X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start off by saying most games that tie into a movie suck, Wolverine Uncaged isn't one of them.

Unlike so many other movie games Wolverine Uncaged is well thought out and designed, like they were actually trying to make a great game instead of just making a game to sell with the movie.

In terms of how it plays, it plays similarly to God of War, some platforming, puzzles, and lots of action. It is just tons of fun having a half a dozen or more bad guys thrown at you and being able to just deal with them. That and the fact that Wolverine has enough moves and animations that each kill seems unique, keeping the gameplay fresh the whole way through.

The controls are responsive, somewhat intuitive, and just work. Can't really complain about any aspect of the controls.

Graphically the game is very solid. During a fight Wolverine will get torn apart, lit on fire, shot, even blown up to some degree and every little bit of that effects how he looks. He'll even get to the point that hes so torn up it's like looking through a piece of Swiss cheese, thus exposing his skeleton. And watching him regenerate from all of his wounds is just cool.

The game also has some of the smoothest cutscenes I've seen for a while. One thing I've always disliked about cutscenes in other games is that they show your character doing really awesome things that you can't normally do in the game. Wolverine Uncaged on the other hand, you get to do all of those awesome things.

Now some people will complain about all of the blood and gore and the fact it's rated M... I don't have a problem with that because if you've ever read ANY of the Wolverine Origins books you'll know why. And being such a fan I am glad they didn't wuss out and go for T rating. In fact if it was rated T (or E for Everyone), the game would be greatly hindered and probably be just another run of the mill "movie games" that sucks, instead of the great game that it is.

If you are a fan of Wolverine, particularly the Origins series of books, this game lives up to it.
If you are looking at getting this for your kid because they liked the movie, you might want to think twice and check out the demo before you purchase.

Don't dismiss this as another one of those movie tie in games like I almost did, you'll kick yourself.

Pros:
Is a great game that just happens to be coming out at the same time as it's movie counterpart.
Awesome action and tons of moves.
Smooth transitions between cutscenes and gameplay.
Voice acting is very solid.

Cons:
Really can't think of any... yet.
