Summary

X-Men: Wolverine's Rage (often just called Wolverine’s Rage) drops you into a classic side‑scrolling sprint where Wolverine is hot on the trail of Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth and Cyber. The premise is simple: stop Deathstrike before she finishes a weapon that could melt Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton, and the game keeps you barreling through mutant‑filled streets and labs to do it.

The structure is neatly divided into twenty stages, grouped in five‑level chapters that each end with a boss showdown. Most levels are a race against the clock, peppered with enemies you can slash or claw away, and Wolverine’s signature healing lets you bounce back from damage. Progress is saved via a password system, so you can pick up the hunt later without starting over.

Critics were split – GameRankings averaged a modest 56%, with scores ranging from 2.5/5 at AllGame to 7/10 at IGN. Reviewers noted the game’s simplicity, saying it would please die‑hard X‑Men fans but felt Activision played it safe for the third time in a row.

Storyline

X-Men: Wolverine's Rage (often just called Wolverine's Rage) puts players in the claws of Logan as he races against time to stop a deadly plot. Lady Deathstrike uncovers schematics for a device capable of melting Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton and decides to build it. Determined to protect himself and his allies, Wolverine must track her down and destroy the weapon before it can be activated. Along the way the game pits him against familiar foes such as Sabretooth and the cyber‑enhanced villain Cyber.
The chase takes Wolverine across varied locations, each filled with enemies and platforming challenges that test his feral abilities. The storyline drives the side‑scroll action, keeping the focus on the personal vendetta against Deathstrike while also confronting other classic X‑Men adversaries.
