    Just got it today for my laptop. I liked the game preety much. It is fun and a whole new different type of gameplay. Wolverine is much more stronger and regenerating as well as the graphics is quite good. It does preety much adapt the movie story line. Did you guys liked this game?

    I didn't even know this game was out for the PC. I wonder how it will run on the NP8662. It looks great, I might buy this one.

    Any word about the PC requirements? Couldn't find exact details anywhere.

    From what I have heard, this is one of the few games that are actually decent even though it is based off of a Movie.

    I have finished the game already and loved it. Though I found it a bit easy as Wolverine's health keeps increasing throughout the game lol, just like the actual character. I can't remember if I even died once in the whole game, except in the last fight with Deadpool.

    Yeah, this was the best Xmen game made. Also, I liked all those combos. I wish there were other characters too.

    I liked this game a lot when i played it for 360. I was blown away by the graphics and imagine that was 360 i can only imagine what the PC version looks like.
