4. MISSION 1-1: HULK IN THE CITY
======================================================================
After the story recap and a cut-scene, Hulk will appear in an opened
field. Use the jump marker right in front. This will bring up a JUMP
MARKER MAP. On this map, you can select a destination to jump to. As
you find more jump markers in future, they will appear on this map and
will serve as a quick transport method to other areas. If you've
played Nintendo's series of The Legend of Zelda, you may find this
concept similar to the "Warp Points" in these games.
Anyhow, you only have Tibodt Grand Hotel to jump to, so jump there.
You will find yourself on a roof with a jump marker. Near the marker
is a green ? sign. This is a "Hint" icon, which will provide you with
hints about the game. As with the comic book icons, I won't be going
into details about the locations of these hints. Check out

for YuGiOhFm2002's & YuGiOhAngel's Hint Location Guide if you're
hell bent on finding all of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. Defeat the Police resistance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your objective should now be updated: "Defeat the Police resistance."
It's clobbering time... oh wait, that's the Thing's line. Anyhow,
jump down to ground level and start approaching the areas where red
dots are marked on your map. Kill all policemen who appear in sight.
Don't worry about getting hit, since each one you kill will leave
behind power-ups.
RECOMMENDATION: I find that pressing triangle to "HAMMER!" these guys
is quite a fun thing to do.
Once you've killed enough policemen, you will be informed that the
objective is met. You will now need to acquire a new mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
b. Acquire a new mission
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The new mission will be marked on your map by a green star icon.
Approach the area while smashing stuff on the way to earn some smash
points. Once you decide to proceed, approach the green star and press
X to begin the mission, which is "Lightning Strike".
NOTE: I forgot to mention this earlier, but when Hulk's power reaches
maximum, he will reach CRITICAL MASS mode, making his attacks
substantially more damanging. Some new moves that you can buy as you
progress can be executed only when Hulk is in critical mass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c. Lightning Strike
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hulk's doctor, Leonard Samson, needs more power for his lab. You will
need to help him to destroy three existing substations that are marked
on your map. They've creatively named Substation A, B and C. The aim
of destroying them is so that the city will be forced to re-route power
through sources that Samson can access. Hmm, is Samson really a
doctor?
The substations are shown on your map as red X's. As you approach
them, a short scene will play to remind Hulk about his mission:
"Smash... destroy..." (something like that).
NOTE: In future, short scenes like this will happen very often. I
think they're quite corny.
Approach the area with the red X's to find the substations, then
destroy them. Shouldn't be too difficult. I won't say this again, but
you should smask some stuff along the way to earn smash points.
NOTE: Substations are protected by electrical fences. To remove them,
simply lift an object and throw it at the fences.
You should be able to save your game after the cut-scene. But, there's
something else to do here...
En route to destroying the substations, you may come across a star on
the ground which is transparent. Don't worry if you didn't though,
since you can't do anything with them. Not until now. After you
complete Lightning Strike, you will unlock a CHALLENGE MISSION.
Challenge missions are not compulsory, but doing them will earn you
extra smash points.
The challenge mission unlocked in this case is FAST-MOVE 6. Notice the
transparent star has now became yellow. To do this mission, simply step
into the yellow star and press X. Fast-move missions requires you to
move from markers to markers at the shortest period of time possible. I
see. A checkpoint racing side mission, this is.
NOTE: I was just exploring this side mission and I scored a miserable
53 seconds and earn a measly 50 smash points. I'm sure you can do
better!
NOTE (again): I'll try to list all side missions at the end of this
document.
