    I think it looks awesome. I remember playing the original and while it was fun, it wasn't amazing. But the new vamped-up 3-D version has impressed me. Your thoughts?

    After seeing the Gamespot E3 Live Coverage all i can think about is buying this game and hopefully getting my hands on that lifesize Bionic arm Ryan McDonald was wearing during the live demo. The game looks pretty awesome to be honest, bionic arm + spider man style swinging = great!

    I'm looking forward to Bionic Commando: Rearmed more so than the "3-D" title.

    Also more exited by the 2D version, I have this odd feeling that the gameplay here might not be that good (well, at least the shooting doesn't look that solid from what I've seen), but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong.

    They are either going to nail the swing mechanic, or make it difficult to use.  Previews indicate that they've got that part figured out, and the environment (a recently destroyed city) has a lot to swing from/attach to.  I'm sure there will be other environments, but the screens I've seen seem pretty good.

    I care more about Rearmed, though, I'm not going to lie.

    It looks great so far, like a westernized Lost Planet. I'll definitely be buying it!

     I can't wait for this one.  The swinging action looks like it could be fun.  I hope the combat is fun though.

    I wish they would give a more specific release date, otherwise I fear this might fall into 2009.

    The game looks nice, but i would actually prefer "rearmed", the 360 arcade update.

    I saw some fighting awhile ago against a big robot. It looked pretty boring-generic. Like Spider-Man combat.

    Depends how fun the swinging is.

    Bionic Command Rearmed has made me somewhat hopeful, but I'm not going to get my hopes up too much.  The swinging mechanic has already been done fairly well in the Spiderman games, so... it really needs to bring more to the table than just that.  I think it's all going to hinge on level design, which I get the impression is going to be roller-coaster-esque, which is fine by me.

    I am looking forward to the game, but I'm not too hyped. I'm just not sure that the game will be anything more than just a good rental.

    well im extremely excited because also that this game focuses on just being FUN no pushing the envelope in gameplay or graphics or shit like that it just focuses on FUN LIKE GAMES SHOULD 

    also people keep an eye on the tokyo game show next week the producer ben judd said that hes gonna make an announcement about the game that will make your "balls sack pucker up" but i bet giantbomb will cover it perfectly as usual

    There are too many other games I REALLY want for me to get too excited about this right now but it might make it onto my wishlist depending on what I still want when it is released.

    It looks pretty cool, but I hated that they delayed it. But I wouldn't want them to release a un-finished game.

    Not really, I have the feeling it's going to be one of those decent but not memorable 3 star games.
