Just Couldn't Get Into It

Bionic Commando is an okay game. It was fun to swing around with the arm, but that's all that it really has going for it. I didn't even finish the game because some parts are just really annoying. For instance, when you die they make you start at checkpoints further away from where you die. So that means you have to redo a bunch of parts before you get back to where you were before you die. It just gets annoying and frustrating and it doesn't make me really want to go back and do things all over again. It's worth checking out for a few days though, but a waste of time trying to finish it. There are a lot better games out there.

It's OK, just not my style of game

I played the original Bionic Commando and it was always cool. With this new and improved version, love the look of it, but gameplay isn't the best to me. Little things bugged me, like not being able to grapple anything at anytime, when I know the arm could reach what I was trying to grapple. And the lack of ammo given is ridiculous. I gave up on the board where you had to get to the crash recon site and everything is pretty much underwater. You had to go halfway across the board, trying to avoid sniper fire, JUST to get a sniper rifle. Then once you do, you had to fight one of those biotech robots on a broken highway surrounded my water. NO WAY!!!! When I fought the first two on that one area, I needed all that space to maneuver to get behind them to attack. Threw the game back in the envelope and shipped out.

I was a huge fan of the original Bionic Commando, if only because there was such freedom and momentum from swinging all over the place without having to worry about tactics. That freedom is revoked in this game; you have the power to swing from any object, but enemies are placed to ensure that you don't exercise this freedom, at least not without dying. Lethal, unmarked radiation zones strictly enforce a linear mission area, as well as the fact that your super-soldier will drown in two feet of water. Granted, flinging cars into people is a great game mechanic, but after three levels of grinding through completely one-directional missions and some of the most utterly tedious boss fights I've ever seen, I'm sending this fecal water slide back.
