The X-Men Origins Wolverine Game Everyone Loves

Crazy how some of the best damage modelling in video game history was put into a movie tie-in for a pretty unremarkable movie. That's passion from the devs right there.

Raven used everything they learned about slashes leaving marks on the environment and enemy dismemberment from making the Jedi Knight games on Wolverine and it's great.

Man I wish I lived in a universe where this game became absurdly successful, with sequels

The only time Hugh Jackman ever got to give Wolverine fans the violent, unhinged, animalistic version of Wolverine that they all wanted.

Its amazing how this game not only had a much better plot than the movie but did a proper job representing Wolverine's violent nature before Logan did.

This game's secret strength is length. The game is short. But there's enough content for a good 6/7 hours playthrough that ends - AT THE RIGHT TIME. Some games nowadays do not end when they should. By the Deadpool fight, the player has gotten pretty much every upgrade they care about & only just getting tired of the combat.

4:32 Hugh Jackman being good at projecting his voice outward makes extra sense when you remember he started in theater.

It’s an underrated gem. Legitimately better than the movie itself.

Fun fact, which might explain why a lot of this game is so different from the movie. If I recall correctly. The team behind this were already making their own Wolverine game. Like it was in development for a while, and by the time the movie was coming out, they just slapped the rights of the movie on the game, in the hopes it would sell better. Course I'm positive it made the devs have to switch and change a couple things to better tie into the movie. But if I'm correct, then it kinda explains why this tie in game is pretty high quality for what it is. Comments correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's right.

The Deadpool game is like the goofy younger brother of this game. A lot more cartoony, but still a ton of fun and violence.

Best intro of 2024

I still remember so well when this game was released the cutscenes were unbelievable, specially the one where wolverine is hiding and he attacked the soldiers

This era of gaming was so good, I was busy with other games and originally overlooked this gem. Very glad to see it get some attention now, as it still holds up well!

Watching wolverine’s healing factor work in real time after nearly dying never got old

Well, yes It Is. It was supposed to be a proper Wolverine game but then, that movie came out which is why the story feels all over the place. Did anyone found the cake?

This game still holds up. Found a copy online last year and it’s still as fun as I remember it being. The upcoming Wolverine game better have a damage and regeneration system similar to this one.

i loved how the gore looked in this game it was crazy for its time

Always Nerdy made a good video on the background of this game one of the reasons it’s so good is because Raven was initially already developing a Wolverine game that would’ve been closer to the comics it didn’t become a movie tie in until later like instead of Africa the jungle portion of the game was going to be the Savageland

It’s always such a great feeling when a movie game not only captures the epic nature of the film, but even goes beyond that

Played through this recently I don't think I've ever smiled as wide as I did before playing this
