first of all, let's get the bad stuff out of the way (i know you love to hate movie tie-in games). the biggest problem about the game is the perspective. it's set at an isometric view that is completely wrong for a beat-em-up. it becomes incredibly frustrating when you're trying to smash your enemies in the head but the hulk just wont turn the right way ><

another problem with the game is repetitiveness. if you're content with running around levels beating people in the head and smashing through inanimate...
