===Uncaged Edition===
The ''Uncaged Edition'' was released exclusively for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. ] addressed a major deficiency of previous Wolverine video games: their lack of a regeneration factor, by creating a progressive damage system. When Wolverine sustains injuries the damage will be reflected on his character as chunks of his flesh and clothes are removed, and his injuries will heal in real-time, allowing you to see his muscles and skin grow back.<ref name="devblog-qa1">{{cite web|url=http://www.uncaged.com/en/news_comments/raven_qa_volume_1/ |title=Raven Q&A: Volume 1 |date=2009-03-07 |publisher=] |accessdate=2009-05-19 |first=Dan |last=Vondrak}}</ref> Layers of skin and muscle are peeled back to eventually reveal his adamantium skeleton. Wolverine also possesses enhanced feral senses, which can be used in a variety of ways, such as solving puzzles, revealing hidden escape routes, and finding weak points in opponents.


Combat relies on three options - light attacks, heavy attacks, and grabs, mapped to one button apiece - but doesn't ask players to memorize long combo strings. Another form of attack is the lunge, which allows Wolverine to quickly close the distance between him and an enemy. Not only can Wolverine dispatch enemies via his variety of attacks, he can also use the environment to his advantage, such as impaling foes on spikes. During combat, Wolverine's rage meter begins to build up, and when full allows him to unleash more deadly, devastating attacks, like the claw spin and a berserker mode.<ref name="devblog-qa1" /> While in berserker mode, Wolverine's eyes and claws will glow red.

===PlayStation 2 & Wii===
The PS2 and Wii versions are less graphic, with almost no blood and gore, less language and slightly different combat. Feral senses are still obtained, which can detect doors, traps, enemies and sentinel observers. Lunges do not have the same range, and must be performed at closer distances. They can be repeated, useful for things such as ascending elevator shaft, or fleeing to safety. Blob cards are featured as tokens, which gives the player a rematch with Frederick Dukes / Blob. Rage mode is still implied. XP is collected from defeating enemies, completing mission, defeating all enemies, destroying all turrets, and defeating bosses within five minutes. The XP is used to freely purchase upgrades. Dr. Trask and Darkholme are not in the game. Instead of Leviathans, Mark I Prototypes and W.E.N.D.I.G.Os as random bosses, Giants and Gambit's henchmen are bosses. The life bars of bosses are bars at the bottom of the screen instead of bars at the top right in the Uncaged Edition. The bars also don't have blood splatter. The menus are hi-tech, instead of bloody main menus.


==Synopsis==
===PlayStation Portable===
The story is a combination of the ] (voiced by ])<ref name="Jackman">{{cite web |last1=Cameron |first1=Gordon |title=Jackman Sharpens His Claws On Wolverine Game |url=http://videogames.yahoo.com/celebrity-byte/hugh-jackman/1308738 |website=] |access-date=July 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090501191034/http://videogames.yahoo.com/celebrity-byte/hugh-jackman/1308738 |archive-date=May 1, 2009 |date=April 24, 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref> backstory explored in the ] and an original plot created by ],<ref name="GameProReview" /> which was influenced by major events in the X-Men comic series.
The game has similar graphics to the PS2 and Wii version. There is little blood. Combat has no differences from the PS2 version. Upgrades can only be obtained once sub-missions are complete (ex. Complete the level in five minutes). The main plot is slightly different. Lunges are renamed "pounces", and can only be activated once the circle button appears on top of the enemies' head. Rage is only obtained once the rage meter is full - the meter can decrease once combat stops. Such weapons like fire can stop Wolverine's regeneration ability. Menus are identical.


== Plot == ===Plot===
In the prologue, set in a bleak urban environment, ] kills a group of soldiers sent to kill him. His thoughts drift to a forgotten past.
The storyline is comprised of a combination of the Wolverine backstory being explored in the movie of the same name as well as original story created by ]. In recent interviews, lead developer Dan Vondrak indicates that roughly 90% of the movie storyline is in the game. However, that comprises less than half of the overall videogame story, with the balance being exclusive to the game.


The game begins in ], ], chronicling the final mission of Team X, led by ] and his soldiers: James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine, Logan's brother ], ], ], and ], to locate a village that holds the secret to a valuable mineral deposit (implied to be ]). Traveling through the jungle and ancient temples, they come across and slaughter numerous mercenaries and ] attempting to stop them. When ], their ] liaison, objects to Stryker harming innocent civilians, Stryker orders her termination and Wraith seemingly kills her. Eventually, Team X locates the village but the villagers refuse to cooperate and Stryker threatens their lives. Logan turns on his teammates but he is subdued and knocked out before he can prevent the massacre of the villagers.
The primary storyline is the back-story of Wolverine. Uncovering his origins from his birth in the 19<sup>th</sup> century, his military service and eventual recruitment to ] ] program, and finally his confrontation with ].


Three years later, Team X disbanded. Logan has settled in Canada with his girlfriend, ], when Creed surprises Logan at a bar and engages him in battle. Creed emerges victorious, breaks Logan's bone claws, and knocks him unconscious. Logan awakens to find Kayla dead. Stryker arrives, telling Logan that Creed is killing his former comrades in revenge for Stryker firing him. He offers Logan a chance at revenge, via a procedure to bond the indestructible metal adamantium to his skeleton. Logan accepts, but when the procedure ends, he overhears Stryker, who orders him to be terminated. He breaks out of the Alkali Lake facility in a rage, killing many of Stryker's men attempting to stop him, including Nord, and vowing to kill Stryker and Creed.
Locations in the game include Africa, which is implied to be ], due to Stryker's interest in ] in the regions, ], ], and New Orleans.


Searching for Wraith, Logan travels to ''Project: Wideawake'', a secret government facility producing mutant hunting ] robots. There, he comes across Raven, who is also searching for Wraith and is revealed to be a mutant shapeshifter; she explains to Logan that Wraith helped fake her death three years prior and the two have been in a relationship ever since. Raven leads Logan through the facility, where he encounters the Sentinels' mutant-hating inventor, ]. After cutting off Trask's hand to access Wraith's prison with his handprint, Logan rescues Wraith and destroys a large prototype Sentinel.
== Cast of Characters ==

Wraith leads Logan to ], a former team member, who, after being bested by Logan in a fight, tells him of "The Island", a prison for mutants Creed captures on Stryker's behalf, and the location of ], the island's sole mutant escapee, who is currently residing at a casino in ]. Remy flees when Logan questions him, thinking he is one of Stryker's agents, while Sabretooth surprises and kills Wraith. After battling Logan, Remy is convinced he is not with Stryker and takes him to Stryker's island base.

There, Logan confronts Stryker and discovers Kayla is alive and a mutant who seduced Logan with her persuasion ability. Her "death" was an elaborate ruse to trick Logan into volunteering for Weapon X to acquire his DNA. Stryker's true plan is to complete the transformation of Wade into "Weapon XI": grafting onto him the powers of various mutants (including Wraith and Logan) to create the ultimate mutant-killing super soldier. Devastated by the truth, Logan accepts Stryker's offer to erase his memory but changes his mind after Creed takes Kayla hostage. Logan bests Creed this time but spares him for Kayla's pleadings. While Kayla leaves to rescue her sister Stryker kidnapped to force her cooperation, Weapon XI is sent to kill Logan. Despite Weapon XI's capabilities, he dies at Logan's hand in the ensuing battle. Creed recovers and amicably part ways with Logan but intends to remind his brother that they are both killers at heart.

IGN's Sam Bishop says the DS version is not what he really expected from Griptonite Games. He says that not much enjoyment is presented, like no voice and long levels. The characters, he says, have nice comic book animations, but it is repetitive. He also didn't really expect minimal sound effects. He liked the secret collectives. He stated that the combat had its' bright moments, but "they're almost always during segments where you're not taking on three hulking creatures at once." The version got a 5.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a action-adventure game based on the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The game release coincided with the release of the film on May 1, 2009, for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Windows, Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable. A version of the game was also released for mobile phones. The game was developed primarily by Raven Software through the use of Unreal Engine 3. Its ESRB rating has varied widely across platforms, with the non-Nintendo console and PC versions being entitled the Uncaged Edition and receiving a Mature 17+ rating to provide players an opportunity to experience the uncensored graphic violence of the natural use of Wolverine's abilities, the Nintendo DS version receiving an Everyone 10+ rating due to its violence being tamed by reduced resolution and graphics, and the Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions receiving a Teen rating by featuring standard superhero violence consistent with what was seen in the PG-13 rated film.

Following the expiration of Activision's licensing deal with Marvel, the game was de-listed and removed from all digital storefronts on January 1, 2014. It was the final Wolverine game published by Activision before the license expired in 2014. It was also the last standalone Wolverine video game to be released until the announcement of Marvel's Wolverine, currently being developed by Insomniac Games and to be published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 5.

Gameplay

Wolverine lunges toward an enemy helicopter.

X-Men Origins takes influences from games such as God of War and Devil May Cry with a third person perspective. The Uncaged Edition also features a large amount of blood and gore. Enemies can be slain in several ways in addition to the graphic display of Wolverine's healing factor.

Combat relies on three options - light attacks, heavy attacks, and grabs. Another form of attack is the lunge, which allows Wolverine to quickly close the distance to an enemy. Wolverine can also use the environment to his advantage, such as by impaling foes on spikes. During combat, Wolverine's rage meter builds up, and when full allows him to use more devastating attacks, like the claw spin and a berserker mode, which increases Wolverine's claw strength until his Rage Meter empties. Experience (XP) is collected from defeating enemies, destroying elements and accumulating collectibles. The XP is used to level up, and each new level results in gaining skill points, which are used to purchase upgrades.

The PlayStation 2 and Wii versions are less graphic, with less language and slightly different combat. Feral senses are still obtained, which can detect doors, traps, enemies and sentinel observers, and lunges must be performed at closer distances.

Synopsis

The story is a combination of the Wolverine (voiced by Hugh Jackman) backstory explored in the film and an original plot created by Raven Software, which was influenced by major events in the X-Men comic series.

Plot

In the prologue, set in a bleak urban environment, Wolverine kills a group of soldiers sent to kill him. His thoughts drift to a forgotten past.

The game begins in Angola, Africa, chronicling the final mission of Team X, led by Col. Stryker and his soldiers: James "Logan" Howlett / Wolverine, Logan's brother Victor Creed / Sabretooth, Wade Wilson, John Wraith, and Nord, to locate a village that holds the secret to a valuable mineral deposit (implied to be adamantium). Traveling through the jungle and ancient temples, they come across and slaughter numerous mercenaries and mutants attempting to stop them. When Raven, their CIA liaison, objects to Stryker harming innocent civilians, Stryker orders her termination and Wraith seemingly kills her. Eventually, Team X locates the village but the villagers refuse to cooperate and Stryker threatens their lives. Logan turns on his teammates but he is subdued and knocked out before he can prevent the massacre of the villagers.

Three years later, Team X disbanded. Logan has settled in Canada with his girlfriend, Kayla Silverfox, when Creed surprises Logan at a bar and engages him in battle. Creed emerges victorious, breaks Logan's bone claws, and knocks him unconscious. Logan awakens to find Kayla dead. Stryker arrives, telling Logan that Creed is killing his former comrades in revenge for Stryker firing him. He offers Logan a chance at revenge, via a procedure to bond the indestructible metal adamantium to his skeleton. Logan accepts, but when the procedure ends, he overhears Stryker, who orders him to be terminated. He breaks out of the Alkali Lake facility in a rage, killing many of Stryker's men attempting to stop him, including Nord, and vowing to kill Stryker and Creed.

Searching for Wraith, Logan travels to Project: Wideawake, a secret government facility producing mutant hunting Sentinel robots. There, he comes across Raven, who is also searching for Wraith and is revealed to be a mutant shapeshifter; she explains to Logan that Wraith helped fake her death three years prior and the two have been in a relationship ever since. Raven leads Logan through the facility, where he encounters the Sentinels' mutant-hating inventor, Bolivar Trask. After cutting off Trask's hand to access Wraith's prison with his handprint, Logan rescues Wraith and destroys a large prototype Sentinel.

Wraith leads Logan to Fred Dukes, a former team member, who, after being bested by Logan in a fight, tells him of "The Island", a prison for mutants Creed captures on Stryker's behalf, and the location of Remy Lebeau, the island's sole mutant escapee, who is currently residing at a casino in New Orleans. Remy flees when Logan questions him, thinking he is one of Stryker's agents, while Sabretooth surprises and kills Wraith. After battling Logan, Remy is convinced he is not with Stryker and takes him to Stryker's island base.

There, Logan confronts Stryker and discovers Kayla is alive and a mutant who seduced Logan with her persuasion ability. Her "death" was an elaborate ruse to trick Logan into volunteering for Weapon X to acquire his DNA. Stryker's true plan is to complete the transformation of Wade into "Weapon XI": grafting onto him the powers of various mutants (including Wraith and Logan) to create the ultimate mutant-killing super soldier. Devastated by the truth, Logan accepts Stryker's offer to erase his memory but changes his mind after Creed takes Kayla hostage. Logan bests Creed this time but spares him for Kayla's pleadings. While Kayla leaves to rescue her sister Stryker kidnapped to force her cooperation, Weapon XI is sent to kill Logan. Despite Weapon XI's capabilities, he dies at Logan's hand in the ensuing battle. Creed recovers and amicably part ways with Logan but intends to remind his brother that they are both killers at heart.

Logan finds Kayla wounded and near death; Stryker takes the opportunity to shoot him in the head with an adamantium bullet, erasing all of his memories. Kayla persuades Stryker to walk "until feet bleed", says a tearful goodbye to the unconscious Logan, and drowns herself in a lake. Logan heals from the gunshot but awakens aimlessly and alone.

The epilogue takes place in the same period as the prologue: Trask has taken Logan hostage and replaced his severed hand with a lifelike robotic prosthesis. Logan breaks free of his chains and Trask flees. As an army of Sentinels ravages a ruined city in the distance, Logan quips "This world may be broken, but I've got the tools to fix it".

Development

In May 2009, Raven Software set up a developers blog. Blur Studio, who also worked with Raven on X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, provided all of the CGI cutscenes for the game. Hugh Jackman reprised his role as the voice of Wolverine, though he did not provide motion capture. Jackman worked on the project for over a year and "did more voiceover for this than ever done before." From January to March, the developers published a large number of 3D screenshots. The music for the game was composed by Paul Haslinger. Raven worked with publisher Activision to provide easter eggs from other games to be found, such as the Lich King's sword from World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King and the cake mentioned in the game Portal.

Downloadable content

In June 2009, Activision released downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, featuring Custom Combat Arena, Ladder Challenge, and Environmental Simulator.

GameSpot gave the game a 7/10, praising the variety of enemies, the brutal action and the representation of Wolverine's power, yet criticizing the poor replay value and the disappointing boss fights. Overall, the game was defined as "one of the better movie tie-ins released recently". Destructoid's review, which gave the game a 7.5/10, focused on similar points, by finding fault with boss fights, poor replay value and sloppy plot and identifying as strong points the quality of the aesthetic and the brutal action.

Eurogamer gave the game a 5/10, by stating: "X-Men Origins may be unapologetically violent, but it's also unapologetically repetitive, and it's the one apology that needs to be made". Game Informer, even though disapproved the repetitiveness, stated that the "game is nearly impossible to put down". GamePro stated that "its repetitive gameplay, mundane puzzle design and eye-twitching platforming segments really cuts into Origins' fun and yet, for fans of the franchise, it's a solid title that's worth playing through".
