While comics are having a bit of renaissance in films lately, with several decent versions of four-color heroes making it to the big screen, still the only half-decent superhero game is Spider-Man. Wolverine’s Revenge should change all that, with what promises to be a genuinely worthwhile game in its own right. Tying in only loosely to the X-Men 2 movie, this is basically a Wolverine simulator, which traces his life from his first appearance as Weapon X in 1968 to a series of deadly battles in the modern day against the likes of Lady Deathstrike and Sabretooth.

As you’d expect, the emphasis of the action in the game is on 3-D combat and this works extremely well, with various combos to unlock and the ability to fight multiple bad guys at once. More interesting, though, is the way you can use Wolvie’s animal senses to follow scent particles in the air, hear distant sounds, and track an enemy’s heat signature. This aspect of the game works incredibly well and allows you to play the game as either an all-out actioner or a more tactical, stealth-based affair.

It’s unusual to see a comic character portrayed so accurately in a game, with all their powers intact, but Wolverine’s Revenge really pulls it off and combines it with some great gameplay and cool graphics. --David Jenkins, Amazon.co.uk

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, April 20, 2003

This review is from: X2 Wolverine's Revenge (Video Game)

This is an excellent game. It is loads of fun and fairly lengthy. It will satisfy any fan of Wolverine and is definitely worth playing or owning. The camera can be a little loose, but you get by. Also, some of the pacing is bad in that some levels can get very long and hard, and if you die you have to start at the beginning. It can get bothersome, but it only happens on the stealth levels: once or twice. The implementation of Wolverine's senses has been captured perfectly. When you go into sense mode, everything becomes orange, allowing Wolverine to see the green scent trails of enemies in rooms, hidden threats (landmines, laser beams), footsteps of soldiers, and points where you can pull off stealth moves on an enemy. While on the topic of stealth attacks, you can sneak up on soldiers in sense-mode, push X, and pull off a cool stealth move in order to grab the enemy's dog tags. The battle system is a bit bland, but since the controls are fairly smooth, it's still fun. Also, you can pull off melee strike attacks, with which you can down multiple enemies at once. There are several boss battles- all very fun- and a plausible story written by Marvel/Wolverine scribe Larry Hama. Several costumes are also hidden in the game, so you can play as any generation's Wolverine. The costumes include New X-Men, classic Yellow and Blue, classic Brown and Yellow, Patch, and X2 Movie. There's plenty of variety in this game, including some first person shooter elements, and plenty of cameos by other characters. I definitely reccomend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars a game worth playing, May 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: X2 Wolverine's Revenge (Video Game)

Initially, I had my doubts about the game. For one, the cover had Hugh Jackman on it. Not that he's not a good actor, I just feel like they could have made a better casting... beside that... the game was great. It has a plot, cool special attacks, and it's not one of the games that you breeze right through on the first shot. The stealth mode is the most interesting part of the game. Variance could be added to Wolverine's attacks but for what its worth, the attacks in the game are graphically pleasing to watch. It's a little annoying that Wolverine has short range attacks while all his enemies seem to carry some sort of rifle or gun, but that's what makes the game so difficult. The game also has a great replay value, because there is no way that you got everything in the game on the first shot, unless you cheated or used a game guide. Definitely a game worth the buy. In all honesty though, I would wait for the price to fall a little bit, but I always do that.

Wolverine's Revenge has alot of promise, the graphics are great and the stealth moves are a blast to see. Where you run into problems is gameplay, its not always clear what to do, save points are spread out unevenly (sometimes there are many, sometimes you have to do 300 things before getting to one), some of the levels are just designed way too hard, and last but not least you sometimes spend what seems like days simply waiting for Wolvie to regain his health. Worth it if you think you can overlook the flaws to play as a great character, but I would suggest X-men: Legends as the true wolvie, or any x-man, game.
