How it plays
The game is viewed from a side-scrolling perspective. Wolverine advances through linear stages, defeats enemies with his claws, avoids hazards, collects useful items, and reaches an end-of-level goal or boss encounter.
Movement combines running, jumping, climbing, and attacks. Wolverine's healing factor supports a more aggressive style, but health and positioning still matter. Progression is based on completing successive stages rather than gaining experience or building a persistent character.
Plan your run
Use Wolverine's reach to attack enemies before they make contact, and avoid rushing into groups. Explore ledges and side paths for health or other useful pickups.
Save healing opportunities for boss encounters and learn enemy timing rather than relying only on repeated attacks.

Before you begin
Use jumping attacks when enemies are positioned below or on narrow platforms.
Pause briefly after taking damage so Wolverine can recover before re-entering combat.
Check elevated platforms and corners for items.
Editorial context
A compact Wolverine action game with recognizable abilities, but its brief campaign and repetitive combat limit its depth.
X-Men: Wolverine's Rage is a side-scrolling action platformer developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Activision for the Game Boy Color. It places Wolverine in a compact adventure built around running, jumping, climbing, and close-range claw attacks. The game uses comic-book-inspired presentation and a straightforward level-to-level structure rather than a large exploration map. Wolverine battles through hostile environments while pursuing a dangerous mutant threat. Reception was mixed: reviewers generally recognized the character's abilities and solid presentation, but criticized the short length, repetitive combat, and occasional control or collision issues. It is chiefly remembered as a modest handheld adaptation of Wolverine's comic-book action.
