X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition
_X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Uncaged Edition)_ is the release for Xbox 360,
PlayStation 3 and PC and differs greatly from the version for Wii, PlayStation
2, PSP and NDS which is just called X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
The game follows the story of the movie of the same name detailing the
background of Logan aka Wolverine before he joined the X-Men. Starting on the
last mission of the elite military force known as Team X, the player witnesses
Kayla’s death, escapes from Weapon Factory X with his new reinforced skeleton
and ultimately helps Wolverine to have his revenge on Victor Creed aka
Sabretooth. In between dozens of enemies including a few boss fight require
extensive use of the famous steel blades. Wolverine makes use of several
different combos and finishers while slashing through his enemies converting
his normal light and hard attacks into serious damage. Often it’s even
possible to incorporate the environment into the cause of death of an enemy by
throwing him onto a spike or something similarly hurtful. The player has also
access to four Fury Attacks. These attacks are very powerful but require rage
in order to be executed. Rage on the other hand is collected simply by killing
enemies. In addition the game makes use of Quick Time Events to unfold
scripted cinematic sequences.
By killing enemies Logan gains experience points (including a multiplier if he
defeats them in rapid succession) as well as by finding dog tags hidden on
dead soldiers around the levels. Once he has gained enough experience
Wolverine advances a level, gaining not only more health but also skill
points. These can then be used to learn new combos or increase the strength of
already known ones. Besides the dog tags, Wolverine’s old suits from the
comics are hidden in the levels. Finding all of them unlocks bonus challenges
and allows the player to use the corresponding suit in the normal game.
