X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a Shooting game available on the 360. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer Cooperative modes.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

Movie Gamer review Thu, 28 Jul 2011

While far from perfect, X-Men Origins: Wolverine breaks preconception about movie tie-in videogames. Enjoyable combat and gruesome violence pay homage to the comic-book character, and not just the teen friendly movie version although it is ultimately let down by being too long, with overly repetitive enemies.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is far better than it has any right to be. I found the movie to be OK: enjoyable, but not in the same league as other superhero movies such as X2 or The Dark Knight. I was delighted when I realised, a little way through, that this Uncaged Edition of Wolverine owes more to various comic-book iterations than Hugh Jackman's interpretation. While I love Jackman's Wolverine, he's necessarily de-clawed because of the nature of the movies and their teen audience.
