X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Tie-in games are often cheap cash-ins, and given the poor reception the film got, you’d be forgiven for assuming this game isn’t worth your time. The irony is that this Wolverine game is arguably the closest you’ll get to feeling as badass as the character himself. Unlike the movie, this video game adaptation is seriously gory and really brings to light just how bloody fighting with claws would be. This is not one you want to let your kids play.
Featuring the voice and likeness of Jackman, the game mainly follows the plot of the film but goes into more detail, adds a few new locations and characters, and also allows you to unlock costumes from eras gone by. What’s great about this game is that it really allows you to feel as powerful as Wolverine is. Normal goons with guns pose no real threat to you and your healing factor and so the game will occasionally dish out a seriously tough enemy to remind you that while Logan is tough as nails, he’s not invincible. The healing factor is perfectly done. As you take take damage, Logan’s clothes and flesh will start to come away until you can see his bones and organs. Give him a chance to heal and you can then watch as his body regenerates in real time.
