The formula for the perfect Wolverine game is as hard to crack as adamantium. Those with Logan as the main character have ranged from "okay, not bad" to "please make it stop". He's been in some great games, but always as a supporting character. Take the ol' canucklehead out of the fantastic Marvel's Midnight Suns, for example, and the impact on story and gameplay would be negligible. We've got every reason to believe, however, that Insomniac will finally give him the game he deserves with Marvel's Wolverine.
"Been fightin' longer than I can remember," he growls resignedly at the beginning of the recent gameplay trailer. There's then plenty of ultraviolence to demonstrate this (he literally rips a guy in half), and it's this level of character-appropriate gore that has caught the attention of, and sparked hope in, many fans. There's plenty more to read into however, not least the words and tone of Logan's voiceover that sits in stark contrast to the energy and rage of what's happening on screen ("Death's always waitin'. Just not for me").
