It's Actually a Good Game! "I'm the best at what I do - and what I do is not very nice." I guess the most remarkable thing about X-Men Origins: Wolverine is that it is a proper Wolverine game - plenty of blood and guts all over with no apologies for the fact that Wolverine is what he is, a brutal killing machine. While there are minor faults here and there, the key bit is that the game is fun, stable and the action stays fresh enough for at least one complete play-through. The normal mode is a bit on the easy side, but at least it limits interruptions due to deaths to the few annoying platforming bits where a failed jump sends Wolverine falling down, requiring you to restart from the previous checkpoint. The story is what you'd expect from a game based on the comics and while it does incorporate the movie storyline, it also slips in plenty of original story to expand the backstory of Wolverine beyond the movie. Original bits from Raven Software are true to the comic books and the sub-plot involving a massive secret Sentinel factory adds in that "epic" factor that is sorely missing from the movie. X-Men Origins: Wolverine actually delivers what the developers claimed - it is "a movie game that does not suck". It certainly is a piece of "disposable" entertainment, not really designed to keep you coming back for additional plays over and over again. Yet in my opinion there is certainly enough well-implemented and bloody entertainment in the box to justify the price tag - about 15 hours or so, in case such detail matters to you. Once you are done with the story you can always sell off your copy to someone else - there is no intrusive DRM that would tie the copy to you, just a simple disc-in-drive check. Alternatively you could just rent the console version for a long weekend. Either way, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is definitely not your average licensed pile of crap and is easily worth checking out.
