Activision reveals X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Movie tie-in by Raven out early next year
Activision has unveiled its action movie tie-in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which will release on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and virtually every console ever made in Spring 2009.

Developed by Raven Software (Quake 4, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance), Wolverine is predictably an action adventure game following the film's plot through the hairy bloke's past, promising "lightning-quick combat, evasive maneuvers, in-depth combo attacks, and an array of brutal finishing moves".

Activision brand man Rob Kostich said: "We have an amazing team with Raven Studios at the helm, creating what will undoubtedly be the quintessential, true-to-character Wolverine video game experience that fans have been craving.

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine amps up the action by bringing to life Wolverine's wholly unique skills such as his brute strength, regenerative mutant abilities, and indestructible adamantium claws and skeleton in an immersive experience that is fitting to one of the most enduring and popular characters of all time."

See the first image on this page. It's Raven, so it should be at least half decent.

As long as it's nothing like X-Men 3: Wolverine's Revenge it'll be ok. So probably best if it isn't a action-adventure slash-em-up or starring Wolverine.

It's a movie tie-in, so that means I've heavily skeptical. But it has potential.

Of course you know it's going to end up as just another bland button-masher.

Film+Game = 99% of the time crap tie in!
