X-Men Origins Wolverine Screenshots: Slaps, Chops

February 6, 2009 3:05 PM

Twelve new screenshots from Raven Software's PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine are seen below. The game has been described as a God of War-style brawler, complete with 40 levels for players to exercise their rage meters. With a Wolverine game on the way that has some potential of being successful, I can't help but recall the flawed but memorable 8 and 16-bit era attempts. LJN's thoroughly ugly NES title Wolverine. Western Technologies' Sega Genesis game X-Men--where, if memory serves, Wolverine's claws were actually temporary powers. And then came Electro Source's Wolverine: Adamantium Rage, with its satisfying claw mechanics but insane difficulty.

Where will X-Men Origins: Wolverine fall in the pantheon of Wolverine gaming? We'll know in May, when it's released alongside the film.

I recall wolverine's revenge as being somewhat amusing. If not stupidly difficult. To make up for the fact he was able to regenerate his health fully between fights, they made damn sure he nearly snuffed it in every single one of them.
