2. MISSION P-1: INTRODUCTION
======================================================================
Ok, I'm not entirely sure what the titles of the various missions are,
so I'm just going to put in titles that are found on the saved files,
or at least sound matching to the nature of the missions. Please note.
The game begins ar Branson Military Range, present day. This is an
introductory level that teaches you the various controls that you can
use for Hulk.
In this mission, you basically follow what the message on the screen
tells you to. A voice-over will explain the moves, and you only have
to do what he says to proceed. Start by moving your analog stick to
move Hulk around.
NOTE: When you successfully execute a move that is mentioned, the
word "SUCCESS!" will pops up on the screen. You can't proceed to the
next move if you don't do the current one successfully.
Press R1 + left analog stick to run. "SUCCESS!"
Next, go towards any large object, and press circle to lift it up.
"SUCCESS!"
Throw the object by pressing circle again. "SUCCESS!"
Now, press X to jump. "SUCCESS!"
Next, press square to activate a basic punch attack. "SUCCESS!"
Followed by square three times consecutively for a 3-Punch Combo.
"SUCCESS!:
Ok, I'll stop the irritating "SUCCESS!" note as of now, but you get
the picture.
Next, press triangle to do a special attack ("HAMMER!"), then press
triangle three times to execute a special attack combo, which consists
of stuff like Uppercut and Knee Smash.
The next combo consists of alternating between square and triangle.
This performs a 2-Hit Combo.
Enough of punching around for now though, as the HUD will now appear
on the screen at the bottom left corner. This is basically your
GTA-style mapping system, where objectives markers are shown, with the
green icon at the centre being Hulk (that is, you). If you need to go
to any objective marker, simply toggle your right analog stick to
align your direction to the marker, then go forward. I trust that you
should figure this out yourself anyhow.
A cut-scene will follow, showing you three yellow stars that are
scattered all around the range. They're all marked on your map too,
so you can find them easily. These yellow stars at basically training
exercises that teach you more about the abilities of Hulk. You must
complete at least one exercise to proceed to the next mission, but
hey, they're so easy, you might as well do them, right?
Depending on which star you approach, your sequence of exercises may
not be the same as what I write below. However, the contents are, so
just refer to the respective exercise title if you need help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. Training Exercise 1: Charged Jumping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This exercise will teach you about Hulk's amazing jumping abilities.
A series of markers will above one after another, and they're too
tall for you to reach using the normal x-jump method. Instead, the
game will tell you to press and hold X, before pressing X again to
do a charged jump. This jump allows you to jump to extraordinary
heights.
NOTE: When holding X, wait until a green sparkle appear on the body
of Hulk before pressing X again to charged jump.
Collect all markers to end this exercise. A cut-scene will show a
comic book icon. This will also appear on your map. This is your
reward for completing specific objectives during the game.
NOTE: Comic books unlock features like cheats, smash points rewards
(more about this later) and special contents. There are a total of 60
comic books that you can find during the course of the game. For
locations of all comics, please check the Comics Locations List of
this document.
Walk towards the comic book icon to pick it up. Comic book 1/60
unlocks an item in the Art Gallery. You can access it under the
EXTRAS menu.
A cut-scene will show again, this time showing you one more comic
book icon just in front of a tunnel. Don't go there first, since this
tunnel leads to the end of the mission. Instead, proceed to the next
exercises to unlock more goodies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. Training Exercise 2: Targeting and Throwing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Helicopters are flying around the base. You will need to destroy them
by throwing things at them. Pick up a large object (eg. a car), then
press L1 to target it. Once it's targeted, quickly press circle to
throw the object towards the helicopter. If done properly, the
helicopter will explode.
The next movement is a charged throw. If you hold circle when you're
targeting a helicopter, you can press circle again after that to
throw the object to a further distance.
Do the targeting and throwing for a few times until the game tells you
to use your right analog stick to switch target. Do so.
You will then be asked to destroy 3 helicopters using the target and
throwing method. Do so to end this exercise.
NOTE: Targeting and throwing are key combat abilities. Use targeting
to single out enemies, and combine it with throwing to engage oppoents
at long range.
You will unlock comic book 2/60, which in turn unlocks an item in the
Environment Gallery.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c. Training Exercise 2: Wall running and Climbing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hulk can climb and run up walls. To climb walls, walk close to any
wall, then press circle to climb. Approach the objective marker and
climn that wall. When you're in "climbing mode", move your analog
stick to move around on the wall. Do so to collect all the markers on
the wall.
Next, running up walls. To do so, just run into the wall with R1 +
left analog stick. You will automatically run up the wall. Approach
the next objective marker and collect all the markers on this wall by
running over them.
NOTE: Wall running and climbing go hand in hand with running and
jumping. Use these abilities together and Hulk will be pretty
unstoppable.
You will next learn the concept of WEAPONIZATION, which is the art of
turning items around you into offensive weapons. from the same wall
that you just ran, run up the the roof top to find some missile packs
lying around. Press triangle to weaponize a missile pack, then press
L1 to target a helicopter. Press circle to hurl the missile pack to
the helicoptet. If successfully done, the helicopter will explode.
Destroy 3 helicopters.
NOTE: This exercise exhibits Hulk's ability to apply his strength to
create new, powerful weapons. As you unlock more weaponization, you
must use smash points to "buy them".
You will unlock comic book 3/60. This one unlocks a cheat code!
The code is OCANADA. Use this to unlock Canadian Flag Shorts for Hulk.
For completing all exercises and the mission, you will also unlock
STEEL FIST as a weaponization. This is an awesome attack. Most small
vehicles can be used as a steel fist. Pick one small vehicle up and
press triangle to see how steel fists are created... cool! This is a
form of improved attack for Hulk to dish out harder damages to his
foes. Hulk smash!
When you're done with testing the steel fists, press circle to throw
them away. Now, you can go towards the tunnel where comic book icon
was revealed earlier. Pick up comic book 4/60, which unlocks an item
in the Movie Gallery.
Walk through the tunnel to save your game.
