X-Men Origins: Wolverine
When I first saw some video of the new Wolverine game, adapted from Hugh Jackman's return to the claws that made him famous, I was very excited. I saw blood, I saw flesh regenerating and I even saw an epic battle against Sentinels, Sabretooth, Deadpool, and others. Needless to say, it looked like a video game company actually understood Wolverine. Reading the description of the Wii version of the game made it seem that, while the graphics and real-time regeneration may not be as vivid, and the amount of blood and gore would be toned down, the other all feel of this game would not be much different than the "UnCaged" versions found on PC, XBOX360, and PS3.
Upon purchasing the game, I found it to be a disappointment. Not only was the game too easy and repetitive, Some of the villains described were not present. I understand the Wii can not handle the graphics and amount of information that the PS3 and XBOX360, but I really don't think they needed to completely dumb the game down to the point that the most difficult part of the game was not falling in the water. I had some fun with the game and reliving the movie was definitely a plus, but the game needed something to keep me wanting to play.
I did complete the game and hoped to find some desirable unlockable(s), all I received for my effort was a slightly harder game play mode, which did not make me want to beat the game again. Needless to say, Activision skimped on the Wii version as many other companies have done; if you want a good game for the Wii, you need to look for games designed specifically for the Wii and not modified from the Playstation 2 version.

I'd give the game a D+ overall

First off, I haven't seen the movie...Anyway this is your average comic book-turned-movie-turned-video game. If only developers spent more time with video game production instead of rushing it out to stores. The game play is entertaining and a bit too easy. The bosses are push-overs and Sabertooth is overly down-played. The Wii controls are easy to learn and don't hamper game play. I would suggest to rent it first.

I thought the game was ok until I saw how much better the PS3 version was. Felt a little jyped. This is basically just a hack and slash type game. There are combo moves but generally you can get by with the basic repeated button presses. The bosses are easy to beat and present little challenge. Passed it in three days and have not touched it since.
