Over and above that is the way that the game powers you up and equips you with powers and skills that allow you to handle practically any combat situation, and handle it with style. It makes killing joyously simple to the point where you end up devising more interesting ways of carrying out the job to amuse yourself. That's Wolverine, that's what it's all about.
Sure, you can rip that to shreds, but that's kind of the point. There are two things that stand out for me with this game: firstly, and perhaps rather bizarrely, it's the way that the easy mode is the default difficulty setting. Marvel's most infamous mutant is essentially an almost unstoppable killing machine, and Raven's notion of inserting that creation into a God of War-esque game is a stroke of brilliance.
Sure, it's short-lived and repetitive, but it captures the essence of the character perfectly and builds a memorable gameplay experience around that. The more I play Wolverine, the more I like it, to the point where I think perhaps the 5/10 score was harsh. If you don't have a large enough buffer for this behind-the-scenes streaming, the game tells you, but crucially doesn't stop you playing. Forget the concept of a mandatory installation, Raven has instead opted for a stealth approach which sees the game gradually fill up to around 1GB of your hard disk space as you play. Feral senses are still obtained, which can detect doors, traps, enemies and sentinel observers, and lunges must be performed at closer distances.X-Men Origins: Wolverine does much to endear itself to me right from the off. The XP is used to level up, and each new level results in gaining skill points, which are used to purchase upgrades.The PlayStation 2 and Wii versions are less graphic, with less language and slightly different combat. Experience (XP) is collected from defeating enemies, destroying elements and accumulating collectibles. During combat, Wolverine's rage meter builds up, and when full allows him to use more devastating attacks, like the claw spin and a berserker mode, which increases Wolverine's claw strength until his Rage Meter empties. Wolverine can also use the environment to his advantage, such as by impaling foes on spikes. Another form of attack is the lunge, which allows Wolverine to quickly close the distance to an enemy.
Enemies can be slain in several ways in addition to the graphic display of Wolverine's healing factor.Ĭombat relies on three options - light attacks, heavy attacks, and grabs. The Uncaged Edition also features a large amount of blood. X-Men Origins takes influences from games such as God of War and Devil May Cry with a third person perspective.
