How Metascores Are Calculated
|
Decades ago, a secret orgainzation brainwashed you and implanted a virtually unbreakable adamantium skeleton into your body. Now, as Wolverine - the X-Men's most dangerous weapon - you've discovered you were also implanted with a deadly virus that will kill you within the next 48 hours unless the antidote is found. Your future at risk, you must return to confront your past in an adventure that will take you back to the place you dread most of all - Alkali Lake. Time is running out. [Activision]

If you like to look at other people who wear tight, tight and revealing (Did I say tight yet?) uniforms, then this game is for you because it is tightly revealing!

While most of Revenge’s game play involves turning bad guys into kebab, the game’s strict homage to the comic gives it more depth.

If I had a chance to play this during the years I was a complete Wolverine fanatic I would have passed out from pleasure overload. No kidding... This is the one of the finest comic book games to date.

WR works as a button-masher and at a deeper level, too, if you take the time to understand how the Strike moves work. [June 2003, p.135]

Cincinnati Enquirer
Controlling Wolverine during combat can prove difficult, especially when there are multiple enemies onscreen simultaneously.

Electric Playground
Fans of Wolverine will love the story, which delves heavily into the character's history with references to Department H and Weapon X aplenty.

GameZone
Not even close to matching the experience of the X-Men movies, the comic book, or even the classic X-Men game released for the Genesis.
66
Gamer's Pulse
The solid storyline and terrific voice acting hold up the considerably difficult gameplay. The often repetitive and overly simplistic combat system is spelled by some decent stealth elements and a few slick features.
66
IGN
Succeeds with a story and style that fits Wolvie perfectly. But the gameplay has far too many holes and the sound and graphics are nothing special.
65
Nintendophiles
Just be warned that it can get very frustrating.

Armchair Empire
Manages to be an average action game but a great translation of Wolverine in his first starring game on this generation of consoles. For that alone it’s probably worth a look.
65
GameCube Europe
Suffers from little mistakes, bad camera, sloppy AI, dated graphics.
63
Game Over Online
A disappointment. Though the gameplay is okay, it's nothing special, and despite the awesome license this game possesses, it’s sure to grate on anyone after a few hours.
62
GameSpy
It's not so much that the enemies are hard to kill, or that the simplistic level design inflicts any brain-bending puzzles, but more that the inherent trial-and-error style progression through the levels gets tedious to the point of removing all the fun from playing.

Game Informer
Where X2 really makes its rushed development cycle known is the camera, collision, and enemy AI. [June 2003, p.109]

GameSpot
The fundamentals of Wolverine's Revenge are solid, but just about everything seems to fall apart in the execution.

Nintendojo
The boss battles are downright silly.

Play Magazine
There are some good ideas here, but the lack of detail, soft collision (Wolvie sinks ankle-high into any raised surface), murky control and low poly counts make Logan a dull boy. [June 2003, p.58]

Entertainment Weekly
The pacing is sluggish, the gameplay irritating, and ultimately it feels like Wolverine is exacting revenge on the wrong person: the player. [2 May 2003, p.79]

G4 TV
Constant camera-fixing is still a big problem, however. Add to that the uninspired gameplay, and it's just not enough that the game looks good.

Game Revolution
There's no way I could recommend buying this wallet draining mutant. While the heart of the character is here, the brain is not.
