    A movie-based game that is well done and relatively problem free? X-Men Origins: Wolverine is definitely one of the more pleasant surprises of the year.

    I'd say it's a perfect rental, considering the run time of about 6-8 hours, and definitely worth picking up once a price drop kicks in.

    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.

    While X-Men Origins: Wolverine has some nice features, it ultimately can’t shake its mediocre gameplay.
  5. Play UK

    Perhaps the greatest achievement here is the way the gameplay evokes the sensation of being Wolverine.
  6. DarkZero

    It has its flaws, and is by no means the perfect game, but it is the perfect Wolverine-simulator, at least for the time being.
  7. Playstation Official Magazine UK

    Then there's the visual sadness, which includes duff lighting, awkward cameras, and the stuttering Zoetrope-style framerate. [June 2009, p.98]

    Action titles need not reinvent the wheel every outting. Judging Origins against itself, it performs supremely well as a slash-em-up game. Action titles need not reinvent the wheel every outting. Judging Origins against itself, it performs supremely well as a slash-em-up game. Forget the monotony of sandbox-style play. Get in. Feel what it's like to be Wolverine. And get out. That's all you need. A rental for those who crave depth. A buy for fans who want to have a blast. Snickt-snickt!… Expand

    This is one of the worst piece of garbage, cheap, cop-out games I have played in a vary long time. The combat is as good as it's going This is one of the worst piece of garbage, cheap, cop-out games I have played in a vary long time. The combat is as good as it's going to get from the start, so there's really no reason to continue playing the game. The graphics are extremely sub-par. The boss fights are absurd. It's infuriatingly repetitive, and there is just no excuse to make a game that is this bad today. There's no excuse...… Expand
