Amazon.com Review

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 So far, so good. Need to buy the strategy guide, though., September 21, 2005

This review is from: X2 Wolverine's Revenge (CD-ROM)

This is a very cool game, I must say. The graphics are slick and beautiful, the play is outstanding, and there is a bucket's worth of blood flying everywhere when you use your claws on your opponents. Also the game is challenging. So far I am on the level "Runt of the Litter" where you fight Sabretooth, who by the way is my third favorite X Villain next to Magneto and Apocalypse. He is a cool villain, and very vicious, as are all of the soldier guards you fight before him. Plus, you can regenerate just like our favorite Wolvie does in the comics and movies. There's even some mutant monsters for you to kill. Oh, and you can go into a feral rage where your attacks are VERRRYY DAMAGING. There is only one drawback to this game, as far as I'm concerned. On the level with Sabretooth, I have a very hard time finding a way to win. It may be good that this is a challenging game, but the level in question is near impossible. For that reason, I still like this game a lot, don't get me wrong, but before I continue to play it, I will need to buy the strategy guide to find out how to defeat Sabretooth. Other than that, however, it is a great game which I adore, and I recommend it to all who like challenging games, Wolverine and the X-Men, comic books, fighting, and the like. It is a very cool and underrated game. And I'm looking forward to moving on after buying the strategy guide that will get me to the next level of this terrific game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Has Wolverine lost some of his wolf??, July 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: X2 Wolverine's Revenge (CD-ROM)

Unlike others who seemed to have tech probs with the game, I did not. My computer is an Athlon2000XP w/ winXP, 512k RAM, NVidia GForce4 card.
I played the game for many hours & days - I went through many of the levels. Interesting enough it does have a pretty neat plot of how Wolverine became to be and if your patient you'll get to see many other marvel heroes & villans.
The camera I won't lie is a tad difficult to work with - but once I got the feel for it, I didn't have much problems. But because the camera moved around allot, I would get a headache after 2-4 of hrs of gameplay and had quit the game for the day.

No the biggest bummer in the game is that the end characters each have a unique way to beat them and figuring it out can be VERY frustrating, to a point that I ended up quitting and uninstalled the game after my days of failure against the Juggernought.
But all in all it's not a bad game - truely for those who are diehards for 3rd person and are Wolverine fans!

This game is awsome. I found out that it works better when the color setting is on 16 bit mode 400 X 600 pixels. When on this setting, the movies won't be as choppy. For a walkthrough go to gamefaqs . com.
