Get ready for the finest Marvel adventure to date on your PS2! This is the game that all you true believers have been waiting for - a chance to play everyone's favourite adimantium laced, cigar chomping, slicing and dicing mutant Wolverine in his very own game - 'X-Men2, Wolverines revenge'.Do not let the title worry you. This is not some shamelessly dissappointing movie tie in (Spiderman the movie?) but an origional X-Men adventure.The story goes that during the operation to insert his adamantium claws and skeleton at the hands of the nefarious department H, the Weapon x programmes also installed a failsafe in all of their subjects - the deadly Shiva virus.Switch to present day and Wolverines virus has just become full-blown active and he has but 48 hours to find a cure or die!Wolverines adventures take him to several well known locations in the X-Men universe. The opening level provides a prequal as you recreate Wolverines escape from Weapon X many years ago. Other locations include 'the void' maximum security mutant prison and 'return to department H.Wolverines list of enemies is also impressive and includes his arch nemesis Sabretooth, Wendigo, Juggernaut, Magneto and Lady Deathstrike. Each enemy has a unique way in which they can be defeated which is not always obvious at first.Graphically the game is brilliant, it doesnt attempt the 'realistic' graphics of other movie tie ins but rather adopts a 'cartoon' feel that looks straight out of the comic book. The sound is also spot on. Voice acting for Wolverine is provided by Mark Hammil of StarWars fame and he is suprisingly excellent in this role. The musical score is atmospheric and sound effects include all of those you would expect as well as a satisfying 'snikt' each time you pop your claws!The game includes several 'must have' aspects of wolverines character including his healing factor, unbreakable bones which allow you to fall from any height without injury as well as the ability to combat enemies with or without your adamantium claws. Perhaps most pleasing however are wolverines 'senses'.Pressing the L1 button will activate these senses and Wolverines world will change to one where he can see thermal footprints on the floor, vapour trails, infrared beams and tripwires, camera beams and other traps. These senses can be used along with a 'stealth' mode which allows Wolverine to navigate his environment and dispatch his enemies undetected, a pleasing addition that reminds us what an effective killer the character is.Throughout the game Wolverine will collect dog tags which allow the player to unlock hidden concept art, alternate costumes and character profiles all of which can be viewed from the main menu. There is also a jukebox and movie viewer availible.This game has very few weak points, however camera angles can on occasion ruin gameplay and some levels are so criminally hard that they will have you hurling the joypad down in frustration. Do not let this disuade you though as 'Wolverines Revenge' is a brilliant, challanging, visually pleasing game which is a pleasure to play and is guaranteed to keep you occupied for a long while.

Taking on a distinctly comic-book style of graphics and a storyline linking into themes of the new film, X2, Wolverine's revenge takes you into the history of Wolverine, which explains a lot for newcomers to his history. The game is a combination of stealth/strategy and a 3D beat-em-up where you utilize Wolverine's mutant abilities to uncover the past and cure yourself of a deadly virus. The game starts of fairly simple, you fight your way past guards or choose a more stealthy option. Later on missions are geared towards one or the other, giving a variety in game play and ensuring you won't get bored. The only fault I've found since I bought it was that dieing results in restarting the mission,

As a huge fan of Marvel comics I nearly died with anticipation when I heard that this title was set for release. When it arrived and I got the chance to play it I have to say that it was the best game I have ever played.If you're in any doubt as to what it is like then it is just like Metal Gear Solid, except you take control of an adamantium laced psychopath. The action is none stop and is engrossing for all action fans as you can play it stealthilly or not depending on your preferance. The fact that you play as the greatest comic character created adds more to the fact that it is a great game anyway for anyone.In conclusion if you are a fan of the X-men you need this game,

Combining both action and a decent storyline, which you would expect considering the bygone plots of the comic and movie world! And for once I have very little to gripe about which is a pity. The controls and camera angles are as sleek as the graphics with brilliant combo moves available once you dislocate your thumbs slightly! Not to mention the added entertainment of standing for hours in a corner sheathing and unsheathing your claws just for the "ca'ching" sound! But its not just action its reaction also, your heavily engaged in the environment and how you handle certain situations through stealth or feral carnage will dictate the outcome of your little life or death quest through the

The action begins with Wolverine breaking free of captivity in a top secret laboratory and leads him into a fight for his life where he must successfully find an antidote to prevent his death. The gameplay is slick and the graphics great. A range of special moves that develop as your skills improve and the added special features mean that the game does have an extended lifespan. A good, if slightly complicated storyline for non-comic/x-men enthusiasts but the action and fighting makes up for this. Add the fact that you can perform stealth attacks and use your mutant senses to sniff out tracks and you have got an action-packed adventure game that requires some level of thinking and not just

When I first saw previews of this game I was a little apprehensive, as the previous X outings have been below average. However I have to say this game rocks! The first part of the game acts as a nice intro to the character, story and controls/powers of Wolvie. From here you progress to see some old favs (Sabertooth, Wendigo, Magneto!) and go to some great looking locations. You also get help from some of the X-Men (Prof X voiced by Patrick Stewart himself!, and who could forget Beast). If your a fan of the comic or just a X-men movie fan, you will enjoy this hack and slash(and stealth) adventure into the life of everyones fav X-Man.

The story is simple, Wolverine has been infected with a virus by the people who turned him into a killer in the first place. He has 48 hours to track down a cure or he's going to be one dead mutant. The game starts with a prologue featuring Wolverine's escape from Department H, and keeps getting more action packed from there. By the end, you will have faced many of Wolverine's major foes and had a great time doing so. Great graphics and gameplay, X-Men 2 Wolverine's Revenge should be clawing its way up the charts. AWESOME!

As the title suggests, this is a brilliant game, for both dedicated x-men fans and people who have never heard of them! The stealth kills feature is really good and the use of wolverine's ability to follow scent trails and thermal footprints is a nice touch. Having said this, the later levels are very hard, especially the magneto fight which I found near impossible! Still, an excellent game, well worth buying
