Imagine capturing the psyche of Wolverine's lore on the go. Today I will be sinking my claws into X-Men Origins Wolverine for the PSP. For most, it is a memorable entrance into the handheld gaming world, offering players a chance to dive into one of Marvel’s iconic character’s past. As I review my reflections on X-Men Origins, it is important to also review all of its gameplay, narrative, and overall impact on the gaming landscape to understand why this game holds a special place in my heart.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine for PSP presented players with an action-packed experience, mixing components of hack-and-slash combat with platforming stages. One of the mechanics allows Wolverine to scale platforms with his claws. Players are also allowed to unleash Wolverine's trademark berserker rage. Rage can be gained by scuffling and tussling with enough opponents until the rage meter is full. Lasting long enough for 2-3 super-charged, satisfying attacks. The game also has various upgrades and abilities that players can unlock as they progress through the levels which enhances Wolverine's combat. It was enjoyable to see my character get stronger and stronger as the game progressed. Finally, let’s discuss what gives the game complexity: the platforming. The platforms feel like puzzle pieces. Requiring the player to navigate through obstacles, flooring, and buildings. It provided a new landscape and navigation route for each scene.
X-Men Origins Wolverine for PSP took direct inspiration from the earlier released film named... X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which I have yet to see, but my research indicates this movie explored Wolverine's past to how he became the Wolverine we know in the movies. As the player dives deeper into Wolverine's past, they meet and battle other iconic characters from Marvel, specifically the X-Men lore, such as Deadpool and Sabertooth. While the game's storyline reportedly followed close to the movie, I believe it also gave its own perspective by allowing players to experience memories from Wolverine's life firsthand by playing and choosing combat styles.
