to decrease loading times. Steve Gould of Page 6, deeming the game "the best Graphic Adventure of any kind that I have seen", commended the size and detail of the visuals as well as the elimination of flickering in comparison to past graphic adventure titles. Derek Brewster of Crash praised the graphics for their rich detail (singling out the transformations between Banner and the Hulk) and fast loading times. Noel Williams of Micro Adventurer acknowledged the graphics as attractive, but considered them to fall short of those of other software companies. He appreciated the illustrations' stylistic accuracy to the comics as well as the close-up images of the game's collectible items. However, he was annoyed that the transformation from the Hulk to Banner slowed the gameplay's pacing. John Jermaine, writing for Run, was pleased by the accuracy of the visuals to the comics and admired the artistry of the backgrounds. Brewster and Tony Hetherington of Computer Gamer singled out the transformations between Banner and the Hulk as their favorite images.

If you're new to this sort of gaming, it will make an excellent entry program into the world of adventure games". Brain J. Murphy of inCider said: "Based on the fun I've had and the fun yet to come, I recommend you take a look at the Hulk episode of Questprobe". The budget re-release's reception was more mixed. Hetherington acknowledged the high difficulty, but proclaimed The Hulk to be the best Questprobe entry due to the character's simple set of powers. The White Wizard, writing
