The thing is, there are so many superhero games around that sometimes it's hard to choose the right game. For me this game was right enough, i like very much the character wolverine, and nothing can make you feel more like wolverine as this game, not even the so over rated and over priced marvel's ultimate alliance.

In this game you can sheath and unsheath the adamantium claws anytime in the game, you can use your heightened senses to do almost anything (is like using the force but amazingly better), you can track enemies looking for their footprints or smelling them, and the most amazing thing is that you can surprise them and slash them with incredible finishing moves. Great graphics (looks like a tony hawk game), the sound (well that is how i thought wolverine would heard), the voice acting is superb, the game is very simple yet very complex and has enough to keep you busy.

Why only 4 stars? well, i never wondered how hard was to be wolverine, well, i can tell you, it's hard, very hard indeed, but that is also good 'cause it gives you the feeling that you're a superhero but that you aren't inmortal, yes, you've the healing factor (amazingly orchestrated by the way) but mines, bullets and other deadly stuff are just that, deadly. I've read something in the other reviews that said that bosses were fun and easy, well, i can tell you that the first was quite hard and the second was frustrating (i won't tell you who it is without spoiling the game for you).

I just loved this game when i have played it on the pc a long time ago and i was in love with it, i couldn't advance in it 'cause the game was choppy at that time but maybe that was because of my computer (you know all that stuff about the proper video card, the proper ram...) and from my experience with need for speed i knew that this one has to be better on the ps2, and it is a lot better 'cause it doesn't have all the glitches of the pc game.

This is the game, i love this game, but i'm a wolverine die hard fan, i can tell you that hulk (any of the two) is a better game than this one and more elaborated, but being wolverine just like wolverine, well this game does it, you're logan, the wolverine, and you have with that all the stuff included, the superhero glorious moments and the suffering moments also. Just like that, it's a must have if you have at least one comic book of wolverine in your house or if you like the character. But one thing... the game is hard and sometime frustrating (4 stars for that on the fun).

Slice!

My favorite super hero is Wolverine and I really was looking forward to this game, it's Okay. The Fighting style is a bit boring and the only exiting moves are the finishing moves. After a fight it takes some time to heal depending on how much life that you lose: if it's mnimum, on average I'd say mabe about a few seconds, but if you're on the brink of death you'll have to wait a minute or two, or even five sometimes. THe bosses are fun and easy, but they start to get boring after a while. I would reeccomend this game for wolverine fans

This game is pretty hard & challanging. it took me almost an hour just to defeat Sabertooth. It is a fun game and it does get frustrating at times. There is this one level in act two where you can't get noticed or the game will be over, and that level is pretty hard. But i have enjoyed it so far. And i'm a big X-Men fan. So if you like the X-Men this will be a game that you'll like. And this game dosen't go buy the movie at all. Well if you rent it enjoy

Avg. game but cool at times

The Game is about wolverine and his virus. He try's to locate the 2 samples of the Anti-virus type A and B to save his hide. He goes through the game finding them whistle fighting very plain enimes, also fighting bosses such as magneto juggernaut and of course sabertooth. this game can some times make you think Ex: stealth and when to use it and moderitly easy puzzles. The graphics were OK. This game probly would not get a 5/5 due to clunky controls and the lock on mode (verry buggy) and hugging the walls(also buggy a couple of times I hugged a invisable wall) also hard to get off the walls when enimes saw me and started to attack. but there is alot of good things to like the stealth ability and stealth kills not much like wolverine but helps balincing a hack and slash. I also like that there is a unique way to kill every boss not just pound at them. The game is a bit repetitive sneak kill, sneak kill, hack and slash, hack and slash can get boring at times no reaply value (in my sense those are not "good Buys") if they had more time i'm sure it would have been a great game but it just barely made the mark meaning preatty avarage game. Recomended for die hard wolverine fans it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Wolverine's Revenge is a game in which you get to fight bad guys, activate switches, fight bosses, and, oh, fight more guys. The creators of WR were probably in a hurry to finish the game before X2 came out, and it seams somewhat unfinished.
The fighting in WR is repetetive and will get boring after a couple of hours. Once you hit someone, or someone hits you, you are locked in fighting mode until you can get out. It sometimes can be hard to do, and it gets very frustrating.
Perhaps the worst thing about this game is that is way to easy. Just fight some guys, find a corner to heal, and go on to the next bunch. I don't recomend this game, unless you are a huge Wolverine fan.

Game is for Gamers

This was a great game. Not meant for people who don't like challenges. You get to use all of Wolverines gifts, or curses, you decide. Heightened senses, healing powers, and wicked claws. Yeah all the villains look pretty much the same but why put a face on another kill? Would keep you up at night. Only part I didn't like was when you had to do stealth mode, because I am like Wolverine and I like to fight head to head and fight everyone around then look for more. Still a great game for pure fighters and FPS's even though it is 3rd person.

A game for developed tastes

Whether or not a gamer is going to enjoy Wolverine's Revenge is going to depend on what they want out of this game. One one hand, we have some great abilties to take advantage of, such as stealth mode and animal keen sensory mode. You also get to hear MArk Hamil (our own Luke Skywalker) doing the voice of Logan, as well as Patrick Stewart playing his part as Xavier. The storyline is basic, which isn't a bad thing, and there are alot of nice features (such as getting to change Logan's costume from 'Weapon X' to 'Movieverse' to 'Comic and Ultimate Comicverse') However, I will say that you have to be a true lover of Wolverine to feel like playing this piece was worth your time and effort.
The controls are complicated, though not as bad as they are for the PC version of this game. Also, the game doesn't always remain true to the character of Wolverine. There's far more sneaking around than there is actual fighting, and you learn quickly that, Healing factor or not, it's pretty easy to die. I played it all the way through, because I have been a close follower of Wolverine since I was a child, and couldn't pass up an opportunity to theorically "be" him for a while, but if a gamer is playing this for the sake of Game quality, they may find themselves disappointed.

I am a big fan of X-men, and especially Wolverine. I saw this game at the movie rental store. I played it for hours. The story line is great. The fighting sequences were awesome. There are a wide variety of attacks that you can execute on your enemies. You can punch, kick, slide tackle, low kick, and of course slice em' up with your adamantium coated claws. You can use your heightened senses to track enemies. When Wolverine retracts his claws, his automatic healing factor kicks in. It takes quite a while to completely heal. There are also health pick ups through out the game. The Boss levels are really challenging. This is definetly one of my favorite games for the Playstation 2. I hope this review is helpful.
