Re: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Yeah, cool ending, fight, and just well done game. Glad to see there's at least 1 comic book game that doesn't suck.

Hey, Web of Shadows wasn't bad.

Re: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

It is, ain't it? Just looks like your average FMV video. Cool shot though.

Re: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

In one word, the game is Awesome, and my vote for best movie game tie in ever. This is quite easily the best Wolverine based video game to date. Think God of War meets Wolverine and that's the game play. It's fast, it's brutal, and it's bloody. The game play is very fun, the controls are excellent and well tuned. It's definitely a button masher, but blocking is a key mechanic as is lunging (a very kewl addition, that GoW does not have). I played through the game in 2 days and when it was over, I was ready to play it again. It's that much fun. The voice over acting is superb, thought he story line is a little hard to follow at times and the games one true weakness. The CGI / cut scenes are top notch and really help cap those WOW moments. If you're a fan of Marvel, the X-Men, and especially Wolverine, then you owe it to yourself to play this game.

Game Score: 8.0
Buy vs. Rent: Good Buy, Must Play for any Wolverine fan

Good Buy

Doesn't that kinda contradict itself?

Thanks for the review, sounds like it's great but if you can beat it in 2 days wouldn't it make a good rental instead of purchase?

Well, maybe he played it a ton in those 2 days .. who knows?

Re: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I agree, the CGI work in the cut scenes is great.

The beginning cut scene set the tone for the entire game. Some dude leaning up against the wall and then... bam!

it's a great rental, but also a fine purchase if it's your kind of game. It can be beaten rather quickly, but it's fun the whole time, the whole second time, and any other time. The game hasn't got old for me, and when I cycle back to it, it'll still be fun.

Re: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Just picked this game up. Got in about 3 hours or so of play time, and it's a freakin' blast. No complaints about this so far. Very awesome.

Re: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I just played about an hour or so, and it is an absolute blast.

It may actually stop me from playing The Show, for a little while.

Re: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

For all the Canadians out there, Best Buy Canada has this game for $39.99 until June 25th. I'm not sure if I have the time to play it right now as I still have inFamous, the Show and potentially a football game to buy. But it's a good deal. The demo was fun.
