    Swing, Shoot, Repeat, but very pretty!

    Bionic Commando, is the reboot of the old NES franchise that was one of the first game  that deserved a M rating, due to Hitlers head exploding! But anyways, the game begins with Nathan in jail because people with bionic's have been outlawed by the goverment. anyways you get a task from the government to check a city that was just nuked by terriost. When you finally get to start playing, you wont have your bionic arm, so youll have to run around a find it. when you do, you will swing around the town, then kill people, repeat, until final stage. I played on normal, and went it was a challenging or as long as it coulda been, Seeing it took me a massive 4 hours and 37 minutes to beat, on normal. The Story Line is one of uttermost confusion is you dont watch every video, or if you know nothing about the original Bionic Commando. The Graphics are well the best thing about the game, as everything is extremely colorful, and pretty to look at. The Weapons lack appeal, and are totally uninspired, except the Terminator 2 gun, called the Bulldog.
    The Multiplayer is a big let down imo, has it just gets extremely boring to continue to swing, shoot, repeat. Overall id say its worth a rent, but the 60 dollar price tag is a little extreme. I'd buy it for 40.

It means there is something about the experience that is resonating with me. Something that is drawing me back time and time again and therefore I must like the game. However, those feelings of elatio...

      It’s been a long time coming, Spencer. Was it worth the wait? 0

      The original console version of Bionic Commando, released on the NES in 1988, presented a completely new way to play the classic side-scrolling action game; replacing the jump button with a unique bionic arm. Rather than leap across hazardous gaps and pitfalls, players were required to use the arm to swing and climb through the levels, as it was implemented in many different ways to tackle certain situations, enemies and boss fights. It may have taken some getting used to, but once players becam...
