    Bionic Commando Rearmed

    Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Aug 13, 2008

    Bionic Commando Rearmed is a remake of the classic NES game, Bionic Commando. Although it was designed mainly as a marketing tie-in to the 360 and PS3 game also called Bionic Commando, it was actually far, far better received by critics than the real console game.

    Good game, crap interface!

    This game is excellent and well worth the 800 points, but i find the 360 controller absolutely crap for this game. The analogue stick lacks the precision at times to latch on to the desired ledge, and quite often makes the gameplay slow down to a crawl  when you feel you should be swinging effortlessly. As for the D Pad, we all know how useless that is.

    The game looks lovely, bright colors and graphics that surpass most of the games available on the marketplace. The difficulty can be frustrating, but is exaggerated with the 360 controller. It Captures the addictive quality from the original, but brings it up to date with its high-def  makeover.

    In a nutshell, very good game, poor interface that make the game more difficult than it already is!

      An excellent remake, and an excellent game. 0

      As Nathan “Rad” Spencer parachutes onto the ground below, he soft lands, performs a forward roll, and gives a cheeky nod to the player holding the controller on the other side of the screen. He’s winking at you. Bionic Commando Rearmed is, itself, a remake of the classic NES game, a 2D-scrolling platformer/shooter, in which you control Nathan Spencer, a soldier working for the FSA (the Americans, broadly speaking) against a fascist separatist group called the Imperial Army (the Nazis, really).
