X-Men Origins: Wolverine
So I played this game before I left for Maui. I guess both a distraction from how long it was taking to finally get to departure and my hopes that another game might just have hopes of being a good translation of the movie.
Well good news! It is not a decent translation of the movie, it actually should be seen instead of the movie. I have already voiced my displeasure of the movie train wreck, so it should be a understood surprise that this game delighted me. And the story was infinitely better. Still had the bullshit Deadpool character but at least it was a litle more palatable.
The combat moves were a real pleasure. Whoever worked on that needs more money thrown at them. I really am glad that the developers saw what the strength of the game needed to be, not a story we all already know, but in how the story was viscerally shown. And bow was it ever. Heads and limbs removed and blood liberally flowed by way of slashing claws. I really enjoyed seeing the damage that Logan took was literally shown on your character and then you could watch him reknit himself by keeping outta sight for a minute. A great job on that detail that only really got a bit of show in the movie.
My personal favorite bit of action was the fight against a freakin giant Sentinel. Wow.
So definately a game to play and even to buy.
