I like how they used Hugh Jackman’s face for the cover art for this game, got Patrick Stewart to play Prof. X, yet got Mark Hamill to play Logan. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mark and he’s not too bad here, but I just find it funny.
I liked his voice for this. Sure you can hear Joker in his voice sometimes but he managed to pull of the unpleasant, gruff voice for Wolverine. I even love the line when he says "Can a dead man 'snikt' kill?"
No discredit to Mark Hamill. He did a great job for Joker in Batman. He also did a great Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. And he did a fair job as wolverine in this. However, if you’re going to use Hugh Jackman to pose for the cover, you should probably star Hugh Jackman as the voice actor.
@@chrisossu2070 It was just shameless promotion and misleading but Mark still did a decent job, but nothing can beat his voice work as the Joker. I'm currently playing Arkham Asylum and it's a joy hearing him lend his voice talents once again in the video game format. Good hearing Kevin Conroy too if you remember the 90's animated series (which I own the complete box set of).
I will say, though, if there’s any character who would reasonably sound like his internal mic gain was too high when he talked, it would be Juggernaut’s aggro-ass.
@adrianb714 yeah at this point. Your right. It wasn't even a true movie tie-in though. It was based off of the new x-men comic run from 2001. I know because I have all the issues. That's where this wolverine design comes from.
Believe it or not, Wolverine originally was gonna appear in the first Spiderman movie. And yes it was gonna be Hugh Jackman too. Imagine how wild that would have been
Bruh, this game was great, even though it wasn’t the best gameplay wise. The story and voice acting were way ahead of it’s time, and Mark Hamill did WAY better than I thought as Logan. One of my favorite childhood games
It wasn’t supposed to be a movie tie in game it was going to be a stand alone Wolverine game based on the comics but activision felt that adding hugh Jackman’s wolverine on the cover would’ve help sell more copies
Used to love this game. Only found out recently that there was a lot of cut content, including a boss fight with Omega Red (also voiced by Hamill) and a larger role for May Deuce.
I actually really enjoyed this game despite the lack of checkpoints on lengthy levels (which understandably annoyed gamers) and Hamill does a really good Wolverine voice.
"Only a fool designs a weapon without a fail-safe." Yeah, and only a bigger fool designs a fail-safe that can't just be activated on command for absolute safety, have it only take effect in about a year, and give it even to subjects with a healing factor that slow down an already long process tremendously. Seriously, why couldn't you just put a chip in their brain that would electrocute them to keep them in line, or something like that? Why make this overly complicated, especially if you're not even gonna take advantage of it by, gee IDK, blackmailing them with the antidote so that they'd stay loyal? Some "fail-safe".
I think "Marvel's Wolverine" would be an amalgamation of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and "X2: Wolverine's Revenge". What do you think of that idea for the game?
This video was clearly stolen from another RU-vid channel. Search for the game's name and you'll see that it was ripped from the channel called Fair Play.
Now that I've watched this a few times, I realized there's a few weird aspects to the story. (1) Wolverine being called Logan before the Weapon X project. In comics he went by Logan after the project, due to losing his memory including his birth name (James Howlet). (2) Department H being in charge of the Weapon X program, which means technically the Canadian super hero team Alpha Flight is responsible for Wolverine being the way he is. (3) I think the pilot was supposed to be Mystique in disguise, judging by the evil laugh, but it's likely she got cut at the last second. (4) How would Sabertooth know Wolverine's birthday?
I believe this is all based on the new x men comic run. Back in the early 2000s I've read all of those issues. It has this exact same wolverine and sabretooth. I actually read all the comics while listening to this game's soundtrack lol.
The first thing you said is actually false. Logan got that name after escaping from Alberta as a teenager, when he had to get a false name to not alert anyone of his disappearance, waaay before the Weapon X project. Logan is actually the name of Wolverine's family old gardener, who's supposed to have had an affair with Wolverone's mother and to be his actual father. Rather confusing, I know, but it's all told in the Origin comic series
