It was also ridiculous and OTT, but it worked! Here are some snippets from the first 10 minutes of the game.

RIP Raven (technically, as the minds behind Singularity, Wolfenstein and this are all long gone). It is pity we never got another one of these.

 

[Abdozer]

One of the better movie-licensed games next to Spider-Man 2 and Butcher Bay for me.

 

[rezuth]

Loved the demo, worth getting the full game?

 

[Salsa]

Loved the demo, worth getting the full game?

yes


I wish it was on Steam :/

 

[Heart Attack]

Great game. I own a copy.

 

[Dvide]

I totally agree. Best movie adaptation after Spiderman 2.

 

[Penguin]

One of the better movie-licensed games next to Spider-Man 2 and Butcher Bay for me.

And so much better than the movie that inspired it

But yeah one of the coolest action games this gen

 

[ViewtifulJC]

When I heard Raven Software was behind this, I knew it was gonna be pretty decent. They make(made ;_ too many solid licensed games for that to happen.

Not exactly Bayonetta or anything, and my GOD did those big Wendigo fights go on forever(and play out exactly the same), but when you LUNGE across the damn screen into some fool with your claws, shit feels good

 

[Keyser Soze]

Loved the demo, worth getting the full game?

Yes. It can likely be got for a stupidly cheap price now too.

The game is pretty much a God of War clone. It goes from fighting a bunch of guys in a closed arena, before you move on to a climbing section, then to set pieces moments (see gifs).

The game works as the it kinda gets more ridiculous as it goes - trying to top the last set piece you just saw. Near the end you

FALL OUT OF THE SKY BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF A SENTINEL

[Ocaso]

Loved the demo, worth getting the full game?

Seconded. It's not perfect by any means, but it's fun and thrilling often enough to warrant a playthrough for Wolvie fans.

 

[MrSilentGuy]

I bought it after I saw the movie. I thought, well this shouldn't be worse than movie. And I was pleasantly surprised that X-men Wolverine was indeed very good game. They managed to capture spirit of the Wolverine Animations, gameplay everything was so good. It is a shame, that we won't see sequel to it

 

[Anticitizen One]

Wait how do you get the skin from the comics????

 

[Retro_]

Holy shit

I need to play this

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Solid game. I wouldn't even qualify it as a "solid licensed game." It's just a solid game.

Is it true that the Captain America game from a few years back is similarly good?

 

[Mechazawa]

It's a game I've been meaning to get around to.

Wish those numbskulls at Activision would put the PC version up on Steam. Or any DD service, really.

 

[GekigangerV]

I really enjoyed the game too. It is a shame we couldn't get a follow up in the form of an X-Force based game.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I always wanted to give this game a shot...

 

[SammiiDoogles]

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Solid game. I wouldn't even qualify it as a "solid licensed game." It's just a solid game.

Is it true that the Captain America game from a few years back is similarly good?

I liked it, it's decent - it's like a lower budget version of Arkham Asylum.

---

I remember in the lead up to Arkham Asylum and the Wolverine game's release there was a lot of discussion at the AA forums over whether it would be better than Arkham Asylum or not. I think it's clear which was the winner haha...

 

[Keyser Soze]

Wait how do you get the skin from the comics????

- Classic Wolverine (blue/yellow) costume (on 360)

While playing the game, press A, X, B, X, A, Y, A, Y, A, X, B(2), X, click Right Analog-stick to unlock Wolverine's classic blue and yellow costume. If you entered the code correctly, you will hear a sound. Then, exit to the main menu, and switch costumes.

 

[LQX]

Yep, loved the shit out of it. Probably the most brutal and violent game this gen.

 

[Sentenza]

Eh. Sort of.
It was a God of War clone that did basic brawling better than the game they copied, but I always guessed they must have ran out of funds/time in the middle of development, because at some point the game started just recycling the same content over and over to unbearable degrees.

I enjoyed it, anyway.

 

[ezekial45]

What a missed opportunity that they aren't making a sequel tie in for The Wolverine this summer.

 

[Maximus.]

- Classic Wolverine (blue/yellow) costume (on 360)

Is the suit available on the ps3 too???

EDIT:

Looks like it!

 

[Stallion Free]

The campaign had way too much padding which I found disappointing. Each location should have been half as long.

 

[bryanee]

It was ok, got a touch repetitive and it suffered from some poor level design in the latter stages of the game and one boss fight in particular was fucking awful but its worth a playthrough if you get it cheap enough.

edit - I forgot his clothes regenerate lol

 

[LTWood12]

Just bought it new on eBay for $21. Cheapest I could find. Surprisingly not that many copies around.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

It just went on way too long for me.

Love the Sentinel part though, super epic.

 

[hlhbk]

The game was everything the movie should have been.

 

[Seven Force]

I didn't know his classic costume was in the game.

I now have an excuse to replay this.

 

[hlhbk]

Is the classic skin on PC?

 

[Team Klimt]

I didn't know his classic costume was in the game.

I now have an excuse to replay this.

LOL i wasthinking the same thing. Sold my ps3 copy long ago and rebought on 360 for a second playthru but never got around to it. Guess its about time to shred some dudes.

Raven! Mad-town <3!

 

[Retro_]

Bought.

Oh cool so it's not DLC

 

[Izick]

Speaking of Raven, how is Volfenshteen and Singularity? Worth 20$ all together?

 

[VARIA]

Wow, those gifs sold me.

I would've never given the game a chance.

Thanks OP.

 

[Sentenza]

Is the classic skin on PC?

I... think it was. I can distinctly remember there were several outfits, but I can't really remember which ones for sure.

 

[jediyoshi]

oh raven<3

 

[Anticitizen One]

I actually remember playing the demo when it first came out and really likeing it but for some reason totally forgot about it afterwards. Gonna have to pick up a copy.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PKHRVE/?tag=neogaf0e-20 $15.99 on Amazon. Is there any place cheaper?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Is the classic skin on PC?

The 360 code above should work if you enter it on a pad. I don't think there is a keyboard version of the cheat.

 

[Whompa]

I remember it being kinda funny when the movie itself ended up sucking more than the game.

 

[Kajiba]

Played the demo alot when it came out. Game is dirt cheap now too.

 

[Salsa]

Classic Skin is definetly on PC and you can also unlock it by just playing the game, if I remember correctly

 

[hlhbk]

I... think it was. I can distinctly remember there were several outfits, but I can't really remember which ones for sure.

http://www.cheatcc.com/pc/xmenoriginswolverinecheatscodes.html

Here are the cheats for the pc version. Apparently the same code works for the PC version if you have a 360 controller.

 

[void666]

Kill all enemy soldiers but one. Turn the camera around to show wolverine from the front.
Walk slowly towards the frightened soldier while he shoots you.
Healing factor take care of the wounds. Then brutally kill the soldier.

So badass.

 

[hlhbk]

I remember it being kinda funny when the movie itself ended up sucking more than the game.

I was very bitter about this. We will never see a Wolverine movie give the character the justice he deserves.

 

[CambriaRising]

Didn't realize this was on PC. Anyway to go about purchasing it? It doesn't seem to be on Steam.

 

[Daingurse]

It was a little too repetitive and I hated what they called "Wendigo". But I like it, they fucking tried and it's fun.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Speaking of Raven, how is Volfenshteen and Singularity? Worth 20$ all together?

I loved Singularity, and bits of it stick in my head still. It has some great moments. It plays like a somewhat limited version of Bioshock 1 - but with a stronger focus on shooting.

I remember liking Wolfenstein too (when I played it), but if you asked me about the game now, I could not remember specifics about it at all.

I think all three are worth it, but I would go Wolverine > Singularity > Wolfenstein in terms of quality/fun.

 

[NIN90]

RIP in peace, Raven.

 

[revolverjgw]

Might bump this up in my backlog. How long is it?

 

[catabarez]

Disc only. I bought it on Amazon about a year ago.
