During the pre-release marketing barrage of gameplay footage it was made quite clear that a selling point of the game is the ability to completely eviscerate your foes. This isn't a game for the kiddies under any circumstances. Raven Interactive is at the helm of this adamantium clad ship, it's quite clear they never once meant to appeal to the same broad audience as the PG-13 film that has recently hit theaters. Anyone who keeps close tabs on the beat em' up front may not be as wide eyed with glee at the pounding of foes.
This is an incredibly refreshing experience to someone who is just emerging from the claustrophobic halls of a Phobos lab, generic alien spacecraft or the trenches of WWII. The experience is that of a beat em' up, not really a genre that I come into contact with anymore, not since the mid-late 90s at any rate. However, the prospect of playing a Wolverine centric game isn't all glum, by any means. Providing maybe a few lackluster hours of entertainment with our favorite heroes. It's also a super hero game, many of which in recent years have been underwhelming, at best.
