The Incredible Hulk is out this week. It takes place in New York City. Not Liberty City, not Gotham, not Metropolis. But actual New York City. I know this for a fact because I've been running around seeing how much of New York City I can break. Here are my findings:
Pretty much all of it.
You can destroy Trump Tower, Radio City Music Hall, and Lincoln Center. You can bring down the Met Life Building and the Empire State Building. You can even go to the offices of Marvel Comics and smash the walls until it neatly collapses in on itself. You cannot, however, destroy St. Patrick's Cathedral. As The Incredible Hulk, you can pound on it and pound on it. It will not budge.
I tried. I threw a bus and a cement truck at it. I tried my Hulk Clap and Hulk Smash and Hulk Stomp and various other combinations of the d-pad and buttons. I Hulk Dashed straight into it. I threatened to throw an innocent civilian at it every five minutes until it relented. And I wasn't bluffing. As innocent civilian after innocent civilian rag-dolled against the walls, St. Patrick's Cathedral did not fall.
Which pretty much answers the question of who would win in a fight between God and the Hulk.
UPDATE: So it turns out that you can bring down St. Patrick's Cathedral after all. I found out I was hitting it in the wrong place. But fighting St. Patrick's Cathedral is kind of like a boss fight. You just have to figure out the weak point to hit for massive damage, and then it'll come right down. Take that, God!

Try him against a mosque. If you can knock that down, then expect a jihad against the developers.

To quote the immortal Dr. Peter Venkman:

WOW. Sounds like a ton of fun. Guess I'll have to pull myself away from Liberty City to play this.
To answer your question, I think a God Punch would be the only thing that could take down the Hulk for good. But that's a big *maybe*.

This article on the HULK was hilarious. I may buy the game just because of this article. Thanks for the laughs.

Neat game. Ultimate Destruction is a better interface.
Hoping for a sequal to the movie.
God is a building?
