Players must guide the Hulk through six destructible worlds including military compounds, barren deserts, subterranean cities, underground caves, and earth's distant future. Thirty-three intense levels of gameplay challenge players to defeat infamous villains from the original Hulk comics.

"Vivendi Universal Games is confident that Pocket Studios will successfully provide the excitement of The Incredible Hulk legacy while pushing the envelope on gameplay mechanics," said Luc Vanhal, North American President & COO of Vivendi Universal Games. "Vivendi Universal Games is dedicated to delivering the essential aspects of Hulk to his fans in the form of interactive handheld entertainment."

"The Incredible Hulk license presented a terrific new challenge for Pocket Studios, driving the team to exploit the capabilities/push the limits of the GBA in order to create enjoyable gameplay that authentically recreates the Hulk's abilities," said David Williams, development director at Pocket Studios. "The animation system and destructible scenery technology we created really helps bring the Hulk alive within the game, allowing players to freely roam multiple objective environments destroying scenery and objects in their path."
