While this game is somewhat better than I was expecting, frankly, it is just yer typical button mashing "action game".
I will admit that it looks lovely, the gore is great and gratuitous. The "kill moves" are a blast. Cool look to the healing Wolverine goes through when hurt. But once you get past that a bit, well, it becomes your average "Hey, just reached a save point! Oh golly, a huge unexpected group of poorly trained soldiers waiting for me 'round that bend! Oh gosh, it's a boss to spend 30 minutes trying to defeat 16 times!" kinda game.
While one of the better comicbook/movie imports in quite some time (really looking forwards to the new BatMan), and somewhat fun in a see-how-fast-you-can-push-the-mouse-buttons-with-shift/direction-combo-to-kill time waster, it just didn't hold my attention very long.

wasted time, no reward.
