  1. A movie-based game that is well done and relatively problem free? X-Men Origins: Wolverine is definitely one of the more pleasant surprises of the year.
  2. There's seldom a dull moment in this game, and when one arises it's intentional. Raven completely outdid themselves with this game, delivering one of the best Marvel games yet to ship.
  3. At the end of the day, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a very good game that features action, adventure and fighting all under the auspice of Wolverine.
  4. There’s enough violence in X-Men Origins: Wolverine to please comic book fans.

    So much fun! A great hack 'n' slash game. There's a little bit of thinking in it, but mostly, you get to be Wolverine! If you like Wolverine, you have to try this! Expand
  2. Could not be more happy with this game. A lot more fun than I was expecting. Combat, graphics, achievements, all just excellent indeed. I enjoyed it more than i did the movie. Expand
  3. This game is a mindless beat em' up at its best. There's plenty of action and blood to keep anyone entertained, and the game as a whole is a satisfying package. Although it's not a triple A blockbuster, it is fun for a play-through. Expand

    Extremely disappointing to say the least. It starts out all right with a good combat system, but quickly becomes boring after you fight the same generic enemies in the same generic setting. Worst of all, the bosses and sub bosses are just awful repetitive messes that are devoid of fun.No God of War, no matter how much they rip it off. Expand
