X2: Wolverine's Revenge

If I had a chance to play this during the years I was a complete Wolverine fanatic I would have passed out from pleasure overload. No kidding... This is the one of the finest comic book games to date.

There are enough secrets in here to keep you busy for at least another play through. Add that to the list of characters from the comic books and you’ve got yourself a great buy.

It's not so much that the enemies are hard to kill, or that the simplistic level design inflicts any brain-bending puzzles, but more that the inherent trial-and-error style progression through the levels gets tedious to the point of removing all the fun from playing.

It’s difficult to knock Wolverine’s Revenge too much because it does offer some neat ideas, but unfortunately GenePool has seemingly forgotten about the fundamentals and left us with little to get excited about after the brief initial interest.

The game's complete lack of refinement and polish... renders all of its strengths irrelevant. [June 2003, p.112]

A decent story and some excellent stealth-based play prevent Revenge from sinking head-long into a hole of suck. [June-July 2003, p.95]

The combo-heavy action sequences are tedious, the stealth controls are sloppy. [June 2003, p.54]
