Editorial Reviews :
While comics are having a bit of renaissance in films lately, with several decent versions of four-color heroes making it to the big screen, still the only half-decent superhero game is Spider-Man. Wolverine’s Revenge should change all that, with what promises to be a genuinely worthwhile game in its own right. Tying in only loosely to the X-Men 2 movie, this is basically a Wolverine simulator, which traces his life from his first appearance as Weapon X in 1968 to a series of deadly battles in the modern day against the likes of Lady Deathstrike and Sabretooth.
As you’d expect, the emphasis of the action in the game is on 3-D combat and this works extremely well, with various combos to unlock and the ability to fight multiple bad guys at once. More interesting, though, is the way you can use Wolvie’s animal senses to follow scent particles in the air, hear distant sounds, and track an enemy’s heat signature. This aspect of the game works incredibly well and allows you to play the game as either an all-out actioner or a more tactical, stealth-based affair.
It’s unusual to see a comic character portrayed so accurately in a game, with all their powers intact, but Wolverine’s Revenge really pulls it off and combines it with some great gameplay and cool graphics. --David Jenkins, Amazon.co.uk
Buyer Reviews :
This game is hot as hell. The graphics are really tight,The controls are just the same.I've followed Wolverine's storyline for 13 years, and this storyline is brilliant, and accurate to the comic book series, thanks of course to Larry Hama, who contributed to the game and has been a Wolverine writer for years. The excitement is intense and will keep you addicted for hours at a time. You use stealth and jump out of the shadows at enemies and gut them with your claws. You can use over a dozen spectacular looking combos to finish off a few enemies at a time, each combo more brilliant looking than the last one. On one of them, you can throw two enemies up in the air and impale them on yourclaw like a shikobob. The battles with the big bosses are simply awesome. You get to throw down with Sabretooth (twice), The Juggernaut, Wendigo (one of the coolest battles), Lady Deathstrike, and Magneto. Mark Hamill does his coolest performance since Star Wars as the voice of Logan, and Patrick Stewart is sharp as ever as Professor X. It's his trademark character, he probably thinks he is Professor X. This is Tenchu - Wrath of heaven, Syphon Filter, and Metal gear solid 2 stirred into one game and I can honestly say that I think it will be the biggest game of the year, a good rival to Grand theft auto Vice city. I hope that this isn't the last Wolverine solo adventure game, He is the coolest superhero ever, even cooler than Spiderman, Superman, Batman and The Hulk. Anybody who gets into this will definitely be addicted to it, take my word for it. I have plenty more great things to say but then this review would be too long for anyone to read through. Wolverine rules!
