This game is great for many reasons, but it's the gameplay that really makes this game great. You'll play as Wolverine the entire game, but you'll run into a lot of other X-Men characters along the way - friend and foe. Let's start with the basics before jumping into details: Sound: Sound is good and the voice acting is alright. Controls: The controls are very easy and at times, the screen will prompt you to hit certain buttons to execute certain moves. Graphics: The graphics are decent for the three versions of this game (XBOX, PS2 and GameCube). While the visuals aren't super stunning, they're good enough to keep you from gasping at them. Story: Story isn't anything too gripping, but since you'll end up fighting a slew of super villains as a result, you won't care. Ok, so what's great about this game is that you're not just running around and killing or beating down opponents. You can use stealth if you want, much like you can in games such as Splinter Cell. You can use Wolverine's animalistic senses to help you accomplish your stealth. You'll be able to see footprints or odors in the air to lead you to (or away, depending on your game plan) the enemies. You can sneak up behind the enemies and when you get close enough, can execute a variety of finishing moves. My person favorite is when Wolverine stabs the enemy in the leg, pulls him down and then pounces on him to finish the job. There are a great variety of these moves and they differ pending on where you are and such. Don't go thinking this a game like Splinter Cell or Hitman, where you have to sneak about to win. At times, yes, the stealth is actually necessary, but if you so choose to run about like a psycho in a slaughterhouse, go right ahead. If you choose to just flat out combat large groups of enemies, then you'll find that the feral mode is just what you're looking for. It will increase Wolverine's speed and strength for a limited amount of time...perfect for when you find yourself surrounded by over a dozen soldiers wielding guns. The levels are long, so sometimes you'll get frustrated if you die at a point near the end. Each level is basically trying to find your way to the end while avoiding death from the basic enemies. Pretty much at the end of every level is a boss battle. The boss battles mainly consist of fighting the X-Men's super villians like Magneto, Sabretooth, Wendigo, etc. The boss battles are nice because you're not just running around and avoiding their attacks while executing your own. Instead, there are little tricks to taking down and hurting your opponent. This game is definitely challening and can keep you busy for quite some time. Also, you'll be searching each and every level for the hidden unlockables. The unlockables include artwork, comic covers and alternate costumes for Wolverine - the alternate costumes are fun because you change them whenever you feel and sometimes it's nice to play in the classic Wolverine costume. I recommend this game to anyone who likes action, fighting or combat games. You don't necessarily need to be an X-Men fan, but if you are....well, you'll love this game. I really couldn't think of a single way to improve this game.Read full review
Its a third person player. I usually go for 1st person shooter but at 1.99 I couldnt pass it up. Plus Clothes make the man and you can unlock all of canucleheads comic and movie outfits. Games got some sort of animal sense mode like in Bloodrain. Ill have to get the hang of it. The claws retract and for good reason. Your healing factor doesnt kuck in untill then!! Big Bonus voice master Mark Hammil plays the voice of Wolverine! ( To think I was disapointed at first when I didnt hear Hugh Jackman!) AND they got Patrick Stewart for the Professor X role!
Great game. Thank you.
