X-Men Origins: Wolverine (The Video Game)

[9/10 · 31 August 2013]

Hold up, Bub. While this is second to none in the market for violent slashing and graphic violence and awesome moves and combos as what one would expect a Wolverine game should be, it just comes short with some limitations. I am first and foremost a free roaming gamer. Those are the kinds of games I like. One that you are free to roam anywhere in the entire given map. But that doesn't happen in this game. You are locked in a specific location and are limited to a lot of things to do there. I can't climb the rocks. Duh, Wolverine and his adamantium claws can slice through rocks like it was butter. You just can't do that here. Instead in some instances you are given a hanging rope to climb on to or there are specific areas where you are allowed to climb the rocks using your claws. There are lots of metal objects you cannot destroy. In the fictional story there isn't anything stronger than adamantium. How can some metal objects be in God Mode and indestructible in this game? Your character here has the ability to target an enemy and lunge at him from a distance. But on his own, Wolverine cannot jump mere distances without an enemy standing there to target. Escaping from the Weapon X facility would've been easy as I could've sliced my way thru any of those stupid metal doors no matter how thick they were. The plants are almost all indestructible too. Gee. I knew the developers couldn't possibly make it too perfect. That's why I gave this game a 9 instead of a 10. All in all it's an amazing game if you're willing to shrug off the ridiculous limitations they put on Wolverine in this game, then it's a really fun game. I'm still waiting for them developers to really come up with realism in games. Like in most games, how come I can't go smashing thru any door at all and are just allowed to do so on some doors specially if they were part of the game mission or something. I may not be huge and superhuman, but I have smashed thru wooden doors so many times in real life. Duh even without guns and just my bare hands!!!
