It'd be awesome if you could unlock a special puppy/flowers/rainbows mode.

My god...The game would never get old. That would be the greatest mode EVAR!!!

Yea there is no reason to go for a game b/c of its gore, if its not necessary. For a character like Wolverine, and being true to the character, its necessary.

I'm really not into all the blood and gore. If they left it out, I think it'd still be true to Wolverine. Probably not as eye popping though.

As for visuals, i don't think they ever make or break a title, but they can go along way to keeping the player absorbed. In this day, with Plasma screen HD TV's, and consoles being optimized for them, visuals mean a lot, like it or not.

For me, it's always going to be the gameplay that keeps me going.

I prefer kittens

I'm in the minority on this, but I'm never impressed with a game b/c of its gore factor. I don't find it necessary.

Some goes for graphics which are often overrated. It doesn't need to be photorealistic to be good.

The Wii version's quality will be decided on its controls, not whether there is a fountain of blood spewing from someone's corpse.

I mean the whole game will be lame, not just because it doesn't have gore. Ravensoft wasn't working on the Wii version, so it's gonna suck.

Well, when Wolverine stabs someone with the worlds most indestructible metal, they need to bleed.

Edit - nvm

They need to invest in a capture card.

Just played around 30 minutes of it before I passed the game to a friend. It's a pretty cool beat 'em up. There's the adventure aspect, but it's honestly hog-wash to prevent repetitive action. The "feral senses" feature is just a glorified cheat for anyone stuck in any particular spot of the game. Objects and pathways are all pointed out for you so it's impossible to not know what to do.

Fighting itself is intuitive and gruesome. At first it seemed very limited, but your movesets increase quickly as you progress through the game. In my time alone, I found at least 6 or so insane death sequences that definitely up the cool factor. But I don't know how long that'll last. It seemed to be busting it's load quite early.

Hopefully some official reviews come out soon. I like what ive heard so far.

PSP gameplay. It's hilarious, in the open cinematic, instead of wasting flesh & blood soldiers, he's killing robots wearing Uniforms.

Can't believe I've gotta wait till next Wednesday to play this!!

From that review vid, it awesome to see the game actually uses Alkali Lake as the location where Logan gets his adamantium, unlike the film

just played the DS version and its nasty. Horrible cartoon versions (With such good Xmen artists why have we got horrible nasty cartoon art styling? And the controls are just yuck. Turst me dont buy.

 

[Nathan]

Definitely ugly as hell.

 

[Smylex]

just took some screens myself of the artwork and it makes it worse. Why not just hire an Xmen artist?

IGN (AU) Review

Closing Comments
Sturdy enough as a brawler with me-too adventuring and some mostly solid production values, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is merely as good as the movie, in reality. If you're not fussy, like your button-mashy beat-em-ups and are addicted to either Wolverine or Hugh Jackman's tank-like physique, you'll get the most out of this. It's God of War with claws and an equally bloodthirsty attitude; flawed, fun and fairly brainless gaming that will infuriate fans of the characters while keeping those same fans playing through, just to see what's around the bend.

...Yes, more grunts, generally.

8.0 Presentation
Outside of technical hiccups, this is a nicely produced and thoughtful game. Wolvie's Feral Sense is a great guide and the game has a solid interface.
8.0 Graphics
Awesome in parts, strangely lifeless and buggy in others. Almost a perfect description of the whole game, actually. Could've saved myself a couple thousand words. Rats.
7.0 Sound
Weird volume fluctuations in cutscenes aside, the score is epic and the voice acting mostly acceptable. Jackman sounds a little less gruff than you might expect.
6.5 Gameplay
Veering between fun and mindless, this is neither the best nor the worst beat-em-up out there. Better structure and a lot of polish, and this would've been great. Also, a big 'WTF' about the Sentinel.
6.5 Lasting Appeal
A decent-sized adventure that'll last you about 15 hours on your first run through. A few secrets and unlockables too.
6.9 OVERALL
Passable
(out of 10 / not an average)

he does get it there in the film...i think. he just escapes differently. which i was annoyed about buuuuuut cnt talk about as film aint out lolt:

 

[Deadpool876]

^^ Uh oh. lol Don't panic, it's just one review. I don't think he mentioned the regeneration--this alone is very cool. "It's God of War with claws" - shouldn't this count for something? Judging from the review, I thought he was gonna give it 7.5 or 7.9 at least but 6.9?!

No mention of the Weapon X Arena too. Oh well, let's wait for others.

Yea i figure most reviews will range from low 6 to around 7, maybe 8. Its still a movie game and its still gonna fall to the same traps. Cant wait to play the game tho. 2 DAYS!

 

[Deadpool876]

^^Yeah, great vid.

Honestly, IF other game websites give this game low scores, my best guess their reasons are that this game is repetitive and too easy. If that happens, I hope this game is still worth a rental.

Im loving the game so far, the controls are great and the combat is fun, its not as challanging as God of War since Logan keeps regenerating, but it doesnt mean you can play this game with your eyes closed. =p

 

[Deadpool876]

^^ Drz, does the Lunge make the game easy?
