  1. With its stunning graphics and terrific story line, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is definitely one of the more pleasant surprises of the year.
  2. Give Raven kudos for staying true to the character and producing a highly visceral gaming experience.
  3. Despite these flaws, Wolverine is an interesting experience, a PC version of a multiplatform game developed with a sense of responsibility – which in itself is a rarity – and I warmly recommend it to any and all Wolverine fans who were disappointed by the movie (is there any other kind?).
  4. Every remark, battle cry and slash looks, sounds, and feels authentic to these characters, especially Wolverine and Sabertooth. This game will definitely put you in the spandex of your favorite spandex slasher, which by the way is not the manliest of looks.

  1. the best wolverine video game to date. this game is the rated-R version of the movie. the developer took a page from the God of War games and highlighted Wolverine's ferocious and always bloody finishing moves. When playing this game I felt like I was Wolverine and the developers did a great job in portraying the character on -screen. They even have Hugh Jackman do the voice-acting.

    I loved how they displayed Wolverine regeneration ability, on the character model.

    Although as fun as the game was the game's AI was incredible easy. After a few hours of playing, the enemies took very simple strategies to kill; especially the end-boss fight ...

    I would recommend this game to any Wolverine fans. Much more enjoyable than the movie counterpart. 7/10

  2. It's the best comic/movie game before Batman: Arkham Asylum. It's bloodier than movie, more intensive than movie and it let you be the real destructoid superhero. Do you need better recomendation? Expand
