Why We Rated This on for Ages 12 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The Hulk represents the violent tendencies that live inside every human. Indulging in "ultimate destruction" means indulging that beast.
  • Violence :

    Rampant destruction of cars, buildings, people, tanks, fast food restaurants, you name it. But the violence against humans is bloodless and does not factor much into the game.
  • Sex:

    A svelte female opponent is as close as this game comes to sexy.
  • Language:

    Soldiers use slight profanity.
  • Consumerism:

    The Hulk is a merchandising franchise, and players earn and find Hulk comics. There is also a gallery to view vintage Hulk comics.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction

Parents need to know that the subtext of this series revolves around releasing repressed rage and the desire that normally reserved, rational people have to solve their problems with physical violence. The Hulk destroys everything in his path, tossing cars, battling helicopters, and swinging a club in a gruesome game of human "baseball."

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why such widespread, wanton destruction is fun. Is there a sense of satisfaction that comes with such unfettered destructive power? Are games like this cathartic or do they glorify the worst of human nature? Why has this character been successful for so long (Hulk is more than 40 years old)? Why is the Hulk a sympathetic character if all he does is smash stuff?
