Pros & Cons

  • decent third person action, it has crisp, the swinging mechanic, so colorful, the guns feel good

    There's fun (in parts) but this is technically iffy and delivers a limited world. Read more

    19 May 2009 - Fans of old school gaming will no doubt remember both the original Bionic Commando, as well as the impressive remake released as a digital download last year. Starring a hero packing a huge grappling hook that allowed him to hook onto platforms and head to the heavens, Bionic Commando was a fantastic old school 2D platformer. This brand new attempt to bring the series into the modern gaming world unsurprisingly takes things into full scale 3D. Now instead... Read more

The result, though stylish and engaging, is something rather more... Read more

    Bionic Commando (2009) Back in the 80s when gaming was simpler, players were given quite a revolutionary game called Bionic Commando. A side scroller in which, rather than jumping over obstacles and shooting enemies in your path, you couldn't jump but could use a bionic arm which could attatch to objects and swing over traps and deadly pits. And while you could fire guns, you could also throw objects at enemies using the arm. It was really quite impressive for it's time,... Read more
