* NarmCharm: Wolverine's classic comic suits are wearable. Naturally, the yellow spandex and pointy cowl look absolutely ridiculous in a gritty, ultra-violent game like this, but given just how classic the suits are, not to mention that it's was technically Hugh Jackman's only time showing up in the classic yellow suit until 2023, it instead becomes completely awesome.

* VindicatedByHistory: Creator/JamesMangold loved the game so much that he used the grittiness and goriness in ''Film/{{Logan}}'', that is considered one of the best superhero drama films of all time.

** In stark contrast to the effects used to make Creator/PatrickStewart look younger in ''The Last Stand'', which are still impressive even today, the comparable effects here look incredibly rushed and overdone, making him look more like a half-finished waxwork model. It's very also obvious that Stewart's scenes were filmed separately from those of the mutants that Xavier rescues, thanks to the unconvincing composite shot that depicts them together.

* CompleteMonster (UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 & UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} version): [[BigBad Colonel William Stryker]] is a [[InsaneAdmiral high-ranking officer]] within the US Army and the head of the Weapon X project. Having assembled the team of mutants in the past, Stryker uses them to complete his own personal operations, at one point ordering them to massacre a militia within an African village, and then tries to torture information from innocent civilians there about the adamantium that located within the area. When Logan rebelled against him, Stryker knocked him out and then tried to [[NukeEm obliterate the village with a nuke]]. In the present, manipulating Logan to become his subject in the Weapon X program, Stryker [[PlayingWithSyringes experiments on countless humans]], transforming them into his mindless brutes [[AndIMustScream who suffer so much]] that they thank Logan for killing them.

* QuestionableCasting: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Creator/LievSchreiber, who's five inches shorter than Tyler Mane, as Victor Creed. He's excellent in the role and pretty intimidating, but it's still a tad jarring. Meanwhile Creator/DannyHuston, the actor playing the young Stryker, is five inches taller than Creator/BrianCox, who played Stryker in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. Even barring height, Cox and Huston ''look nothing alike''.
