Another fun mechanic that exists solely for entertainment is a button dedicated to extending or retracting his claws.

Sadly, the film's lack of faith in the source material, poorly-done effects and overall lackluster story left much to be desired. However, while the film didn't meet fan expectations, its video game tie-in picked up the slack in a huge way. The first of these entries was X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
