Marvel's Wolverine motorcycle section and quicktime events are getting the wrong kind of attention because "the game plays itself" and "you don't have to press anything" (www.gamesradar.com)

"Motorcycle section" puts me off this game more than anything else I've heard.

To my ear, "motorcycle section" screams single-level set-piece on rails with minimal gameplay designed to show off explosions. Just like that level where you man a minigun out the door of a helicopter. You know the one, from every game released in the 2010s.

    All we had to do was follow the damn Train, CJ!

    If I recall correctly, the problem with that mission was that if you got TOO close to the train, the shooter couldn't hit anything, so the problem was the players did the mission TOO well. heh.

    One of the easiest ways to do it is not following the train at all, but riding a bit ahead where there’s a building next to the track you can get on top of, wait for the train to catch up, jump on it, and then just shoot the three guys normally.

    You can thank half life 2s vehicle traversal levels for that.

    HL2's airboat and vehicle sections weren't on-rails like this. You could get out and explore at any point with all the mechanics available to you. They even made it into a gigantic wave defense set piece for the final battle at the end of Episode 2.
