Introduction
Video game tie-ins don’t usually match the excitement, cinematic visuals nor the exhilarating gameplay of the movies and TV shows which they’re based on. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is no exception. However, we have to admit that it isn’t a dreadful game either. In fact, it’s a lot better than we expected. Read on to find out why.

For the most part, movie tie-ins don’t really capture the excitement, cinematic visuals nor the exhilarating gameplay of their movies and TV shows. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is no exception to this rule. The game is loosely based on the movie of the same name, but it doesn’t really capture its essence either.
Still, I found myself pleasantly surprised by how much fun I had playing through X-Men Origins: Wolverine!
Loosely based on the movie of the same name, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a lot better than we expected.
The game is loosely based on the movie of the same name, which means it’s not very similar. That’s a good thing! It also means that you can enjoy this game without having seen either of them. Not only do you not have to watch the movie to play this video game, but they’re both so bad that we find it hard to recommend them at all.
The plot follows Wolverine as he searches for answers about his past and learns who he truly is. He’ll battle against friends and foes alike across multiple levels set in Japan, Scotland, Canada and many more exotic locales around the world!
The story in X-Men Origins: Wolverine is nothing to brag about. In fact, it feels like a rehash of the movie, but we still appreciate that the game tries to explain its ties to the movie.

The story takes place after the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and follows Logan (Hugh Jackman) as he travels around Asia looking for an old acquaintance of his who’s gone missing. The main gameplay comes from collectible side quests, where you’ll find pieces of information about your missing friend as well as other interesting tidbits about Logan’s past. These missions can be tough because they often involve climbing up walls or moving heavy objects while avoiding guards’ line of sight, which forces players into difficult situations where they’ll have no choice but to fight off enemies with their fists or knives.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an action-oriented game involving both melee combat and shooting mechanics.

To keep things fresh, you’ll be introduced to new weapons and different kinds of enemies throughout your adventure in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. You’ll have a lot of fun playing this game because your goal will always be clear: defeat the boss at the end of each level, get a new weapon that can help you defeat stronger enemies in future stages of the game.
The best thing about playing as Wolverine is his ability to regenerate health by using his Rage mode which also increases his strength and damage resistance.

One of the main reasons you would want to play as Wolverine is because he can heal himself with this ability and it makes him a top choice for players who like to play defensively in games that are based on fighting other people, enemies or bosses.
The combat system feels clunky and can get frustrating when you try to lock onto enemies and avoid their attacks at the same time. There are moments during frantic battles where you’ll want to take a breather from all the chaos before things get more intense.

You’ll have to rely on your reflexes and knowledge of Wolverine’s moves in order to defeat enemies quickly, otherwise they will most likely overpower him if he doesn’t attack them first. Although this is an effective way of attacking enemies and defeating them quickly, it can also be very confusing when trying to get used to different combinations of attacks during battle sequences.
Conclusion
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a game that can be enjoyed by anyone who’s looking to relieve some stress with a mindless hack and slash action title. Hugh Jackman himself even reprises his role as the titular character, so you know it’s got to be good! The game has its flaws but for what it offers, we think every fan of X-Men Origins should give it a shot.
