The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is the second Incredible Hulk game released for the GameCube. Developed by Radical Entertainment, it built on the free-roaming aspect of Simpsons Hit & Run and allowed Hulk to freely explore and destroy both a full sized city and an expansive desert location. A key feature of the game is Hulk's ability to "weaponize" virtually any item in the game. For example, it is possible to rip a car in half and turn it into a pair of gauntlets, surf on top of a city bus, rip the missiles out of a launcher to hurl them at enemies, hammer throw the turret off of a tank, grab a plane out of the sky and beat enemies with it, hurl trees like javelins, and whack humans into the sunset with lamp posts.
