The changes felt truer to the comics and a better representation of Wolverine and his past.This guide is property of diskdocx. I particularly enjoyed a section of the game in which you infiltrate the Project: Wideawake site and encounter Bolivar Trask, a character who would not appear in the X-Men films until X-Men: Days of Future Past. Personally, I was welcome to the story changes in the game. Part of the game loosely follows the mainline events of the film (with a few changes) and the other part is presented through flashbacks and is based years prior in Africa before Logan disbanded from Team X. There was a lot more room to experiment and include original ideas that the developer, Raven Software, based on major events from the X-Men comics. However, one of the great things about being a video game is that it doesn’t need to be canon. Okay, yes, the story in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine film was pretty bad, and I understand that a game mostly based around that story isn’t exactly a good sign. Also, if you entered the invincibility cheat code, you could even get to the point where you could just see a metal skeleton for Wolvie’s torso.

I remember on my initial playthrough of the game, I would actually go out of my way to get injured just to see how much flesh and skin I could get shot off. Players are able to see every bit of flesh torn away from Wolverine’s skeleton whenever he is attacked by an enemy. Anyone who has payed attention to the character’s biography will know that aside from having razor sharp claws, Wolverine has the ability to rapidly heal any wound he sustains.įor a game that came out in 2009, I really did not expect the game to be as rich in detail when it came to this element of the game. This is personally one of my favourite features in the entire game, and for good reason. Every time that I would chain Wolverine’s aggressive attacks on an enemy before they had the chance to get back up and it would never cease to entertain me.


It was at this moment he knew… he f****d upĪnd yes, whilst some of the fight moves could be considered generic now like Wolverine’s spin attack, at the time, there were fewer games that had used these to the effectiveness that Origins: Wolverine did.
