  1. This tears your skin off! Fast gameplay, customisable upgrades and lots of style – despite the repetitive action, Wolverine definitely is the best game incarnation of our favorite super-hero.
  2. It's short - really short - about four hours in total the first time around. Unlockables and achievements, as well as additional modes, add to the package in a meaningful way, but the gameplay, ultimately, isn't that diverse.

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine for Nintendo DS is a product that, despite the backing of the movie's success, has resulted in quite a mediocre game.
  4. Overall, the DS version of Wolverine was my least favorite. I did enjoy the more traditional comic book style art and presentation but it fails in nearly every other way that matters.

    I expected oomph, I got something rather tame and repetitive.
  6. If you’re a seasoned gamer looking for a short X-Men fix, this one works, but most other folks will want to take a pass.
  7. Graphically confused, the sound is limited, the gameplay does not entertain for more than half an hour and longevity is short. You don’t replay the game because the character is not difficult to master and the extra level of difficulty is not enough to start the game again.

    The film was duff; the game's duff. [Aug 2009, p.77]

    It's a good game, much better than the movie, not the perfect game but too good for the nintendo DS. 8/10
