Bionic Commando Rearmed

superjoe's Bionic Commando Rearmed (PlayStation Network (PS3)) review

The definitive version of Bionic Commando

Pros:

• Level Design is faithful to the original
• Excellent Boss Design
• Each weapon has a purpose
• Upgradeable abilities
• Switching weapons on-the-fly
• Music & Sound
• Lighting Effects & Visual Style
• Replay value of Challenge Rooms
• Super Joe's Machine Gun

Cons:

• Old-school, trial-and-error gameplay will frustrate many
• Enemies don't get much smarter and are less varied towards the end
• Final level is ridiculously long and requires stocking up on lives
• Camera is too close on some difficult platforming sections
• Single-player is around 2 hrs long (excluding secrets, power ups, and dying)
• Challenge Rooms get insanely difficult quickly

Misc:

• Supports DualShock 3 rumble
• Audio on the PSN version is LOUD and bass-heavy
• Crashed on me twice
• Runs at 16x9 1080
• Smooth 60fps framerate throughout
