X-Men Origins: Wolverine
The X-Men Origins: Wolverine game has no right to be as good as it is. Not only was it a movie tie-in in the midst of the flood of bad licensed games getting churned out to capitalize on popular films, it’s also based on what is arguably the worst film in the X-Men film franchise (and those movies have a few stinkers). The Origins: Wolverine game, though, is a blast. Though it lacks the same depth as other character action games of the era, such as Devil May Cry, Raven Software’s take on Logan’s origin story has over-the-top style, frenetic combat, and a viciousness you don’t often find in Marvel games. There’s even an M-rated “Uncaged Version” that ups the gore to something you’d expect, considering Wolverine can just tear dudes to shreds. It kinda rules.
