The video discusses the 2009 video game "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and how it surpasses the movie of the same name. The game has a more faithful adaptation of the character's violent and gritty tone, with over 500 ways to kill enemies and a variety of combos and finishing moves. The game also has a more interesting storyline, with added scenes and characters that flesh out the X-Men universe.
The video praises the game's ability to balance Wolverine's healing factor with the need for challenge, making the player feel powerful but not invincible. The game also features a variety of boss fights, including a memorable fight against a Sentinel, and a " secret" fight against Wolverine wearing his classic yellow and blue costume.
The video criticizes the game's repetition in the final missions and the lack of enemy variation, but overall concludes that the game is a "badass love letter" to the character and a competent character action game. The video ends with a hope that the success of the game and other R-rated superhero movies will lead to a more faithful adaptation of the character in the future.
