If that’s a deal breaker, let me pull you right back in - you can jump on helicopters, pull the pilot out, and hold them up to the propellers to decapitate them. Therefore, people who perhaps care slightly too much about Fox’s X-Men saga that long overstayed its welcome regard the game as non-canon. The game instead focuses on the action, spending longer in the bloody explosions of battles and less time on nonsense like character development and narrative heart.Īs a result, it diverges slightly from the events of the movie in order to set up more action sequences and boss encounters. While the plot is related to Origins' themes, most of the Wolverine film is spent on his life as Logan, with Kayla Silverfox by his side.
It also begins with Wolverine’s mission in the jungle after all the interesting war stuff I mentioned earlier. It follows the path of a typical movie tie-in, which is to say it’s a vague retelling in terms of key narrative sequences, but the story of each scene is a very loose interpretation of how it went down in the film, and the plot itself differs quite a bit. But please trust me when I say X-Men Origins: Wolverine was the exception to the rule. I played enough of them myself, and I know. Plus, tie-in games as a whole tend to be bad.
Liev Schreiber was a great addition to the X-Men canon, and the opening montage of Wolverine fighting in every major American war was far cooler than literally anything the X-Men movies ever did from that point on, but I get it.

Yeesh. Origins was a pretty average movie, and at the time easily the worst X-Men film. If you’re even the tiniest bit excited for Wolverine, go back and play Origins. My first thought when I saw Insomniac’s Wolverine game revealed at this week’s PlayStation Showcase was “ohmyfuckinggodtheymadeawolverinegamewhattheshit!”, but my second was “huh, I wonder if X-Men Origins: Wolverine is on Game Pass.” Unfortunately it’s not, so you’ll have to shell out dozens of pennies for an Xbox 360 or PS3 copy to experience it, but I promise you, it’s worth it.
