X2: Wolverine's Revenge (also known as X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge) is an action video game released in 2003 for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Windows, and Game Boy Advance to coincide with the release date of the film X2. The Game Boy Advance version was also released on a Twin Pack cartridge bundled with Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace in 2005.
Revenge was the first home console title to feature the Marvel Comics superhero Wolverine in a starring role since 1994; he had appeared two years earlier in X-Men: Wolverine's Rage. The game was released as a promotional tie-in to X2 but featured an original story by famed comic book writer Larry Hama, and does not take place in the continuity of the film series, but had a closer resemblance to the Marvel Universe instead.
In X2: Wolverine's Revenge, the player helps Wolverine claw his way past the heavily guarded areas of the Weapon X Facility to piece together fragmented clues to Wolverine's murky past and, more important, to save his life. Wolverine has 48 hours to find an antidote to the deadly Shiva Virus circulating in his bloodstream and the clues point to the Weapon X facility, the Canadian fortress where he had his skeletal structure fused with adamantium.
A significant feature has Mark Hamill providing the voice-over for Wolverine in game. While Hugh Jackman's likeness is on the cover and promotional material, the character model in game is based on the comic books. Patrick Stewart reprises his film role as Professor X in game.
