The Incredible Hulk is a side-scrolling action game with platforming and beat 'em up elements. The player controls the Hulk, who is tasked with searching for the Leader while defeating his troops. The Hulk is capable of a variety of offensive techniques, and has four states of being that influence the moves at his disposal: "Hulk", "Super-Hulk", "Hulk-Out", and his human alter-ego Bruce Banner. The Hulk's state is determined by his amount of "Gamma", which doubles as his health. The Hulk begins the game in Super-Hulk mode; sustaining enemy attacks reduces his Gamma, and he will be reduced to a regular Hulk mode if his Gamma drops below 40%. Falling below 5% Gamma will transform the Hulk into Banner, whose only means of offense is a gun with two shots, and who cannot sustain any enemy attacks without dying.
