This game is great! The graphics are pretty well defined, for GBA and Wolverine's movements are really fluid and, well, cool-looking ;-).

The story begins in Canada, with Wolverine searching for clues about his past. As the plot thickens and danger threatens the X-Men, he continues his quest/battle in other settings, such as Japan, underground bases, a mysterious island and Magneto's secret fortress. He encounters enemies such as Sabertooth, Pyro, Omega Red and Shiva robots, along with standard ninjas and guards. It's quite challenging, but not frustratingly impossible.

What I really love about this game is the way Wolverine moves. He slashes up his enemies in many different ways, from every direction. As he progresses, he becomes capable of somersaulting in mid-air, climbing up the walls, clinging to the ceiling, sliding and attacking from mid-air at super-speed. He can also regenerate (but only when his claws are sheathed) and, if he lashes out several times in a row, he can work himself into a bestial rage, thereby enhancing his attacks. So Wolverine's moves are pretty sophisticated and developped.

All in all, it's a great game, with a lot of action.

AWESOME

This is my first X-Men game. So far, I've beaten the first two levels and this game is great. It's definitely worth the money.

Solid mutant fun for the GBA

Released around the time X2: X-Men United hit theaters, X2: Wolverine's Revenge focuses on the adamantium clawed mutant berserker as he makes a trek across Canada to learn more of his forgotten past. With telepathic help from Professor Xavier, you guide Wolvie through a horde of enemy ninjas and guards before taking on level bosses like Pyro, Shiva, Deathstrike, and of course, Sabretooth and Magneto. The graphics are typical side scroller fare, but everything is animated nicely, while the sound effects are decent as well. The control handles easily for the most part, and Wolverine's moves are nicely translated from the comics to the game, and his regeneration ability is nicely utilized as well. There's nothing wrong with X2: Wolverine's Revenge for the GBA as this version is better than it's home console bretheren, but once you beat it, there's nothing else left to do. If you're a Wolverine fan, comics or movies, and you can find this cheap then pick it up, just don't expect much more replayability out of it once you beat it.

One of the best games ever!!!!!!!

it's a bit too hard even if you put it on Easy mode. However, the game do have features that makes it stand out. The designs of the environments are nice and clean. The way wolverine slashes and cling to the wall makes you think of the X-men movie that's because that's exactly how wolverine moves! I think this would've been a perfect game if it wasn't too hard and if only you don't hear those alarm sounds that come off on almost each stage of the game, it gets really annoying at times.

Looks Like Wolvie Fell On His Claws

The X-Men apparently exist in a world without stairs. Not in the entire game will you see a staircase, a stair, or anything that could be interpretted as one. Apparently, everyone in the world can either fly, or climb walls. Actually, so much time is spent climbing walls, you could mistake Logan as Spider-Man. But that's not why I gave Wolvie's Revenge 3 stars out of three. I gave it three stars for:
A) Poor story-line-- Logan has a terminal virus that will kill him in two days (48 hours) if he doesn't find the cure. From there on out, until the very end of the game, you basically forget that, being more occupied with retrieving keycards, fighting stupid, color-coded AI, and screaming with frustration as buzz-saws dice up our pointy friend. The game tries to distract you with small little comic-book-like segments at the beginning and end of levels, but they're so short that you basically forget they occured. At one point, the X-Mansion is invaded by Omega Red and a horde of his lackeys, both human and cheap droid imitations. You must rescue five "mutants" (All girls. I suppose the developers think they're weak or something. Get 'im, Jeanie) who are kneeling in remote corners of the stairless X-Mansion, completely helpless. Once Logan touches them, however, they teleport away. Stupid time-filling tasks like that irk me to no end.
B) Horrible dialog. Yeah, Mystique, Wolverine's going to go and cry because you called him a fool. ???
C) Annoying bosses. It sometimes takes a glitch to evade their fire-rings, adamantium tentacles, etc.
But on the pro side, Wolvie boasts very pretty graphics, awesome music (very eerie), and it's just fun to slash people up with your claws, even if there isn't any blood (darn). If only the game had some stairs. Or an elevator would be nice.
