X-Men 2 Wolverine's Revenge

It's been long time since I played this game but unfortunately I lost my copy so I decided to buy one online thankfully I got a brand new/not used. I'm currently playing it trying to refresh my memory and I don't remember this game being really difficult. there are no easy or hard modes just normal I guess. combat isn't smooth and you will definitely lose almost your health and get killed easily. there are heavy damage moves can be triggered only when enemy NPCs are in certain position around Wolverine so might be useful for quick kills. what sucks is though Wolverine has healing ability it is very slow and only when Wolverine unsheathes his claws. will try some route testing.

trying out the first level. in here I'm supposed to either use stealth or simply go berserk on everyone but you can see I just ignore everyone.

I think the mines in that area are also not fixed maybe I'm not sure.

so far really am stuck on 1 level and that act 3.1 it really sucks not because it is difficult the amount bullshit moments happen all the time. basically this part requires stealth and is designed on that for quick and easy playing but there places where stealth is near impossible since it triggers an alarm for no reason. I'm even playing on casual and I can't get through it ( "O*__*O)

aiming for segmented run. there is no way single segment can be acceptable because of the horrible game design like Magneto boss fight. too much screw ups and horrible harsh game mechanic.

this part is fairly easy but screwing up can lead to major time losses. avoided getting stuck in combat. I skipped the entire minefield area luckily without side missteps because of the stiff PS2 controls. I intentionally attacked the guard heading for the alarm or else an unskipable cutscene triggers. beating the mini boss was the only challenge here.

easily part, avoiding the invisible lasers is the hardest part.

the stealth sequence take longer time than running through alerting them. the mutant fights are harder than they look, they have faster frame recovery than Wolverine, wider range of attacks and their health regenerate. so you have to beat them fast while also tactical.

avoided as much times getting grabbed by Sabertooth. the last part making him off guard to grab him from behind is difficult when he does it.

Act II

avoiding the helicopter spotlight can be tricky since you can only see it in sense mode. getting health pick up is priority for the generator and the fight with soldiers. getting inside is harder than it looks, if get way far from the walls the helicopter will shoot rockets at you knocking you off and the recovery frame same timing as firing rate the helicopter has. meaning you'll get stuck in a loop of knocked off by rocket blast.

unavoidable stealth mission. no other way around it. the engine diversion is a must to get the 2 guards moving away from the cave.

routing the cave rails is easy. figuring out a non stealth way through ambush is near impossible theoretically. a cutscene would trigger where the guards get alert stance. no matter what you do if you try go through a cutscene triggers soldiers shooting the explosives. wolverine will take enough damage from the explosion that few bullets are enough to kill him. so stealth is a must only in that area to turn off the lights and making a clear way.

simple mission

this fight gets harder later when you have too many obstacles to block you while evading Wendigo. got knocked once but recovered quickly.
