Having never played the original Bionic Commando, Bionic Commando Rearmed provided me with an opportunity to play an updated version of what has been described as nothing short of a classic. After playing the remake for myself, I can certainly see why the game has earned the reputation is has. ...

An excellent remake, and an excellent game.

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, ...

Let me start off by saying that I bought this game on a splurge. I really didn't know what it was or why I should get it, but I wanted a new game so I decided to download it. I quickly realized that this was the game that I used ...

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 ...

Bionic Commando Rearmed Review
(
XBLM

Being that developer GRIN did such an excellent job of recreating the original Bionic Commando with its Rearmed remake, the game retains its excellent qualities, as well as the baggage of bad that accompanied it 20 years ago. While the still-original gameplay is both fast and fun, it is also ...

After 20 years of waiting and begging, the Bionic Commando franchise is coming back in a big way. This is all in part of Capcom's remake renaissance with such games like Street Fighter IV, Mega Man 9, and 1942: Joint Strike. Bionic Commando Rearmed is the official console remake for ...

Bionic Commando Rearmed

Originally released in 1988 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Bionic Commando was critically acclaimed for its innovative gameplay. The implementation of the grappling hook was not only said to be remarkably well-balanced for its time, but made for a welcomed change from the typical action game. If you were a ...

The original Bionic Commando for the NES is still one of my all time favorite games, the story was Super 80's Action Hero, and it was GREAT. So when i heard they where gonna "rearm" it for the new generation of consoles i was very excited but also worried the ...

Generally, a remake is what, a 3-D re-imagining of the source material? This is the impression I’m under, that developers are afraid of taking two steps back when they put out games because they think the market won’t accept anything less than full 3-D. And one look at Sega proves ...

The original Bionic Commando on the NES is revered by many for being a game that did things different, and did them well. The jump button was replaced by a unique "bionic arm" that enabled players to swing over obstacles and the game has, considered by many, one of the ...

Remakes are all the rage these days, and while on the one hand they can be shrugged off as a cheap way for lazy developers to cash in, occasionally they not only reinvigorate a franchise that's been dead for two decades, but also create a game that's a sheer joy ...

It's fair to say that Bionic Commando is a classic game, for many it's unforgettable and for good reason. So in an age where the Arcade is being reborn in a different style it was expected I guess that Bionic Commando would see a updated version hitting our consoles soon ...

Remakes of classic games don't always turn out to be as enjoyable or fulfilling as their originals, and Capcom has already proved so with recent releases of 1942: Joint Strike and Commando 3. Bionic Commando Rearmed is the latest installment in Capcom's nostalgic remake craze, deriving from the original Bionic ...
