[Full playthrough available on my YouTube channel: @TheBarrylad]
At the core of Ultimate Destruction is a fun-first approach to playing as the Hulk. You can leap over tall buildings, toss tiny human enemies across the desert, make baseball bats out of telephone poles, skateboard on buses and more. The enemies are varied, the list of moves available is surprisingly deep -- and includes a piledriver!
But once you go beyond that initial appeal (and this was sick demo back in the day, if I recall correctly) there's some insanely frustrating mission design which involves throwing as many enemies at you as the humble PS2 can handle. It turns the screen into unreadable mulch and gets more chaotic than a high-level Vampire Survivors effort.
That doesn't sour the experience too much, thankfully - as this is still the most satisfying Hulk gameplay ever committed to a disc.
