Customer Reviews

Bloody, Brutal, X-ellent
Ever get tired of trying your best conserve your ammo? Of trying your best tactics to get around those annoyingly hard enemies? Ever just want to run into a bunch of guys and make a nice bloody mess as your fingers get sore with button mashing?

Yeah? Well this is the game for you.

Based on the kid-friendly movie, this game takes you beyond it and sucks you into a violent and brutal world in the truest Wolverine game ever made. Think 'God of War' with adamantium claws. Yeah, I'm not going to lie, it can get pretty repeptative, but so do all third person punch ups, right? What to do: think of someone you really dislike, your neighbour, boss whatever. Turn on the game and pretent that every enemy you encounter is them in pixal form. You'll have a blast! :)

Wolverine. One of the best Moviegame ever
This is perhaps the best Moviegame ever. It catch the Atmosphere of the Movie succesfull and the Difficulty is for everybody the right one. The Combos are good Scene set in. So the Game gets from me 90%.

Actioned packed and plenty of ketchup
Firstly, this is no shoddy movie tie-in, rushed into production at the 11th hour to coincide with the permiere. Raven have obviously been developing this in advance and the quality shows.

The developers have based the game style heavily on God of War. This is certainly no bad thing, Kratos and Wolverine are not a million miles apart in nature. The action is frantic and brutal, easily trumping God of War in the claret stakes. Arms, legs and heads come flying off in the heat of battle. The controls are deceptively simple with just a single button for melee attack and another for a throw, but this is compensated by the lunge attack, special power attacks and the ability to use background objects to eliminate your enemies swiftly by impaling then on a spike, throwing them into a giant fan or simply skewering them on the raised forks of a warehouse truck. Throw in Wolverine's ability to deflect projectiles with his claws and counter melee attacks and there is more than enough in the combat to keep it from becoming repetitive.

In terms of story, it follows the key scenes from the movie without becoming too tied to the storyline. All the key boss fights from the movie are reproduced in grand style (the Deadpool fight is real bruiser) with most of the movie cast reprising their roles. Throw in a few sentinels, some Wendingos and you will have as much trouble as you can handle. The level design is excellent and the momentum is relentless. The difficulty is nicely balanced, constantly upping the ante without smothering the player - Wolverine's ability to regenerate allows you time to find a winning strategy against particular foes during the battle. There is some puzzle solving and a minutae of stealth but this game never deviates too far from its main selling point which is as frenetic slasher. The combat is hugely satisfying, extremely brutal and quite empowering.

The graphics are nice too, maybe not quite as slick as Batman Arkham Aslyum but not far off. A character upgrade is also included allowing experience points to be spent upgrading combat abilities. And, yes, you can fit Wolverine out in his original yellow costume.

All in all this is a great title, easily the best movie tie-in. It's a big game with plenty of staying power and just the ticket if you're looking for a accessible, savage tear up. Not for young kids.
