That’s exactly what stops this title from being a masterclass. Starting from a ten leaves you with nowhere to go or any means of upping the stakes. Here’s the issue with the approach of all-out action. It’s small details like this that really along you to feel like Wolverine.
Take an explosion for example, this will blow all the flesh off Logan’s arm, revealing his adamantium skeleton and will heal if you rest and find cover. This is rendered in an amazing level of detail. If the player takes too much damage or eats too many bullets, you’ll see that in all its gory glory.
This gritty realism transfers to more subtle areas of the presentation too. This is Wolverine though, it’s the perfect fit for this monstrously powerful mutant. It seems like an over the top blood bath and perhaps with any other character it wouldn’t work. You’ll be hacking off limbs, beheading bad guys and literally tearing guys in half if given the chance. The player will have these same moves in their repertoire when given full control of Logan. Players will not only witness some of the most visceral cut scenes within the series. Though, this title brings the authentic Wolverine, giving players the tools to be the most violent, brutal and gory versions of the animalistic, bladed assassin. Making him a child-friendly and diluted version of the clawed mutant. In previous X-men and Wolverine specific outings, developers have diluted the true nature of the character.
