    It's the best comic/movie game before Batman: Arkham Asylum. It's bloodier than movie, more intensive than movie and it let you be the real destructoid superhero. Do you need better recomendation?

    the best wolverine video game to date. this game is the rated-R version of the movie. the developer took a page from the God of War games and highlighted Wolverine's ferocious and always bloody finishing moves. When playing this game I felt like I was Wolverine and the developers did a great job in portraying the character on -screen. They even have Hugh Jackman do the voice-acting.

    I loved how they displayed Wolverine regeneration ability, on the character model.

    Although as fun as the game was the game's AI was incredible easy. After a few hours of playing, the enemies took very simple strategies to kill; especially the end-boss fight ...

    I would recommend this game to any Wolverine fans. Much more enjoyable than the movie counterpart. 7/10    … Expand

    I first played this game 10 years ago so don t expect me to write a detailed review about it. You wont find a good story cuz not even the film was good in that aspect. It s a decent combat if you like wolverine that s more of it, but even like this sometimes you ll get bored sometimes you ll really have fun

    One of the best video games I've ever played. I always hated the 'slash n gash' video games, because they were just.. Repetitive. Wolverine: Origins is different. The story, mixed with the upgrades, mixed with the gruesome kills, mixed with the bonkers amount of action, made this game EXCELLENT. The graphics are great.

If you have the patience, I'd recommend this game to anyone. If it started you off where you left off, or atleast close to where you left off, it would make up for it.. Instead, you have to start alllll over. I gave up and watched the walkthroughs instead. Buy this game… Expand

    Gave up just before finishing it at the last boss, i had no idea it was the last boss. The game can be very frustrating and unfair at times. But overall a pleasant experience, so many interesting mechanics and effects.

    I came across this game back in 2011-2012, when I was small, I went through it for a long time and tediously, because I didn't really know where to go, what to do, I just went through the very first mission in Africa. The day before yesterday I decided to make a mistake and wanted to find this game, but it is not on Steam, Origin, Epic Games and other large playgrounds, it simply cannot be bought anywhere ... play for 2021). Well, at the expense of the game, this is the moment when the game is better than the movie of the same name.    … Expand

    Good game. Passed several times. He surpassed the film and showed what a real Wolverine should be like. The minus point is only that the gameplay can sometimes get boring, since you will find the strongest buttons and only press them. And so, well-deserved 9.

    Nothing but good memories. It offers so much more than the movie did and you can't really say this about many movie video-games.

    Я только недавно узнал, что эта игра сделана по фильму и вообще к фильму в 2009 году, а прошел я ее в 2012 году. Она сделала свое дело, произвела на меня сильное впечатление, не говоря о моем тогдашнем более чем юном возрасте. Мясо, матюки, убийства... разве что самого главного не было.

А если серьезно, мрачный сюжет о Росомахе, устроившем резню на пути мести, эффектные катсцены, более чем "причесанная" графика и, еще раз, жестокость и разнообразие убийств смешались для меня в один гремучий коктейль и запомнились надолго, несмотря на то, что больше я к этой игре не возвращался. И вот, через 11 лет, вернулся. Ах да, чуть не забыл упомянуть, что нарисованный чрезвычайно подробно процесс регенерации плоти главного героя, которую постоянно разрывают в клочья - оставил свой след наравне с рубкой тел противников, оставил маленькую ассоциацию с самим словом "регенерация". Вот, как-то так. Мне понравилось все, что я увидел, но я не считаю, что меня это испортило, и тем более не считаю, что это говорит о вреде жестокости в видеоиграх. В общем, сюжет для меня в этой игре - правильно выстроенная постановка, красивые декорации и история о мести несправедливым людям. Геймплей - то, что должны давать все видеоигры. Это недостойно забытый достойный проект.… Expand

    The story is convoluted, the bosses are boring and the whole experience isn't that deep, but this game sure is fun.

    An extremely competent hack 'n' slash that achieves exactly what developer Raven set out to do: deliver a real Wolverine experience. This isn't the feral X-Man as family-friendly super-hero, but a full-on blood thirsty killer.

    X-men Origins: Wolverine manages to rise above the low standards of licensed videogames by presenting spectacular fights without complex button combinations. The monotonousness and some small technical difficulties make Wolverine a game that can only be recommended to the fans of the anti-hero or anyone else who enjoys simple but enjoyable popcorn entertainment in a videogame.
