8 out of 10
I haven't seen the film that this tied in with but if every film licence resulted in a game as good as this one we should all be very happy. I assume it follows the film fairly closely, since everything ties in with the little I know from trailers and previews.
It's not that important though because the main thing is that this is an extremely good game about being Wolverine. It feels like Wolverine, staying very true to the character and really conveying the raw power and speed of the savage beast within.
It's a bit too graphically violent, which I don't think is strictly necessary, but it certainly makes you feel cool when you slice an enemy into three and it shows it lovingly in slow motion. The game will probably feel repetitive to some people, being the same basic combat over and over and over again. But it's executed so well, and liberally sprinkled with show-stopping one-off set pieces, that I was never bored.
Great fun if you like the film, the character, or just scrolling beat-em-ups in general. The best movie-licensed game for some time.

My brother loves the game. It is violent but not as bad as CS. I enjoyed watching him play.
