If the rent came out good (as an option - a potentially profitable) film, in his explanation, you can easily knock out the bad, but a profitable game - iron rule of business. And what if the sum opposite situation: hardly was serving until the end of the film, but the game can hardly tear himself away?
Well, if such cases are made of movie bosses thoughtful, but usually everything goes how it goes. Gamers are happy to gift unexpectedly, and the publisher can hardly see the difference in profits. The most glaring example - Chronicles of Riddick, the game surpassed and survived gave birth to her film. That's the subject of our today's conversation was more dynamic, exciting and claws than its progenitor.

Intro video gives the most accurate description of what awaits us in the next few hours: invulnerable James "Wolverine" Howlett (aka Hugh "I love to sing," Jackman), a non-stop action and maimed tens of commandos. Let's just set the record straight «i»: X-Men Origins - only fighting game, it's about how easily the metal dissecting the flesh, and the rest got there by pure chance. Acrobatics, puzzle "with boxes", the rudiments of the rail shooter - all this against the backdrop of bloody massacre, seems almost an insult. We fully understand that these elements are created for good purpose - to slightly dilute the thick sea of blood, which Logan knee - but they are much churning rhythm, and as a result of the player receives nothing, except anger. Therefore, quickly forget about the bad so bored and turn to for that game developers get their sweat and blood (someone else) has earned seven and a half points.
 | Secrets of His Majesty |
As the hero of every decent action-adventure, Wolverine and even pretends to be terribly busy and serious guy has a secret passion for collecting. He especially enjoys roughly tear tokens with deceased soldiers in slo-mo, for that he gets extra points for experience. If you find statues depicting the Logan, a special menu will duel mode. Cope with an opponent (for example, "a classic Wolverine") - will get his clothes and be able to show off a new (ie old) yellow-blue dress in the story campaign (alas, if all the videos, which pretended to be "scenes on the engine, would be exposed) . Also, the level of scattered upgrades health and mutagens. Incidentally, the authors love and make a joke: in the winter woods in one of the caves lies a skeleton with a towering above him a yellow exclamation point, and near the snow stuck a sword. Approaching - and get Achievement WoW!, Which reads: "you chills when you look at the skeleton and see the name of" Arthas "scrawled on the sword" (World of Warcraft regulars will understand). And in the same room, tucked away behind the teleport, you can find ... cake. It seems, GLaDOS did not disappoint.
«Thanks for a ride» That is, to Wolverine. Len Uenom and John Romita Sr. invented a character that perfectly meets the requirements of the comics industry in general and superhero standards, in particular: to be expressive and powerful, but extremely resistant to all attempts to cripple yourself. Done a hole right in the chest? It does not matter, the body heal in a few seconds. Thanks to the fantastic rate of regeneration, Wolverine chooses unconventional ways of solving problems - as a rule, injure themselves and others. For example, to detonate C4, to embed the blade in one hand energoschit and the other - right in the explosive charge. Yes, that's hero is the epicenter of the explosion, but that's done, and without delay! That is why the character Hugh Jackman at full speed bumps on a snowmobile into a rock, falling from a helicopter, catching breast missiles, uses himself as a torch - just always comes out the winner of a brutal bout with self-preservation instinct. Because he is inhumanly cool. Sometimes comes to the absurd: after a particularly grueling fights in Richard invariably torn shirt, bleeding, dotted with terrible wounds, through which is seen covered with adamantyl skeleton. Even the Terminator was not so tenacious! But opponents far less fortunate: the African natives with machetes, mercenaries, mutants and robots - all of them very quickly be on the ground, wholly or in part. Second, thanks to the detailed system damage and incredible silische Logan, happens much more often. The game is not shy about showing close-ups chopped enemies, writhing in agony, one without arms, one without legs, and a third and altogether there are not more than half.

The combat system modeled on God of War - the game, notorious for stimulating contractions. There is a slight kick, but fast, is strong, but slow. They can be combined with capture and with each other for many combos. When you press the right Shift appears access to the four specially strong attacks ("whirlwind", "drill", etc.), the cost scale of rage. Differences with GoW two. The first - rolls now committed two clamping Shift and tilt to the left arm, which is not very convenient, but can somehow control the camera. Second - branded long jump Wolverine (in addition also homing), in no time reducing the distance to the victim. This technique massacre in the room filled with enemies does not stop at any moment, even if the opponents choose not to look for trouble and stay away from the raging Logan.
Unfortunately, the carnage can pall if overused simple combos, and the notorious far-hop. Yes, and provided opportunities for developers are not very many - there is nowhere to turn mighty rosomashemu shoulder! If they really tried to make "the best action, would cost diversify combat situations and to add depth and consistency in the study intricacies of the battle.
| Reeling |
The game has a simple little character development. For each enemy killed or found token hero receives experience points. Gather enough - the rise in the level. With each level is given two points for skills that come to increase survivability, rage or power devices (you can not buy new). As you fight and defeat opponents of a certain type, you have produced some "immunity" for their attacks and advantages in battle - this is called "reflexes." Finally, collecting the scattered across the levels of glittering plaques, we will replenish their stock of "mutagen", which, being equipped with the one of the three slots give Logan the new ability: to get more experience behind victory, to increase the rate of regeneration, the more damage and so on.
 | |  | We tested PS3-version of the game refused to install on the HDD and essentially worked directly with the Blu-ray disc. Moreover, in some particularly busy fighting the frame rate dropped to record lows. Thank God, the battle is almost not interfere, but the mood still spoiled. In fairness, we note that it is not infallible and the Xbox-version, although podtormozhivaniya there are not so frequent and notable guests - provided that the game is copied to the hard drive console |
To top it all, here and there slip pesky bugs and errors, indicating that the developers do not have enough time: a body fall through the floor and walls, some of the Wolverines look clumsy, sounds and special effects allow themselves to quietly disappear. Plus, shimmering textures and eerie artifacts of video compression.
Grand Finale We are hopeful and expect the best fighter of spring. Not developed. Action and really came out great - with nice graphics and high-spirited fights, he only occasionally weakens the iron grip. But the rest of X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Game uncomplicated and straight as a stick, so is himself Wolverine. They are ideally suited to each other, is not it?
| Comment Artem Shorokhova |
Long time (how long has elapsed from the output of Heavenly Sword?) We did not spoil slasher with a claim to, if I may say so, "blokbasternost. Good were, and quite a few, but such that all taken into account, all as should be thought out in every corner of firecrackers and fireworks, so much so that more and play was interesting not only fans of the genre, and in general all lovers of action-movie ... Understand correctly, with giants like Gears of War 2, Resident Evil 5, Killzone 2, "Wolverine" has nothing to compare. Her weight category - projects, like Conan, The Bourne Conspiracy, Ninja Blade, or, if you like, Ninja Gaiden II. No games manifestos games breakthroughs or game-engines, but just ... game. Those for whom a pleasant evening or two, enjoying, first of all, the process itself. And here in this group of Wolverine is not just a good slasher, and downright slasher-blockbuster movie - loud, fast, exciting, but still capable of surprises, even when seemingly surprised a player is simply nothing. There are some films before watching that you do not expect soulful conversations that are not hoping for a thin plot, previously released screenwriter sins, go to the movies for the primitive emotions of the new dose of adrenaline for the show. This game - just the kind of movie. Anyway, this really believe the first half or two hours. Then - if someone pulls an invisible switch and pleasure is declining.Bloopers and minor bugs has become increasingly common theme of location are repeated with irritating regularity, stubborn adventure-elements cause a yawn, and the adrenaline spikes are becoming increasingly rare ... By the middle of the game is simply tired - the authors have long given up and as if they are just waiting when the hand over and finally you. By the finale once again gained momentum X-Men Origins: Wolverine recalls a sandwich, thickly spread with jam on both sides and completely bald in the middle. Are the hours of delight and three hours of moderate pleasures five hours on-call cleanings levels - you decide. If you like slasher or a Wolverine - attention to the game is worth paying mandatory. If love and slasher, and Wolverine, it will probably have to buy.
