What makes Wolverine different is the fluidity of the combat: he can flip over enemies, counter a number of cheap blows, tackle them into an uppercut, and lunge at them with a fury of slashes, which are spectacularly very gruesome – you can do all of these without much effort being put into memorization of the controls.Įverything just sort of clicks contextually since the control scheme is very minimal. Like most action-RPGs, the combos are strung together by mixing various button presses that lead to amazing aerial strikes and even for some nasty grappling finishers. The nature of combat is very reminiscent of God of War and X-Men Legends, being comprised of Light and Heavy attacks, along with a Grab command. This lets Wolverine use his repertoire of moves consistently, and it’s one hell of an arsenal.
Jumping back and forth between the past and present timelines is integral not only to the story, but the gameplay as well.Īs an action-RPG, anything earned in one section of the game carries on to the next, whether it takes place in the past or present. Other locations include the Alkali Lake Compound (reminscient of the comic), the Weapon X Laboratory, among other prominent Wolverine-related settings. Many of Wolverine’s experiences during present-day gameplay relate to things that happened in the past, most notably his mission in Africa. The gameplay doesn’t progress the story linearly, rather the chapters jump between Wolverine’s past and present accordingly, complete with pre-rendered cutscenes.
As the title implies, the game revolves around Wolverine’s origins, and the founding of the X-Men, which gives you a good insight of how it all started. The storyline featured in X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a hybrid of the plot found in the movie and that plot is exclusive to the console release. X-Men Origins: Wolverine, their latest creation, is considered to be one of the greatest movie-games to date!Ī near-perfect blend of action, narrative, and downtime/puzzles really make this game stand out amongst titles like Too Human, Fallout 3, and The Watcher. While they don’t produce as many action RPG titles as other developers in their league, they are the best at what they do. Raven Software is back making action-RPG’s again.
