Is this game like wolverine himself and ageless or do we need to move on?
Anyway back to the review. In may 2009 this game came out and a few weeks before it the demo for said game came out. I tried the demo and realy enjoyed it but lack of cash at the time stopped me from getting it when it first came out and then other games jumped out at me and i got the. Then a few months ago (Today being 25th of may 2010) i see X-Men Origins: Wolverine on sale for a very very nice price of £12.99p. So i say what the heck i enjoyed the demo i am going to buy it and give it a go...
Well let me tell you boy am i glad i got this game it may not be the longest game in the world and most with enough free time will have it completed over a long weekend but it is a very fun and in some ways a very evil game... I mean the way that Wolverine rips his enemys apart and the beat he takes but keeps on going...it makes you feel like a badass that if anyone steps in your way you know there just going to end up in differant sections of the room in about 15 parts...
If you have seen the film then you near enough already know the storyline for the game it is based around some of Wolverine's life as weapon X and how he got his adamantium bones and how and why he can not remember his past at all. Its a simple story that is told in a type crisscross of flashbacks between events 3 years ago and the time of Wolverine getting some form of revenge.
Not only does X-Men Origins: Wolverine feature the main main himself but there are also others who will make or have a huge impact on the ongoing story...they are:
Logan / Wolverine: A mutant with powers of regeneration, animalistic instincts, enhanced strength, unbreakable bones and six retractable adamantium claws.
Victor Creed: Wolverine's half-brother who has a healing factor, animalistic instincts, and retractable claws.
William Stryker: A Colonel of the military who formed Team X, and is a major part of the Weapon X Program.
Kayla Silverfox: Logan's lover; she has the ability of tactile hypnosis: the ability to control someone as long as she is touching them.
John Wraith: A mutant who has the ability to teleport. A former member of Stryker's team. Owns a bodybuilding studio in Las Vegas, Nevada.
David North / Agent Zero: A member of the Weapon X Program, Stryker's second-in-command. Zero possesses expert tracking skills and is a lethal marksman.
Fred Dukes / Blob: A mutant and former member of Stryker's mutant strike team. Fred has an indestructible layer of skin. After leaving Stryker and the team, he developed an eating disorder and became obese.
Remy LeBeau / Gambit: A former prisoner of Stryker who can manipulate kinetic energy.
Wade Wilson: The "merc with a mouth." Wade is a highly trained mercenary who was the annoyance of the team. Who will latter become Weapon XI / Deadpool who is a mutant killer. He was given a healing factor, teleportation, and optic blast powers and had his mouth forced shut. Stryker also had adamantium blades surgically implanted into his arms.
Raven Darkholme: A female mutant with shapeshifting abilities and a CIA operative who was working in conjunction with Stryker's team in Africa. She later encounters Wolverine when they both are searching for Wraith. She is Wraith's lover and the mother of his child.
Dr. Bolivar Trask: Creator of the Sentinels. He kidnaps Wraith to use him in his study of the mutant gene for sentinel programming. His hand is cut off by Wolverine, he later replaces it with a prosthetic hand. In the future as shown in the game, he appears to be the one directing the soldiers attacking Wolverine in an attempt to capture him.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS.
It may not be a perfect game but as movie tiein games go its not all bad and can be alot of fun once you get into it...So if you have some spare cash laying around and you want to have some violent fun why not pick this up and give it a go.
