X-Men Origins: Wolverine Play Online 🪙 Nintendo DS Games

Summary

The Nintendo DS version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine feels like a stripped‑down God of War for handhelds. It keeps the hack‑and‑slash core – light and heavy attacks, grabs, a lunge to close distance, and even environmental tricks like impaling foes on spikes – but the graphics are tamed enough to earn an Everyone 10+ rating. As you slice through enemies, a rage meter fills and unleashes a claw spin or berserker mode until it empties, while XP from kills and collectibles lets you level up and spend skill points on upgrades. Hugh Jackman actually voiced Wolverine for this port, Blur Studio supplied the CGI cutscenes, and Paul Haslinger scored the game, with hidden nods to World of Warcraft’s Lich King sword and Portal’s infamous cake. Critics weren’t kind: the DS edition landed at 55 % on GameRankings and Metacritic, with IGN giving it a 5/10, citing a brief campaign, little replay value and repetitive combat as its biggest flaws.

Storyline

The prologue of X‑Men Origins: Wolverine drops you into a grim city where Logan slaughters a squad of soldiers sent to kill him, his mind drifting to a forgotten past.
The game proper opens in Angola, where Team X—Colonel Stryker, Wolverine, Sabretooth, Wade Wilson, John Wraith and Nord—searches a remote village rumored to hide a valuable mineral, implied to be adamantium. After battling mercenaries and mutants, Stryker orders the CIA liaison Raven killed, and the team massacres the villagers despite Logan’s protest.
Three years later Logan lives in Canada with his girlfriend Kayla Silverfox. Sabretooth ambushes him in a bar, breaks Logan’s bone claws and leaves Kayla dead. Stryker offers Logan a chance at revenge by bonding adamantium to his skeleton, but after the procedure Logan overhears Stryker’s order to terminate him and escapes the Alkali Lake facility, killing many of Stryker’s men, including Nord.
Logan then infiltrates Project Wideawake, a secret Sentinel factory, where he meets Raven—now revealed as a mutant shapeshifter—and rescues Wraith by cutting off Bolivar Trask’s hand to access his prison. He destroys a prototype Sentinel in the process.
Wraith guides Logan to former teammate Fred Dukes, who tells him about “The Island,” a mutant prison, and points him to Remy LeBeau (Gambit) in a New Orleans casino. After a brief clash, Sabretooth kills Wraith.
On Stryker’s island Logan discovers Kayla alive, a mutant who faked her death to lure him into Weapon X. Stryker plans to turn Wade into Weapon XI, a mutant‑killing super‑soldier. Logan refuses memory erasure, defeats Creed, and kills Weapon XI, but Stryker shoots him with an adamantium bullet and Kayla drowns herself.
The epilogue returns to the prologue’s ruined city: Trask has replaced Logan’s hand with a robotic prosthetic, Logan breaks free, and a Sentinel army looms in the distance as he quips, “This world may be broken, but I’ve got just the tools to fix it.”
