For a movie tie in game and for a movie tie in game based on a weak movie at that, it's pretty good. It's a better licensed God of War clone than Star Wars the Force Unleashed was.
But mannnn, does it have soooooooooo many bi products of being a movie tie in game, tons of reused levels and enemies, a story that is really hard to follow and lacking in any investment, and how levels feel stretched out because well, it's not an original story, its based on a movie. I really started to groan hard when I had to fight the Wendigo Prototypes for the 10th time. The game is still fun but the more the game went on, the more I just wanted it to end. The Sentinel Lab was the easily the best level in the game, and it really felt like the game could've really been good on it's own merits than a fun movie tie in game. The ending of the game was the most interesting part of the story too. It really is fascinating how many God of War styled games that came out over the the 7th gen and while I like some of them, including this game, none of them ever really reached GOW.It's just a shame that Raven never got to make their own Wolverine game like the devs of Hulk and Spider-Man did. The fan service the game has to the comics is really nice. The loading screens giving tons of random trivia lol. I even first learned of Magneto ripping Wolverine's adamantium out because of this game. It mentions the Ultimate Comics too. Really got to wonder where the Insomniac Game will go. I enjoy this game, but I say the Deadpool game is better than this. I recently beat Guardians of the Galaxy and that is also better overall.
Despite all the flaws, I have a soft spot for this game mainly because it predates Logan with a whole darker "mature content" on screen depiction of Wolverine.
