I think that might just be one of the best damn video game trailer ever created :lol:

Havent played it, just saw them play it at NYCC and it looked sweet.

I did, and love it. I actually just reviewed it:

One of the few times where the game will be leagues above the movie. I'm about to get this game really soon. Just gotta get other games out of the way first. But from the gameplay videos I saw, it basically looked like God of War, except we play as Wolverine instead of Kratos... and it's not based in Greek mythology. But yeah, God of War gameplay with Wolverine settings. Sounds like a win-win.

according someone I know at a gamestore its actually a good "movie the game" game.

I'm gonna get it:D

Great review. I was on the fence with the game at first but from reading your review I can tell it's my kinda game. I didn't even know about it till I saw ads for it on some websites. I'm gonna pick it up next time I have some spare cash. Gotta tie myself over cause Batman got set back again.

the only bad thing about it, that its a movie game, so they obviously haven't had time to fix all the glitches and bugs.

Well, Wolverine had more time to polish, because they started BEFORE the Wolverine movie started filming.

You're an idiot.

still it got glitches that should have been fixed during beta testing

It pretty much has the same amount of glitches that a normal non licensed game has.

its an very unpolished game, but luckily its awesome

Uh...no? Where the hell are you getting this information? The game has a lot of polish, especially for a licensed game.

I got to try the demo last night. I was sold after I pulled a guy out of a helicopter and stuck his head into the blades. The way you take damage is amazing, the combat was pretty fun, and the cut scenes looked nice. I'm getting this one for sure.

anyone tested the different versions?
hows the Wii gameplay, is it any good? or is it just shake the hell out of the controller?

I'm curious if I'm gonna get the PS3 or Wii version

Well, for one, the PS3 and 360 versions are both "Uncaged Edition." And the Wii and PS2 versions aren't. Meaning the violence and such is cut down dramatically, as well as the gore. It will feel more like playing previous Wolverine games, wherein he seems to have unsharpened claws.

He'd be the best there is at what he does, and what he does is dramatically knocks people unconcious.

Played it and beat it the other day. It was pretty fun while it lasted. I'm just trying to get achievements for it now. I'll start on hard mode as soon as I finish those off.

I liked everything only a few things bothered me.
1. The story is horrid, it's based off the film so I guess I can't give it too much crap for that.

2. I hate a lot of the character designs. I wish when you wore the other Wolverine costumes the other characters joined in. This whole "making them realistic" thing bothers me. I don't want Sabertooth to look like normal guy with a buzz cut, I want him to look like a comic book character.

3. The deflecting works when it feels like it. Maybe I just suck but the first few times I had to do it I had no trouble at all and after that it took me too many tries to get it down.

4. Why do we need to go back to Africa. It's boring. The levels were fun at first until they stopped throwing in the extra cool stuff and basically made it to where you replay the same areas again with different enemies.

Those are small complaints and none of them really ruined the game for me in the least. I enjoyed it quite a bit and recommend it to anyone who likes these style games.

Traded in InFamous for it and I must say, I'm liking it a lot so far. Wasn't a big fan of the movie, but I don't think I should fault the game for using it as a reference. I mean, it did the best it could do with the available source material.

The graphics range from fantastic to washed out and blurry. Luckily the worse looking parts of the game are hidden by the frantically fun battle system that keeps you occupied. The combat with tight controls has staggering amount of depth if you're willing to look for it, which the skilltree and plentiful collectables only add to. I didn't like the excessively graphic nature of the violence, but it did allow for a great looking damage effect on Logan. (I might even argue it should have replaced the entire life-bar and gotten rid of the HUD completely.) The puzzle elements are pretty straight-forward and not all that original, but they're still managed to provide a breath of fresh air that is normally absent in the genre. They break up the action nicely and never feel like a chore.

I have to address the abundance of collision glitches tho. I bought this game on recommendation of a friend of mine, who told me all the moping about the glitches was greatly exaggerated. As much as I'm enjoying it so far, he was wrong. Wolverine frequently grabs onto thin air when trying to hold onto ledges or climb ropes. Worst case scenario was when I had to stop playing just now because an enemy I threw got stuck mid-air. He was completely invulnerable up there, nor was I able to progress to the next room due to the fact that he wasn't dead. Granted this only happened once and the game is very generous with checkpoints, but these bugs are the wine-stains you can't get out on an otherwise really nice shirt.

In spite of the few blemishes, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a modern beat-em-up done right. Especially commendable when you compare it to other licensed games.
