Activision and GameStop have teamed up to bring gamers who pre-order X-Men Origins: Wolverine some exclusive downloadable content.
If you decide to throw down $5 USD at your local GameStop, you’ll be securing the following rooms, which are unrelated to the main campaign, for Wolverine’s upcoming action romp.
The Dismemberment Room: Using a control panel, this room lets players select various limbs and body parts on a holographic soldier. Once the selections are locked in, the soldier appears in a tiled room viewed through a glass wall. The selected limbs are severed with spectacular results.
The Custom Combat Arena: This huge space lets players select any combination of enemies from within the game, beam them into the arena, and attempt to defeat them. Face ten hulking Leviathans or a blend of towering W.E.N.D.I.G.O. Prototypes, Machete Champions, and Machine gunners.
The Environmental Kill Room: This large room features small set-ups of each of the various environments found within the main game. All of these environments contain sharp objects on which Wolverine can impale his enemies. By pushing a red button, players can teleport in a group of soldiers and hurl them against the sharp objects to see them creatively skewered.
The Ladder Challenge Room: Pushing a red button will cause a group of enemies to beam into the room. Each time the red button is pushed, the enemies get tougher and more numerous, laddering up the challenge for Wolverine.
That all sounds really cool, doesn’t it? It seems like we’re heading into some strange parallel universe where movie games are actually enjoyable. It’s actually a bit unnerving. We might have to go play Iron Man again to restore our faith in over-hyped, under-developed, movie-licensed garbage.
