Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

In the late 196s, Wolverine was surgically implanted with the adamantium skeleton that would make him one of the world's most famous X-Men. More than thirty years later, he's discovered that he was also implanted with something else: a viral bomb that counter his accelerated healing powers. Now active, the virus will render Wolverine lifeless in 48 hours. The clock is ticking. The location of the cure is unknown. And only you can find it.

This game gets a bad rap that I don't quite understand. The performances by both Hamill and Stewart and great- the storyline is high energy- there are even some fun cameo appearances from various X-Men.

The stealth abilities of this game are its highlight, and collecting dog tags for downed soldiers through this mode is really fun. The levels are very long, though- and sometimes the bosses are unbelievably difficult. Saves are few and far between, making it stressful to replay levels- but overall, this is a really fun game, definitely worth the $10 you'll probably pay for it.

This game is like the worst game ever made. I'm a really huge fan of stealth games, and other games that have a similar feel to this one. However, this game did horrible.

This is the sort of game where they tell you it all depends on stealth, but in the end, you can tell that: level "A" requires stealth tactics to reach a goal, but level "B" requires outright mayhem. Often if you make a small mistake, you're practically dead. Sure you regenerate some health, but it is painstakingly slow, and in at least one level you have to do without.

The stealth is also very clunky. You enter a sort of cutscene when you implement the move, and whereas this looks cool, the lack of control and longevity more often than not cause you to be seen by his buddy.

The actual "outright mayhem" part of the game is EXTREMELY poor. Though they try to implement a system of "special moves", the timing is hard to master and the chances to use them so few and far between that you often forgot the buttons you need to push (i.e. the controls are pretty crappy). Not to mention the lack of a tutorial really hurt the game, as it took me like 20 minutes to get out of the first room (I died twice before i figured out how to kill the first goons, and then it took another 10 minutes to figure out how to open the door).

Everything in the game is a bit choppy--but that doesn't mean that it isn't addictive. The game actually somehow still comes across as fun. I think you could actually overlook most of the faults, if you had the ability to save anywhere. Doing the same level over and over isn't my idea of a good game.

My recommendation is to rent it--don't buy it, not for any price above a rental price anyway.

First of all, let it be known I am a big Wolverine fan (ask me to show you my Wolverine tattoo sometime...), so I may be too critical.

Things I was pleased about -- Mark Hamill (also known as Luke Skywalker, or the voice of The Joker in the Batman animated series)performs the voice of Wolverine...Very good! Patrick Stewart also handles the voice of Professor X. In general, the voice-overs of this game are fantastic, as is the storyline. However this is the best part of the game, and the rest really needs work.

I felt like I was playing a beta version of this game. As others have stated, there is a tremendous amount of clipping. Clipping is when people and objects suddenly fall through walls, get stuck, or inexplicably die. Also, the levels are VERY long, and there is no way to save during a level. So plan on spending 30 minutes navigating a level, and if you die, you are gonna need 30 minutes all over again...

The game is still very fun though -- I wish that Activision had taken more time to polish things up.

I hope there is a sequel planned, so they can address the issues and improve the Wolverine experience...
