Classic side-scrolling gameplay is reporting back for duty with Bionic Commando Rearmed, a remake of the classic NES game, out now on PC. 20 years after the 8-bit classic was released, Bionic Commando Rearmed recreates the world of the original with a complete "2.5D" visual revamp.
I remember when Bionic Commando Rearmed first came out on the PlayStation 3. I bought it right away and absolutely loved the music, the gameplay, and just the overall feel of it. Later, when I switched to PC, I was so excited to see it was available there too. It was the same with the other Bionic Commando game—the one with the dreads. I bought both...
Took me a lot of time to barely start it, but there is a different problem - controls are so stiff and awkward, and the game feels too short. Probably the only game in the world where the Game Boy version feels better!
I would recommend it but only during big discount. Not worth the full price, that's for sure, especially since it's not optimized properly...
An excellent remake of the original classic.
A classic game remade with fresh 3D graphics. Had a bit of trouble reading my gamepad and some of the interfacing feels weird. Controls are extra weird and had to acclimate to the button layout each time I booted it up (sometimes even between missions). I actually really REALLY dislike the controls. Moving while swinging or hanging from your arm automatically...
A nice homage to the original NES game with some nice visuals based upon when the game came out. The game is definitely more forgiving then the original from what I remember. However, I did have to look up how to figure out some of the bosses. Nevertheless, for the cost of a bag of chips, give or take, I definitely had my worth of fun.
