    A sloppy console port... To top all the negative aspects, the game is rather short and, quite frankly, hardly worth its current $30 price tag.

    Its control niggles make it more suitable for console platforms, and it's nowhere near as enjoyable as last year's "Spider-Man" movie game. [July 2003, p.90]

    Controlling Wolverine during combat can prove difficult, especially when there are multiple enemies onscreen simultaneously.

    For all its problems, the single most grating aspect of Wolverine's Revenge is its sound.

    Unfortunately, for my rapidly dwindling sanity, the PC version not only retains the basic gameplay, erratic camera, and simplistic level design of the original, it tops off that witch's brew of gaming mediocrity with a whole passel of problems unique to the PC version.

    All this lame locking on, being stealthy, performing advanced moves with a single tap, dealing with a wretched camera system crap needs to go straight out the window fast.

    The gameplay, already uninspired and annoying on the consoles, is an uncontrollable mess on PC and not even worth it for fanboys. [Sept 2003, p.100]

    Something of a tragedy. It is a game hindered by far more than just bad graphics; controlling “the X-Men’s most dangerous weapon” is far from fun, and borders on infuriating.

    Doesn't bring anything really cool to the table in terms of gameplay, but if you're a fan of the X-Men and looking for a game that really fleshes out Wolverine's life, then this may be worth checking out.

    Yes, it may take you years to beat if you're a little kid like I was when I bought the game. But no one can deny it's really exciting to playYes, it may take you years to beat if you're a little kid like I was when I bought the game. But no one can deny it's really exciting to play as Wolverine when there are so many cool features. The graphics are very decent, and the story is just great. The controls are a bit difficult the whole time, and the boss fights are really hard sometimes. However, the "strike" moves are really helpful and very praised. Anyway, I just think this is pretty great.… Full Review »

Eventhough it was written by Larry Hama, the story feels lackluster and poorly executed. The port job is poor due to Activision setting another deadline in which LTI couldn't iron out all the kinks. Voice acting is solid for the most part (Mark Hamill being an odd addition to the X-Men franchise since he sounds sometimes like he doesn't care i.e. reading his lines) while the level design is unimaginitive at times. Wished LTI ported the real Spider-Man 2 instead.… Full Review »

    Some of the Boss Fights was ridicolousy chelenging back then.
