I don't think just having werewolf enemies would be a lot of fun. There's only so many silver bullets you can buy before you start to think that the money might be better served feeding starving orphans or buying a speed boat.
However - a game where you play as a werewolf. That might be fun. You wouldn't even need much of a story, just a sandbox filled with delicious human beings and the occasional vampire to please the 13 year old girl demographic.
Like with my Google maps themed sandbox shooter - this idea is mine and mine alone!

Maybe a werewolf hunting game Van Hellsing style? Just being a werewolf would be tough
Getting the combat right would be tough (twilight princess wolf combat was cool, if they had only adding more then, like, 2 combos or special attacks).
Biggest issue:story. Really, what are your trying to accomplish as a werewolf, and are you staying true to the legend? and not bullshit things like our latest "werewolf" encounter... Twilight...

I don't know the name, but it was a Japanese made WWII turn based strategy game where the Nazis were using vampires, so the British forces start using werewolves. I'm not making this up.
If someone knows the name of this game, I'll be a happy panda.

I clicked that link and my computer decided to not show the picture for a few seconds. I didnt find it all that scary but I did scoot my chair back a few inches against my will.Nixzilla said:
Anyways I would love to see a werewolf game either with werewolves as the protagonist or antagonist.
Dang now my mind is filled with game Ideas.
As far as I know, there's not a single game out there that allows you to truly play as a werewolf.
The closest one was TES III: Bloodmoon, which did offer some fun by allowing you to stalk prey and gave you incredible strength and speed. The downside is playing on Solstheim is tough if you're below level 15.
Here's an idea: Make a werewolf game that primarily uses the stealth elements of Thief and Assassin's Creed in an open world similar to that in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or Red Dead Redemption. Combine Adventure, Role-Playing, Action and Fighting elements as needed.

Bloodmoon was incredible, and it is a real shame that there aren't more werewolves in video games. They would have been perfect in Oblivion (thank you mods though), so I think that games of that nature could easily incorporate them as NPCs hiding amongst the populace or even allowing you as the player to contract lycanthropy.
As for a werewolf focused game, I think it could most certainly be done. Much of it boils down to narrowing down the "type" of werewolf (what myths are true in the game along with any newly imagined werewolf traits), the setting (Fantasy/Middle Ages, Present Day, near-Future), and the general conflict. Conflicts could involve you in a clan of other werewolves fighting another clan or different faction entirely, a lone wolf out for survival while hiding during the day, or all sorts of varied and combined elements.
Considering the complaints of games not being innovative enough, I think that it's high time we see a great werewolf game sink its fangs into the neck of the status quo.
