X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Uncaged Edition (Xbox 360, 2009)

The game is fun and different attacks that you can use makes it entertaining. It sticks to the movie's storyline but also has more added to it to keep the game fun to play. The only downside is that sometimes you have to fight the same enemies over and over again. They are time consuming to beat and it gets a little repetitive.

Game is a third-person slash and hack. It takes place after getting the adamantium claws. The timeline is a mix between the movie before disbanding the team of mercenaries and the actual comic character. The game is ultra cool and very violent. Not for kids under 8 I would suggest. Its so fun to try all the moves with Wolverine. You can see the damage to Wolverine in real-time and the wounds heal while playing. It can be repetitve game play but still worth every penny.

I would actually rate this as Very Good but Excellent will fit the bill.

The graphics are awesome and the action is INTENSE. I would not recommend this "UNCHAINED" version for anyone under the age of 14ish. Wolverine decapitates, dismembers and halves his opponents.

The "slow-mo" feature is wicked cool. It is stunning how and when the action "breaks".

At times it seems to be the same kill some one, go to another area, kill some one, repeat until they are dead but...this game has flashbacks that at first are a tad confusing but they are that seemless. You need to pay attention to the bottom of the screen after completing missions and objectives.

The creativity of moves with the controller needs to be reviewed in the pause menu area. Almost any button/trigger combination is used and repeated button pressing and random key sequences provide Wolverine with almost unlimited options for "opening a can" on foes.

If you've seen the movie, this game follows the same story line except it fills in the details that weren't or couldn't be shown. What happened in Africa? What were the circumstances of how they found Logan in Canada and the sequence of events? At the Alkalai (sp?) Lake facility, how did Logan manage to escape? What "secrets" could he have discovered while there? (When on this level, make sure you check out all of the laptop "log" information!) Was Wolverine the only one at the facility?

Even with my limited time to play this game on a daily basis, it is time well spent.

Double thumbs up recommendation for this game! If folks are watching you play, have them grab some popcorn and a drink because this is far better than the movie!!

X-Men Origins Wolverine is a surprisingly good game (it's surprising because it's a movie-game! and it's good!) First, not for younger gamers, there's blood with every guy you kill. Combat is awesome, and makes you want to play over and over again. Graphics are nice, sound could be better, but overall gameplay is great. The Wolverine in this game makes the Wolvie in the other games look like a cat, no kitten, no kitten poop. Great game!

While being fairly repetitive in terms of enemy types and combat, X-men:Origins never failed to be an entertaining and fairly lengthy experience. The graphics (especially the Hugh Jackman character model) are good and it addicting trying to find all of the different power ups/hidden costumes. It's especially satisfying seeing Wolverine knit himself back together after particularly severe beatings though those are few and far between because the game tends to be on the easy side.

Note to parents: Xbox 360/PS3 versions of the game are extremely violent.
