[@RGBtheRhinoOverwatcher]

@@fertilebeef802 Pros: Darker tone like Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Suspense and awesome story-telling. Incredible voice acting from Mark Hamill and Patrick Stewart. Creepy soundtrack. The PlayStation 2 version is considered the lead-development platform besides GameCube and Xbox and the best version of the game. Intense boss-fights. It is followed by a superior and violent well-done Wolverine tie-in game for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC (as well as toned-down versions for Wii and PS2). Cons: Most enemies of the game are the same. The difficulty of the game is very hard and there's no difficulty selection unlike Spider-Man (2000). The sound of the enemies were annoying and repetitive. Lack of mid-level checkpoints. Despite featuring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine on the box-art and hint that it's a tie-in to the X2 film, but it's actually based on the comic book X-Men and he was voiced by Mark Hamill. No sequel to the game despite there's a sequel-bait ending featuring Apocalypse; in fact, the game sold poorly due to mediocre reception from critics upon release.

I was stoked to come across this game back in the 2000s. I wasn't even aware of the X-Men universe until I saw Hugh Jackman's X-Men on cable TV. Then the cartoon channels began running the X-Men series, which was a real struggle between my parents wanting to watch things they wanted to, stupid school homework, and electrical failures. So eventually when I did play this game on a budget, it really was frustrating, yet appealing in a way. All these experiences made me feel sympathetic to the mutants in the X-Men universe who suffered identity crises, homelessness, battling other mutants, battling other humans, and boss villains.

ZPB Studios Maybe there’s a reason it’s hard to find a positive review of X2 haha I don’t dislike it because it’s hard, I dislike it because it’s _bad_ , which is what _makes it_ hard, at least imo. Jak 2 and SMB are two of my favorite games ever as well, and yes they’re difficult, but that’s because they were put together with care and polish, and were designed to be challenging. X2 is challenging because it LACKS good design; you’re constantly struggling against the trial-and-error format, the bad checkpoints, the confusing and uninformative level design, the awkward tank controls and the half-baked combat. I so wish I could still enjoy this game, I want to love it as much as I used to, but playing this game in 2019 was a freakin’ slog and a half for me haha.

@@Soron661 What about the forgotten light gun game from 2004? The game was a sleeper hit and was developed by the company of Big Buck Hunter games and has akimbo feature and the cutscenes was a comic-book styled, the title was Action Hero and was published by the company of redemption games that also had a deal with a BBH company for Pink Panther video redemption platforming game as well as Monopoly video redemption party game with spinner controls and Ice Age: Ice Breaker video redemption "hit-a-nut" game.

I remember attempting to play this in 2004 and it ran like crap on my PC so I debated sticking it out and powering through the issues. Thankfully around that time a little ditty of a game called Half-Life 2 was released and I went that route instead. Talk about dodging a bullet. I debated giving this a go again recently as well (already played every other X-Men game I could get my hands on) and luckily this came up and dissuaded the fuck out of that. Also just wanted to say I loved this video. The pacing, editing, humor, basically the whole shebang entertained, informed, and cracked me the fuck up. Now that my rambling is over it's time to binge watch your back entire catalog! (insert maniacal laughter here)

Dude this game rocks!!!!! Original Wolverine game

I remember loving this game as a kid too but I never did beat it fully. Loved your review it was absolutely perfect. You had me cracking up thru the whole thing.

This video was so entertaining man, I’d like to hear your thoughts on other marvel games like Iron man 1 or hulk ultimate destruction.

I’ve been subscribed for years and this is the first time I’m seeing this video. Clearly the X-men 97 popularity has blessed you in the algorithm and I’m happy for that

[@basedbattledroid3507]

This game is great but it has the same flaw as X-Men Origins where it goes from larger levels to just a sequence of boss battles. Not enough people have heard of it but I like this game, it's not as difficult with the one helpful cheat. I even found it harder than X-Men Legends (without using Danger Room). Soundtrack is lit too.

[@RGBtheRhinoOverwatcher]

Purposeless Rabbitholes the Wolverine's Revenge game has serveral differences: on the GameCube, Xbox, and Windows version of the game, the music is normal speed, but on the PlayStation 2 version of the game, the music is speed up, probably due to audio issues.

[@Flayne009]

What other Wolverine game is there? X2 was good for its time. The combat was good and there were a ton of different outfits and collectible comics iirc.

The begining of this game until the Wendigo fight was like a horror game to me when I was a kid, it give me nightmares of those monsters in the x weapon factory. but the game is awesome the stealth mechanics. I hope they make some stealth mechanics in the new Insomaniac Wolverine game

Yeah, it would have made your review less negative.

[@RGBtheRhinoOverwatcher]

@@zpbstudios9551 The game like Spider-Man (2000) plays really like Rayman 2: The Great Escape for the N64/Dreamcast, except darker and edgier facility places light-hearted fairy world, Wolverine places Rayman, Weapon X/The Void soldiers places robo pirates, and "Dog tags" places "Lums".

Maybe I need to replay the game. I don’t remember stealth being that bad. I remember it felt pretty scripted how they set up the stealth opportunities in a row

I geniuniely love this game. It's damn broken, but I'll do at least one playthrough of it every year. I was a little sad that you didn't take the time to show the more elaborate takedowns (Circle-Triangle combinations in the PS2) because they make him look like an absolute effing ninja, especially when taking down three guys.

[@saisameer8771]

@@smithwesson1896 I did. Honestly, while i liked the movie it really wasn't as great as i thought it would be. It was actually kinda disappointing. Also, i see Hugh Jackman's Wolverine as simply a different interpretation on the character. While I never really read the comics, I did watch the x men animated series and x men evolution and Wolverine in them is much different from the movie versions.
