pub games is pretty fun i liked it, but i downloaded the demo of BC it was a nice improvment visually but wasnt a big fan of the controls and it was queer in the sense of you cant do shit in the demo, like the tap communication stuff said something like too bad you cant read this because its the demo, then you get to the first boss which isnt far away at all, and you see this pissing contest between a robot and the guy and it said at the end shutting down becuse this is a demo. im like wtf? i could have gotten better at the controls and maybe come to like and bought the game, but not now. at least pub games is fun though.
can’t see the advantge of playing part of all full game. ill just wait for fable, id prefer to have to earn my money in the game anyway
Bionic Commando was one of my favorite games when I was younger. I must have played through it 25-50 times. I will definitely get “REARMED”.
BC has recieved a 9.5 score from IGN so far. I haven’t seen any other scores yet but I was going to buy this anyways.
BC seems pretty decent… i only played the tutorial and the 2 challenge levels and it looks like it could be worth the purchase
There’s no jumping in Bionic Commando. That’s just wrong.
The pub games are damn fun.
Veritas, there was no jumping in the original BC so why add it? That would ruin the game!
It kinda ruined it for me as well not being able to jump over a lousy barrel…
Agreed, that’s quite annoying. =P It’s been ruined already, in my book.
