Avengers Initiative

After the last Avengers movie, we all have a new-found affection for Mr. Green Guy. He unleashes such devastation without blinking that you can’t help but worship the dude.

Making the best of it, Marvel Entertainment launched this first chapter of Avengers Initiative, featuring Hulk. Awesome.

The background story is the same as in the first Ghostbusters movie: all bad guys are set loose and your mission is to return them to their prisons.

As the game is formatted for touch devices, you can count with lots of swiping, tapping, and finger combo-ing (real words? Nah, I don’t need real words, I make up my own) and reflexes challenges to get ahead in this game.

The game was designed with HD visuals, so  no complaints in the graphics department.

During the game, you’ll be able to equip your Hulk with items and costumes (no, you can’t dress him as Carmen Miranda. Yes, I looked into it.), and super powers to optimize your destruction capabilities.

Marvel also made the game compatible with their Marvel XP service, a social network of their own, to give you extras, such as unlock achievement badges, character dossiers, and other bonus content exclusive to the Marvel XP community. If you prefer, you can also connect it to Facebook and share your accomplishments with your friends.

This game presents you with the first chapter (let’s call it ‘The Hulk Chapter’), and 3 more are on their way. Soon you’ll be able to play with Thor, Captain America and Iron Man.

Be on the lookout for more developments about this title.
