    As you play Bionic Commando, you'll be frequently struck by all the unexplored possibilities and how often the words "if only" cross your mind. "This area would be fun to explore, if only radiation didn't stop me dead in my tracks." "That firefight could be terrific, if only the weapons had oomph." "This seems like an interesting world, if only the main character gave me a reason to care." The bionic arm is a great idea that leads to some enjoyable moments, but it's not... Read more

    Ultimately, Bionic Commando should really be applauded for trying something new. It would have been very easy for both Capcom and GRIN to turn the 8-bit series into another samey run of the mill third-person shooter that plagues the market at the moment. Instead they went for something a bit different, and something that honours the roots of the Bionic Commando series. However, even these best intentions cannot hide the fact the game never consistently hits the epic... Read more

    Oh, Bionic Commando, what has GRIN done to you? We miss the old ginger superhero with a knack for cheesy one-liners. Now you're a world-weary convict with dreadlocks and a bad temper. Read more

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

    Nostalgia can be a problem. Sometimes the thing being resurrected doesn’t hold up to fond memories, as evidenced by a number of Xbox Live Arcade releases. The same cannot be said for Bionic Commando Rearmed, which hit the arcade last summer. It was a textbook example of how to revive a classic, with new visuals, a remixed soundtrack and minor additions to gameplay that remained faithful whilst managing to bring in the new. Now we have a proper sequel to the original,... Read more

    Just falls short of being a very good game. Ultimately it's let down by an uneven difficulty curve, checkpoints spaced out too far, long load times and an over-reliance on rushing a multitude of enemies at the player in an attempt to create a challenge. Also rather short at 7-8 hours playthrough. Read more

    What a waste of a legendary character, the game is mediocre at best. It has its moments but every level is pretty much the same. This is probably the dumbest ending to a story line since the Sopranos. If you must buy this is defiantly a $10.00 game. Read more

    People complaining about the story and the acting, are you serious? "Thank you, but our princess is in another castle." It is a video game, not Braveheart. The story fits the game and the acting is way better than most straight to DVD movies out there. It is a shame that there will not be a sequel to this one, because it was an absolute blast to play. For $7, you can't go wrong. Buy it! Read more
