Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This action-adventure game puts players in the role of Wolverine, a mutant with a healing factor and adamantium claws, as he races against time to find an antidote for a deadly virus. Players will utilize Wolverine's unique abilities, including heightened senses and feral rages, to navigate challenges, choosing between stealth and direct combat to uncover clues and overcome obstacles.
Story
Wolverine's History
Logan's healing factor meant he appeared to be in his mid-30s even after 100 years. His life became shrouded in mystery, with half-truths and anecdotal reports forming the legend of Wolverine.
In the latter half of the 20th century, Logan was subjected to experiments by Weapon X scientists. They grafted adamantium to his skeleton and bone claws, and introduced memory implants.
These false memories, combined with his healing factor, made it impossible for Logan to discern fact from fiction about his past. He knows little of his former life, save that it was fraught with pain and loss.
Wolverine was an operative for the Canadian government when he joined the X-Men. He stayed due to his belief in Xavier's vision and his attraction to Jean Grey.
During his time with the X-Men, Logan has worked to regain his lost memories. However, every answer leads him to more questions.
Current Situation
A deadly viral time bomb has been triggered in Wolverine's nervous system. He must find the antidote before the virus becomes lethal.
Wolverine faces a brand new adventure, pushing his powers and endurance to their limits.

Bonus Menu
The Bonus menu contains unlockable bonuses and secrets. Here you can go into Cerebro, choose a new costume, play a challenge*, or listen to the in-game soundtrack.

Your Mutant Healing Factor
Healing occurs automatically unless:
•
Your claws are out.
•
You're in combat.
•
You're Feral.
•
You're under the influence of gas (poisonous/choking).
•
You're under the influence of the SHIVA virus.
Your Adamantium Claws
Sheathe or unsheathe claws using the R2 button. Claws cause more damage in combat but are slightly slower than punches.
Claws can damage some environmental objects such as wire fences, some doors, and crates. You cannot heal when claws are out.
Using claws on enemies and objects with electrical defenses will cause damage. Claws auto-pop when you go Feral.
Your Feral Rage
The Feral Rage Bar is located above the Health Bar. Rage energy builds up when you hit someone, or when they hit you.
Rage energy depletes if no one has hit you or you haven't hit anybody for a while. When your energy reaches the red, trigger your rage by double-tapping the R2 button.
When you go Feral, your claws will pop automatically and:
•
You can move faster.
•
Your resistance to damage is better.
•
You cause more damage with your claw slashes.
•
You can't auto-heal.
Strike Moves & The Combat Progression System
Strike Moves are fundamental to Wolverine's fighting system. Getting through the game will be tough without them. Strike moves allow you to take out multiple enemies with spectacular combinations.
At the beginning of the game, Wolverine only has access to his basic move set and Combat Level One Strike Moves. To perform a Strike, maneuver yourself in combat until you see the directional arrows on the ground and the STRIKE indicator appears onscreen. Press the O button.
Strike Moves are always triggered by the O button. More complex Strike Moves at higher Combat Levels are chained from the O button.
Each combat level contains four "directionally triggered," uniquely-named Strike Moves and a single-opponent finishing strike. There are four Combat Levels to progress through, each one more visually spectacular (and worth more points) than the last.
Different Combat Level Strikes require different button combo presses and will cause progressively more damage to different levels of enemies. More deadly Strikes require more complex button combos to trigger.
Other levels of Strike are earned by collecting Dog Tags during play. In addition to Combat Strikes, there are special Stealth Strikes, Situation-Specific Strikes, and Boss-Specific Strikes which become available at certain points in the game. Always be on the lookout for a Strike opportunity!

Enemies & Characters
Wolverine
James Howlett, also known as Logan, is a mutant with animal-keen senses, an accelerated healing factor, and retractable adamantium claws. He was born into privilege in Canada and manifested his mutant abilities after witnessing his father's murder.
Tips & Maps
Heightened Senses Mode
By pressing and holding the L2 button, you enter Heightened Senses Mode, which allows you to track thermal footprints, detect heat sources, view objects from greater distances, sense objects or living beings in the dark or hidden within other objects, detect scent trails, and detect laser beams or trip wires. This mode also makes you stealthy, but cannot be used in combat or under the influence of gas/virus.
Stealth Mode
By pressing and holding the L1 button, you can enter Stealth mode without triggering your Heightened Senses. In both Heightened Senses and Stealth Mode, stealthy movement allows you to sneak around without being heard by enemies, and moving against a wall puts you into wall-hug movement mode, offering opportunities for stealth strikes.
Items & Weapons
Health
Boosts health. Wolverine has an accelerated mutant healing factor but sometimes needs a little extra help.
Max Rage
Sends Wolverine immediately into a temporary Feral rage. Useful for dispatching large numbers of enemies very quickly.
Comic Covers

Costume Mode
Each comic cover allows you to play the game in your favorite Wolverine costume from the comics or movie.
Cerebro Files
Each file unlocks a Patrick Stewart-narrated character bio and model viewer.
Bronze, Silver and Gold Dog Tag Challenges
Dog Tag challenges unlock special concept/production artwork pieces from behind the scenes that drop into your Gallery (also in Bonus in the Options Menu). These secret challenges only become available when you have completed the main game.
