YMMV / X2: Wolverine's Revenge

Go To

  • Can't Un-Hear It: Mark Hamill as Wolverine is one of the best known voices for the character, aside from Steve Blum. Likewise, Fred Tatasciore's Sabretooth and Magneto are also very memorable.
  • Complete Monster: The Professor, real name Truett Hudson, is a mastermind behind the Weapon X project, an experiment designed to create the perfect killing machine. To this end, the Professor experiments on a least a dozen people, turning them into mindless feral mutants, before he gets his hands on Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth, and Logan. Kidnapping the two, the Professor commits a number of painful experiments on them, wiping their minds and turning them into perfect soldiers. When Logan escapes and confronts the Professor, the latter informs him that he injected all Weapon X subjects with the Shiva Virus, which would kill them in a few years, leading to Logan starting to search for the cure several years later.
  • It's Hard, So It Sucks!: It is one of the hardest Marvel games of all time, despite Logan's health regeneration.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Many Spider-Man fans just want to see Spidey talk to Wolverine.
  • Narm: A major chunk of the Juggernaut fight consists of the player listening to his long, loud groans of agony, which never fails to be hilarious considering that Juggernaut is established to be utterly unstoppable...yet apparently he has very little pain tolerance.
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: Despite the difficulty, it is a very good Wolverine game.
  • That One Boss: Magneto. In order to hit him, the player has to climb to one of the specific locations in the arena and do a lunge move to reach him and bring him down where he can be damaged. It is up to the player to figure out the right location to hit Magneto, and if he is floating over the molten steel, Wolverine will fall into it and need to escape, taking more damage than he inflicts on Magneto. While the player tries to reach Magneto, they have to avoid the floating bits of metal (as running into them deals heavy damage) and the energy spheres Magneto throws at them, and he will hoist the player into the air, forcing them to mash the buttons to escape damage. At certain points, Magneto will attempt to break the Power Limiter restraining him. While he does come to the ground while doing this, making it easier to hit him, the player dies instantly if he breaks the Power Limiter.
  • Unexpected Character: Nobody expected Spider-Man to appear in the game.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: While the game is T-rated, it has plenty of blood shown.
  • Vindicated by History: The game helped serve as an inspiration for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which is also a great Wolverine game that outdid the film it adapted from.
