Radical Entertainment . A signature feature is the star of the film,Eric Bana , who reprises his role ofBruce Banner .Plot
The game begins in a dream sequence, where a man,
Bruce Banner , transforms into a large and powerful monster, dubbed theHulk , and destroys waves of soldiers and tanks sent by the military to destroy him. Upon awakening,Bruce Banner is contacted by his old mentor, Dr. Crawford, who explains that he has developed a cure for theHulk called the Gamma Orb, but military troops (led by the corrupt General Ryker) have raided the lab.Bruce Banner sneaks into the lab, and discovers that General Ryker wants to obtain the Gamma Orb. After reaching Dr. Crawford, Bruce allows his old mentor to use the Gamma Orb on him, but Crawford uses it to seal theHulk 's energy. Crawford touches the Orb and absorbs a part of Bruce Banner's power, transforming himself into aHulk -like creature, Ravage. Simultaneously, Bruce Banner transforms into theHulk .After a lengthy chase of Ravage over rooftops and through sewers, with Ryker's forces in hot pursuit,
Hulk finds himself at a dead end where he is ambushed by the vampire, Half-Life.Hulk defeats Half-Life, who explains that Ravage has taken the orb toAlcatraz but will kill a hostage there if theHulk is detected.Bruce infiltrates
Alcatraz , which has been secretly occupied by the mysterious Leader and his private army. Bruce deactivates the Gamma detection device using a security terminal, which shows live footage of a Gamma chamber used to mutate the Leader’s henchmen into Gamma-irradiated super soldiers. It also shows the Madman taking the hostage,Betty Ross , to the irradiation chamber, after being ordered by a mysterious voice to "dispose" of her when she refuses to further aid them in their schemes.Seeing Betty in distress causes Bruce to transform into the Hulk, decimating the research facilities and defeating Madman after disabling the irradiation chamber. Betty tells the Hulk that she has been exposed to the Gamma radiation and must be taken to the military Gamma base.
The Hulk takes Betty to the base, but is incapacitated by a force field. Bruce is sedated and strapped to an operating table where General Ryker plans on dissecting him. Betty frees Bruce, who (disguised as a soldier) formulates an antidote, transforming into the Hulk and fighting the military while trying to find and destroy the shield genarator. Hulk finds the generator, but is confronted by Flux, a Hulk-like soldier. The Hulk defeats Flux and throws him into the generator, destroying it.
Hulk escapes and returns to Alcatraz. After fighting through the Leader's forces as Hulk and Bruce Banner, Hulk finally confronts Ravage, who was guarding Leader's teleport device. Ravage is defeated and returns to the form of Dr. Crawford. Crawford informs Bruce that the Gamma Orb is at Leader's control center (called New Freehold), and Bruce teleports to it. After being ambushed by Half-Life and Madman, Bruce once again transforms into the Hulk and confronts them. Madman escapes at the middle of the fight, leaving Half-life to battle Hulk alone. After beating Half-Life, the Hulk finally confronts the Leader.
The Leader uses the orb to cure the Hulk, but in order to save humanity from the Leader's Gamma army, Bruce sacrifices his own, and after touching the Orb he unleashes the Hulk, who beats the Leader despite his powerful psychic attacks. As New Freehold begins to collapse, the Leader escapes by teleporting himself. The Hulk manages to reach the teleport chamber, but he encounters one final fight with Madman. After defeating Madman, the Hulk teleports himself and escapes.
The ending shows Dr. Crawford trying (and failing) to create another Gamma Orb, General Ryker experimenting on Flux, and Bruce Banner walking alongside a highway attempting to hitch a ride home. Banner's shadow was that of the Hulk.
