The somewhat open-ended design lets players do that too. Once the missions to advance the story are complete, you're free to do as you please, or accept side missions to earn experience for new moves. The more you destroy the better. The epic soundtrack never becomes an issue, even if you plan of spending hours on a rampage.
The smartest thing done in the creation of this title is to finally come to terms with Bruce Banner. No one who picks up an Incredible Hulk video game wants to play as the scrawny non-mutated version of the character. It's what ruined the Hulk game based on the movie a few years back, and everyone involved in the creation of Ultimate Destruction finally decided to ditch the dull sections for all-out brutality.
Some will complain the repetitive nature is the game's downfall. While a legitimate complaint (there are a ton of "destroy everything" missions), this is what the game does best. It's only natural it will offer more of it. In fact, this game could last another eight hours following the same path and it would still barely qualify as a complaint.
While it may not be considered "pure" or "hardcore," Ultimate Destruction becomes everything you should expect from a video game. It's fun no matter how long you play or how repetitive it gets. It's a perfect example of how video games can be crafted from an idea that isn't necessarily original, but can still become one of the sleepers of the year.
