Grabbing an enemy allows Wolverine a variety of violent opportunities. This allows Wolverine to play fast and loose with group combat situations, as well as allowing for tighter control over 1:1 encounters. Mixing these provides unique combos, but doesn't require the player to learn long strings of combos. Wolverine's basic combat is built on a scheme of light punches, heavy punches, and grabs. While the combat foundations are simple, basic attacks can be linked together in devastating combos. When the player controls Wolverine, he or she can utilize the aforementioned impalement attack, or many others, by attacking with a light or heavy attacked mapped to two different buttons. He repeats this brutal impalement on other enemies unfortunate enough to stand in his way. Raven Software didn't hide the fact that you're playing as one of the biggest bad-asses in the Marvel Universe in X-Men Origins, as evidenced by the opening cinematic, in which Wolverine stabs his claws straight through a wall and into the skull of an enemy on the other side. In the game, Wolverine experiences the events leading up to, and immediately following, his recruitment to Col. The primary storyline is Wolverine's origin, hence the title. However, that content comprises less than half of the overall video game story, with the balance being exclusive to the game. Lead developer Dan Vondrak indicates that roughly 90% of the movie storyline is in the game.

The storyline is a mixture of the Wolverine back-story, which is explained in the film, and additional story material created by Raven Software.
