Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

This game is amazing. Game Informer said that the game was in development for 2.5 years and it shows. I have had several jaw dropping moments so far. I should finish it tonight or tomorrow, on my first run.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

How long does it take new games like this to go from Xbox Live Gold to Silver download status?
Bummed I can''t try it out yet?
When did MS start this crap, BTW?
Thanks for the info!

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

I finished the game on normal, all achievements except collect all dog tags and beat the game on hard. This was a fun game that started out simplistic, but got deeper as you leveled up. Using the different mutagens can really open up various strategies within gameplay. I started on hard now, tracking the dog tags as I go. This is a game anyone who enjoys action/fighting games should check out. I rented it, but even at full price, this one is worth grabbing.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

Playing the demo, I have to say this game is satisfying as hell to play. I won't buy it, as I think I can rent it and get through it in a week, but I really liked what I saw. I actually preferred it to the very little original God of War I played. That is thanks in no small part to me naturally caring more about the license.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

I ended up using my rain-check from Fry's and got this for $45. Totally worth it.

It's super fun and the constant upgrades keeps things from feeling too repetitive and do a good job at making it seem like you're progressing. It's really addictive and kinda tough to stop playing once you're on a roll. The only thing that got me to stop at first was a glitch; I was supposed to advance by leaping onto an enemy across a ledge, but the enemies were frozen and there was no one on the ledge for me to leap onto, so I had to quit. Good thing the glitch didn't re-occur.

At a supposed 15 hours, this is pretty chunky for such an action game.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

Hell yeah! I just cracked this open today. Damn fun game! I like how visceral some of Wolverine's moves are. Impaling enemies, lopping off arms, and counter-attacks are all really cool. I'm at a part where you have to use stealth elements and dodge turrets, which doesn't feel natural to me, but otherwise the combat is a blast. The boss fights are pretty cool too, especially slamming sabertooth down on a table in a bar brawl. Can't wait to see what the rest of the game has to offer!

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

I knocked out the last two achievements a couple days ago, getting the full 1000/1000. Fun game and I hope the sequel delivers a more varied experience with a deeper upgrade system.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

Love this game! i played for like 3 hrs yesterday so its really addicting.

I was stuck on the Weapon X Facility level where you had to dodge the laser turrets on the second floor of the room but realized there was a computer on the left that controls the shield and basically just move with it. Took me ages to figure out until i noticed the computer there.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

I suck. You guys blaze through these games in 1 day while I take forever to finish.

I'm stuck on
Spoiler:
the fuckin' African statues with the platforms. I got them to roll out and lower their platforms but I think I'm missing something since I can't cover the distance between the 2nd statue and the wooden platform. What am i doing wrong?

I literally just went through this part about 30 minutes ago.

Spoiler:
Once you unhinge both of the statues on the left side, you just use the wheel. From there you should just be able to double jump (why the hell did they give Wolverine a double jump anyway?) across the platforms, even the second one. The gap looks larger than it really is, but there should be enough clearance for Wolverine to latch onto the ledge of the wooden platform.

He can

double jump? I knew he could jump long distances while attacking enemies. Thanks. I'll try it.

I didn't notice those controls until I beat the turrets after many tries. You can get by them by dodging/rolling as well, but it's kind of a bitch.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

"I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do is double jump."

Right now I'm stuck on the part early in Stage 2 where

Spoiler:
there's a room where the ceiling slowly lowers on you. You have to turn a crank to open a door and get out, but there's a dog tag to grab along the way. I haven't been able to get the dog tag, turn the crank, and get through the door before the ceiling crushes me and I'm too stubborn to blow off the dog tag.

Jason, turn the crank, dash to the body, then dash through the door. You have to be kind of spot on, but it works.

I'll give that a try tonight. All the walkthroughs I read said you have to dash straight from the crank to the door, which means you have to grab the tag first, then backtrack to the crank.

I turned the crank, dashed to the corpse, then a quick dash through the door. I don't know if the time allotment changes on hard, but I used this method on hard and made it through with the tag on my first attempt. Has anyone heard news of any kind of DLC on this?

I ran over to the dog tag first, then cranked, then dashed out the door. I cut it so close the game hiccuped a little bit. I think it contemplated crushing me for a second.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

Hooray -- I got past that part -- grabbed the dog tag, ran back to the crank, and made it through the door.

I've also unlocked two of the bonus costumes (one of which was already unlocked due to having bought the game at Best Buy, but oh well). There's nothing quite like some Wolverine-on-Wolverine action.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

For those that played or are playing...how did you feel about some of the platform/puzzle aspects of the game? I found some of those bits to be a surprise, especially in a game like this, but they definitely changed the game up a bit which was nice since you mostly just tear people up non stop.

Re: Wolverine Demo=Not Bad At All

I really love them!

I still remember when I was listening MajorNelson's podcast and the produce was talking about how they wanted to created the best movie based game ever, the best Wolverine game, etc., etc. I was like "yeah, sure...". Then I started all the comments here and downloaded the demo. When I finished the demo I was really anxious since I wanted to keep playing. I got the demo a few days later.
I haven't had a lot of time to play, just finishing the first chapter and so far it has been a blast. I can't believe this game is so much fun. It surprised me a la Crackdown, not that they are similar, but I didn't expected too much of them.

Sentinel fight was pretty epic.
