Bionic Commando Rearmed

[spyker3292]

Original, but for a complete list.
-D-pad (or stick)=move
-square=grenade
-circle=arm
-X=shoot
-L1/R1=switch weapon.
PS3 controls. I use the d-pad, of course. And yes, the default arm direction is diagonal 🙂.

I tried this game, it's actually pretty cool though the controls are a bit hard to get used to, they feel really clunky and slow until you get used to swinging and then they are pretty cool (probably since I never played the original Bionic Commando), the graphics and presentation are top-notch though. It's a bit annoying to play with the analog stick and aiming the arm is not always precise, but I was on a 360 so the analog stick was better than having to use the horrible D-Pad.

However, I'm not sure it's worth $15 and it's only available on Direct2Drive (which I hear is not very good) so I probably won't buy it. Maybe if it comes on Steam or a physical copy and the price gets sliced.

Pretty cool game, I haven't played enough to really give judgment on it but it seems IGN's 9.3 is a bit of a high score... I wonder if their challenge room and their affiliation with Direct2Drive had anything to do with it...

Cheers 🙂

More questions. 🙂

Does this game control like the original, or does it require two-analog sticks or a D-Pad + stick to play?

Just the sticks. You can use the D-pad if you are nuts though 🙂.

I like d-pads. 🙂

Well I'm glad there's options.

What's this Direct2Drive? Does that mean I would have to buy/download the game on the PC? I always buy and download my products on the Mac for that extra layer of protection, then transfer them to the PC.

What???? Why play this with sticks?? It's just not right. D-pad FTW!

Well... unless you are on a 360, then I feel your pain.
