all the red ones you can in sight so you're set up in case
one of them is next to turn blue. Keep in mind all the ways you can move- run,
jump, climb, wall run, and air dash. Skillful use of all will be necessary.
Each of these 6 challenges has a different amount of tokens to collect.

Rooftop Jumping 1 and 2- These minigames are jumping challenges. You must get
as far from the starting marker as you can, staying on rooftops only. If you
touch the ground the challenge is over. Rooftop Jumping 2 lets you use Climb
and Wall-Run, but Rooftop Jumping 1 is jumping-only. The more distance you
cover, the better your score. Practice your jumping, and use the movement stick
and air dashes to aim for rooftops- good luck with these.

Batter Up!- This challenge gives you a club and you must use that club to swat
soldiers who jump out of a Huey helicopter as far as you can. Charge your
swings for extra power. The greater distance you hit the soldiers, the greater
your score. My tips on this challenge- be quick and keep practicing. You have a
time limit, so hit as many soldiers as you can within that time and keep trying
to knock them farther and farther. Play ball!

S.W.A.T.- This is like Batter Up!, only you're going for amount of soldiers
hit, not distance. Four Hueys surround your rooftop and one to three soldiers
will jump out of each in some random sequence. Hit as many as you can with your
club within the time limit. The more you hit the better your score.

Hulk Float! and Hulk Float Again!- These challenges involve hang gliding. You
start out on a roof holding a giant gorilla balloon and must use said balloon
to glide to the center of a ring of flares. Your score here seems to involve
distance traveled, though I'm not sure. If you wall run, climb, or touch the
ground, the challenge ends. If you're outside the ring of flares at that time,
you fail the challenge. My tips here- charge your initial jump so you can get
height and float farther, use your movement stick for steering around
obstacles, and Air Dash when you want to attain more distance. These are pretty
much impossible to complete without the Air Dash, I believe.
Jimmy the Cannon adds: Your score is based on how close you are to the flare in
the center of the circle when you land. I actually didn't need the Air Dash on
this (didn't even think to use it) - A fully-charged jump from your starting
point will easily get you the distance you need. I had to circle around the
landing point a few times.
Surf City- I hear Surf City is a swinging place that's lots of fun where there
are two girls for every boy. :) This minigame involves Shield Grinding. You
start out with a Shield in hand and must use that shield like a surfboard to
move around on the map and collect as many blue ball tokens as you can within
the time limit. Fun. You must have the Shield Grind move to do this challenge.

Hulk's Rooftop! Hulk's!- This particularly fun challenge involves the Hulk's
ability to be an immovable object. You are on a rooftop and you must stay on
that rooftop while Missile Soldiers, Comanches, and Hulkbuster Infantry try to
knock you off with attacks. The longer you stay on the rooftop, the better your
score. My tips are: dodge a lot, keep moving, and beat up the Hulkbusters as
they come in. Also use Missile Catch and Missile Punchback (if you have them)
to knock back enemy missiles. Good luck.

Urban Golf- You have a club and you must hit a large ball towards a flag. You
must get it there using as few swings as possible. Keep practicing, and charge
your swings for extra distance. Try not to bounce the ball off objects, the
laws of physics do not work in your favor here. Fore!

House of Cars- Grab a car, run up a building, and put the car on the roof.
Repeat as often as you can within the time limit. The more cars you can get up
the building, the better your score. Mastery of Running Grab, wall running, and
jumping will help you here.

Kick The Can- Get the car to the circle of flares as quickly as possible by
smacking it around. You are not allowed to carry the car. This is a difficult
mission- charge your slaps for distance and try not to bounce the car off
obstacles. Don't worry about destroying the car, it's impossible. When the
seriously banged-up piece of junk enters the circle, you win.
Jimmy the Cannon adds: The Punt Kick is VERY useful for this - if you nail a
fully-charged punt kick off the rooftop you start on, it sends the car very,
very far. It's probably not best to rely solely on this, though, as it doesn't
go nearly as far when you start hitting buildings.

Hulk Smash City!- Smash as much stuff as you can within the time limit. The
more objects you smash, the bigger your score. Use your momentum to destroy
things here- go after trees, vehicles, and lampposts. Pick up objects and throw
them at other objects. Totally destroy every object you can for the most
points. Note- this is the one combat challenge where I don't recommend you
weaponize. It doesn't give you any points to destroy an object by doing so. So
you're better off just using your fists. Or if you want, grab a club for extra
damage. Bowling and Wrecking Balls may also be useful. Whatever you do, just
smash, smash, and keep smashing. :)

Smashing Spree: Destroy 8 cars, 4 delivery trucks, 4 water towers, and 12 trees
as quickly as you can. The better your time, the higher your score. Again,
weaponizing cars and trucks will not grant you points for destroying them.
Trees can be found just about anywhere- running into them is the best way to
destroy them. Water towers are on rooftops, jump up there and smack them down.
Cars can be found all over the road, some parked and some moving. Tossing one
into the lake around the city is a quick way to destroy it. The delivery trucks
are the big white box trucks you can also find on the street. They make great
projectiles. Again, smash as much stuff as you can, as quickly as you can.

Soldier Seeker- Defeat as many soldiers as you can within the time limit. It
only takes one smack to kill a soldier, so you should clean up here. Just
target and hit all you can. Try grabbing one and throwing him into another for
double your points.

Air Superiority- Fight off some Falcon Strike Fighters while staying on the
marked rooftop. The more you can destroy, the better your score. If you leave
the rooftop, the challenge ends. Missile Punchback and Catching are required
for success here, though I guess you can also swat the Falcons when they get
close.

Downtown Dogfight- Comanches and Falcons are after you. Destroy as many as you
can within the time limit- the more you wreck, the better your score. Missile
Catching, Air Combos, and Cyclone Skyjack are the key moves here. Target
Kicking and throwing objects at the aircraft helps also. The city gives you a
lot of surfaces to jump off of, so use them. Maneuver a lot, you have the
ability to do so and you should! Also concentrate on the aircraft that are
closest to you, they have less time to react and dodge. Hulk Owns The Sky!

Lights Out- Destroy as many spotlights as you can within the time limit. Look
for these by searching the rooftops, always heading towards the beams. Keep up
on the move, and keep your eyes open.

Point Defense- Another destroy-stuff mission, this time the target is Abrams
tanks. Forcefields block the ends of the bridge off from your passage, so you
must stay on the bridge to fight the tanks while smashing them. Shockwaves,
charged moves, and Ground Slams work well against tanks initially, but you want
to grab a severed tank turret for use as a club or make a shield from a tank's
smashed-up body as soon as possible for maximum damage potential. Hammer Toss
is also an excellent technique to use. If you need health, break open the
ambulance. Smash as many tanks as you can within the time limit to succeed.

My Car!- This is another race to collect all the blue markers in order as
quickly as possible. However you must do it without touching a single white
luxury car. Said cars are all around the streets too, many of them near the
markers. Move carefully, yet quickly. Good luck.
Jimmy the Cannon adds: Not only can you not touch the cars, apparently you can't
knock anything into them, either. That will end the mission, too.

Hulk Juggle- Smack the falling soldier as many times as possible before he hits
the ground. The more he bounces, the better you score. You have a whole three
minutes to do this in, so keep practicing. Try not to charge your slaps, you
want the soldier to take less damage so he doesn't die and disappear. The
higher your best score, the more Smash Points you get at the end of this.

Fare Play- Hulk Taxi! Pick up a taxicab and rush it to its destination as
quickly as you can. Drop it off, grab another cab, repeat. The more cabs you
can deliver before time runs out, the better your score. As in most games like
this, picking up a taxi and/or dropping it off gives you a few bonus seconds.
Running Grab is an essential move for picking up taxis in this challenge, and
once you have them jumping and Air Dashing offer the best travel methods for
distance and speed. One more thing- try not to damage the cabs you pick up.
That will lower your score. However, you can damage other taxis if you want-
rivalry between taxi companies is as bad in this city as it is in any taxi
video game city. <grins>
Jimmy the Cannon adds: You can pick up an already-damaged taxi without losing
the mission, so don't worry if you accidentally knock it around before grabbing
it. However, if you smash the taxi (say, by accidentally hitting an attack
button while holding it), mission's over.

Casualty- Hulk Paramedic. You have an ambulance which you must carry to the
hospital as quickly as you can without damaging it. Again, use Running Grab to
pick up the ambulance and then leap and Air Dash your way to the destination
point. Once there, set the ambulance down. The quicker your arrival, the better
your score.

To The Rescue- The ultimate in Hulk-do-gooder missions. A building is burning
down and several people are trapped on the roof and the ledge immediately below
the roof. Hulk must jump up there, grab these people, and then jump back down
and set them beside the waiting ambulances. The more people you can save within
the time limit, the better your score. Jumping mastery is key here, though Wall
Running can also help you get up the building quickly. Remember that you must
use the special attack button to carefully set down a person you've picked up
within the ambulances' recieving areas- if you throw them down they do not
count towards your score. Don't worry about the fire on the building, it will
obscure Hulk's vision but it won't damage him. Work quickly, and save all the
people you can. I'm not sure of the total number of folks to rescue.
Jimmy the Cannon adds: 8 civilians rescued for Bronze, 10 for Silver. Haven't
gotten Gold yet.

Badlands Challenges:

Fast Mover 7- A Hulk Race in the Badlands. Collect all the markers in order as
quickly as possible. Again, jumping and wall-running are the best ways to move
fast. Keep your eyes open as you go for blue balls and red balls. Go, Hulk, Go!
:)

Hulk Smash Badlands!- Like Hulk Smash City, only in the Badlands. Same tips
apply here- go after vehicles, lampposts, and trees and totally destroy
everything you hit. Try to stay in the town area, it offers the most targets.
Oil pumps and rock pillars are available outside the town. You can not destroy
cows no matter what you do, so don't waste time on them. Have fun!

Puny Humans!- Like Soldier Seeker, only you must stay within the area marked by
flares while swatting soldiers. If you leave the area, the challenge ends.
Again, it only takes one hit to kill a soldier, so you should clean up here
easily. The best way to dodge missiles and stay within the flares is by jumping
up and down (coming down with a Ground Smash or Air Stomp move will decimate
your foes).
Jimmy the Cannon adds: Obviously, area attacks work GREAT if you find yourself
in a group of humans, and the Shockwave Smash ranged attack works well for
hitting soldiers before they even enter the ring of flares.

Gamma Golf- Urban Golf in the Badlands. Hit the ball to the flag with your club
in as few swings as possible. Try to keep it under par. :)

Blonsky Don't Surf- Shield Grinding in the Badlands. Collect as many blue balls
as you can within the time limit. Surf's Up, Dude!

Hulk Soccer- Try to smack the ball into the tunnel as many times as you can
before time runs out. Beware the Combat Warden Hulkbuster who acts as goalie-
he will try to block your shots and whenever you kill him, another is quick to
appear. More balls will appear as you knock the ball into the tunnel too (you
are not allowed to carry a ball into the tunnel unfortunately). Good luck.

Desert Dogfight- Destroy as many Comanches and Falcons as you can within the
time limit. Air Combos, Missile Catching, and Cyclone Skyjack help you once
again. The area is more open here, so you have more room to maneuver and dodge
missiles. Good luck and have fun.

Long Bomb- Destroy Comanches with Missile Catch and Missile Punchback moves
while staying inside the ring of flares. The more you destroy in the time
limit, the better your score. Master your Missile Return moves to win this one.

Unfriendly Fire- The hardest destroy-stuff challenge. You need to take out as
many soldiers as you can within the time limit using the soldiers' own
missiles. Dodge the explosion as quickly as you can and try to set things up so
other soldiers are caught in the blast. Good luck with this one, I have yet to
complete it myself. <sighs>
Jimmy the Cannon adds: One word - SHIELD. Once the first tank is destroyed, make
a shield of it and use that to protect yourself while standing near tanks so
that the enemy blows them up. Also, I think using Missle Punchback counts, too,
but I'm not very good at it.

Wide Right- You must use the Punt Kick combo to knock a car through some
goalposts, staying behind a line of flares. Make as many goals as you can
within the time limit. The more you make, the better your score. Master the
Punt Kick before trying this challenge.
Jimmy the Cannon adds: The name of the mission can be misleading - the Punt Kick
tends to lean towards the left.

Gamma Field Goal- Like Wide Right, only now the goalposts are moving. Again,
master your Punt Kicks and your timing if you want to succeed.

I have not gotten gold on all challenges. I understand there's a person or two
on the GameFAQs message board who has. If my tips did not help you, seek these
people out. They might. Note- there is no reward for completing challenges
other than smash points and fun. So enjoy.

6. Story Missions.
The game is divided into several chapters interspersed with cinematic
cutscenes. Completing each mission will progress you further in the story and
possibly unlock new challenges and Blonsky Files as well as give you smash
points. Completing each chapter unlocks new moves in the Buy Menu. I will cover
the story missions in the order they are given to you. Note- each mission is
represented on the screen by a green star.

*************************************
Prologue Part 1: Training Simulator.
*************************************
If you watched the demo scenes when you turned on the game, you should be eager
for the wild ride that is ahead. It will not disappoint, trust me. So let's get
started.

The game opens with an FMV introducing you to the Hulk, aka Dr. Bruce Banner.
Catchy way to set the mood for the story, no? You then find yourself in a
training simulation that General Ross is using to get his soldiers (and you)
familiar with the Hulk's capabilities. You will play as the Hulk here and your
objective is to follow the instructions provided by Division Director Emil
Blonsky. If you can't hear him speak, turn on captions to see them displayed on
screen. First of all, you will learn to move around and that the mere act of
running into things can seriously damage them. After you're through knocking
some objects about, you will learn that the Hulk can pick up just about
anything. And this is true- to a point. Try picking up and throwing some of the
wrecked cars and boulders around you to get used to this, you'll be doing it a
lot. Note- the stacks of oil drums can not be picked up, but they do create a
nice explosion when you run or throw stuff into them. Remember these barrels
for future missions.

Next you will learn about jumping. Jumping is the fastest way Hulk can move
around, and should be mastered quickly. After your first jump, three
machine-gun-toting Soldiers enter the area. Now it's time to learn how to beat
up the enemy troops. Ross has been telling them how formidable you are, so
let's not disappoint him, hmm? The Hulk cannot be hurt in this training
simulator, but it's still a good idea to practice dodging enemy attacks.
Jumping and moving around is the best way to do that. It only takes one punch
to kill each soldier, so hit them fast, hard, and repeatedly. It's the best way
to triumph in this game. You will also learn how to do a three punch combo,
remember this move. Look for more combos by experimenting with the basic attack
button. Blonsky will next tell you about the special attack button. Experiment
with this button too and look at all the things you can do with it- knee smash,
uppercut, sonic clap, etc. Pay attention to Blonsky's advice about holding down
the button to charge the attack and do more damage- this will be very useful.

You now have three orange stars revealed in the area before you. Each is a
training exercise to get you more used to the Hulk's capabilities. Check out
the Map in your Pause Menu if you need their precise locations. Soldiers are
still around, but they can't hurt you, so just keep beating them up on your way
to the first exercise. These can be completed in any order, and you should do
them all. On your way to the first, go ahead and experiment more with your
attacks. Try picking up an object and attacking with it. Slamming a big object
down on several Soldiers at once is a good way to get groups of foes off your
back. You can also throw any object you can pick up for heavy damage. Try
jumping up and coming down on a Soldier with an attack too- this will increase
its power and send the Soldier flying. Note that there are also more objects to
interact with in the area. Those fuel tanks can be picked up and explode when
you throw them- a good way to create fireworks. The watch towers can be
destroyed and so can the oil pumps. Smashing the latter will create clubs you
can use to punish your foes even more. You can get a bigger two-handed club by
knocking down the antennas and using them. A club of this size can smack
several Soldiers at once! The truck trailers and cabs make great large
projectiles, as do the cranes. The cows also make great projectiles- they are
invulnerable so pick them up and use them as often as you like. Note that you
may have to knock one down with attacks to catch it, they will run around
frantically when you get close. Jump into the air and charge your throws for
better range, accuracy, and damage. If you feel like destroying a big object,
