Downloaded the Wolverine demo last night for XB360, played through it. This game plays almost exactly like Star Wars: Force Unleased. The Ninja Gaiden 2 game was my first introduction to the new type of Action/Adventure 3D game. Here's what I found:
1. Build a game around a single, powerful character. Insert appropriate weapons/moves/voiceovers to match franchise.
2. As you play through the game, add degrees of strengths to a pre-determined set of moves by collecting little floating orbs after killing weak, boring enemy armies.
3. Throughout the level, there will be little micro-puzzles to solve. There should be a bright green, blinking arrow pointing you in the right direction.
4. A large boss battle ensues after 30-40 minutes of level play.
5. [Optional] - Quick Time events to frustrate you during the final finishing move of a big boss battle.
Total time to complete - 12-15 hours
Please let me know if you disagree with this formula. After playing through Star Wars: Force Unleased, I'm over this genre completely. The only reason I played this game was to get an original written story out of it. The new Wolverine is 99% based on the newly released movie. Save yourself 15 hours and $60, and go see the movie. You can read what others think at Metacritic.com.
On another note, a TMNT Turtles in Time remake is coming out for XBLA. Anyone down for playing through this? I need 3 other people - I call Donatello because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.
