LOS ANGELES, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivendi Universal Games announced today that Kent, England-based Pocket Studios is developing the handheld video game The Incredible Hulk for Nintendo Game Boy® Advance. The video game is based on the enormously popular original Marvel classic comic book series The Incredible Hulk(TM).
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.

"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."
