starcrunch061 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 It's really cheap now, but I was hoping for a few opinions of seasoned veterans. I loved the original "Bionic Commando" for the NES, but that seems so very long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_captain29 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I picked this up for $10 new, and I have to say its pretty bad. So bad its not worth $10? I don't know. But if I had paid for this on release day I would have been so ashamed I would have fallen myself on a sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krimmson Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I actually got this for $2.72 yesterday (FYE had a 75% discount on all new games that were released before November 1st 2009) and it's really starting to piss me off. The horrible checkpoints, the crappy swinging engine and all of those challenges almost make me regret spending almost 3 bucks on this game. If I paid $60 for this, I'd be furious.

billygolden78 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) i'd have to disagree with everyone. bought it new for $10 last week and am enjoying it! yes, the checkpoint system is a bit cruel, but i think these are some of the funnest trophies out there. its by no means a perfect game, but the gaming value FAR exceeds its price. if you havent tried it out, what are you waiting for???

Roughdawg4 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I got it off Gamefly used for $3 (with a $5 off coupon) and it totally satisfied me. I figured spending that much it couldn't disappoint and I was happy by the end it was worth it.  it is definetly challenging so you will feel like you earned your platinum.

Notpig53 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 i loved this game, tho it could of been a solid 9 if grin could of polished it. which i feel was due to them going bankrupt. they made a couple really fun but not quite finished games in the end.

Kingaling Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Its a hard game to get the hang of but once you do its really good fun. If you can get it cheap its well worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarksKettle Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I enjoyed the game overall. The collection trophies are a complete pain but I already ran my mouth about that in another thread. It is worth the bargain price but certainly not $60.00....as a matter of fact, I am finding it harder and harder to justify $60.00 for most any game lately.

MalchiorX Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) It definitely wasn't like the original, but it was fun to play. Rearmed is way better and worth everyone's time. Edited August 2, 2010 by MalchiorX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlito Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 the game was alright but not that good neither that bad, it just felt like a bit strange without any cutscenes there was only a few in the game and the game kinda felt long but the gameplay was ok but it could have been better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroSprite Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 This game was pretty original. It's an alright game. Worth $15 imo. The trophies really suck because the game autosaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron_granny69 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 For under $20 its a buy. Its a fun game, the swinging is fun, weapons are cool, enemies are also cool, boss fights werent to bad. Trophies arent to hard to collect. So if you like what you read above and 3rd person games & if you can get foe under $20 buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollomau5 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yeah, it's not good at all really. It provides some mild entertainment for a brief while, and granted it is a bit of a trophy-fest given how easily obtained some of them are (just for completing, for example a jump). However, after like the first 'level' it just gets so repetitive and is a rubbish gaming environment.  I bought it for £5 and still think it's worth about £2 (being generous). I would've liked it had it been half an hour long so it ended before I hated it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE FUZER Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Im starting to think now that this suck ass game is'nt even worth the trophies, and i got it for three quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBroly Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 The Trophies are pretty much all linked to in-game challenges. The fact that you have to get all Collectibles/Challenges on a single playthrough is terrible. The game is pretty hard, too. Getting Platinum is not for the weak of heart. I think the game starts out way too punishing; once you get an Armor upgrade the game gets some good levels going and it isn't as punishing anymore. I will under no circumstances even attempt Commando mode. EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinRG Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The game is different. It's punishing, it's lame at some points, but it's rewarding. Of all the plats I've ever earned, this one probably falls in my top five. The satisfaction that I got after beating the game in one runthrough was amazing. There are only two games this gen that I felt really improved my skills: Call of Duty World at War Bionic Commando When I picked up those games, we didn't have a Platinum Difficulty rating, only a time frame. After griding through those two, all subsequent FPS and Third Person Shooters felt like a breeze. Besides, the first time I heard this theme whilst swinging sent chills down my spine: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBzJrrBLrJ0]YouTube - Bionic Commando [Music] - Main Theme[/ame] This song alone warrants a purchase.

Labartu Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I bought the game for 20€ and never regretted it. Yes, it's not a great game, but it's definitely worth the time you spent with it, and it's rewarding to accomplish the platinum trophy for it. Give it ago for under 20 bucks, there are many games 10 times worse than this one (Yes Eat Lead, I'm looking at you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
URETROID Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I've buyed it for 8 euros and for me this game is better than prototype and infamous. More freedom and some good fights. I've had a good time with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudezombiekiller Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I bought this for the unbelievable price of £3 from HMV brand new. First playthrough was horrible.... Very worried I wouldnt get collectables/challenges all sorted in time. Turned out to be very easy though !!. Nearly finished on commando and Im really enjoying it. Gonna be very satisfying to get platinum on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worldhobo Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 This game was quite fun to play but some things i did not like: 1. The swing mechanic can be quite frustrating but with practice you will get better. 2. Chapter select for missing trophies... you miss one collectable and you have to re-start your game from scratch.

lordmartock Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) Yes, some of the game is frustrating........but what game isn't? Hell...Ice Age had those damn egg rolling challenges that suck. Â Overall...I am getting a kick out of it. Yes...it does suck when you die and have to go back and collect everything again, but I am not getting overly pissed about it. Yes...I will have to replay it through again, missed one collectable. Gives me time to practice those damn swing moves more. At least the trophies are tied in with the challenges. I am seriously thinking of buying it from gamefly so I can take my time to work on it....and not try to blast through it for the TSL.

SoPoF Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Hm, the only thing I didn't like was the story and there should have been more and better boss encounters. Everything else I absolutely loved from the swinging mechanics to the style and the music ... I had been worried about the controls, but they worked (almost?) perfectly. Sure, in terms of collecting trophies, the challenges were kind of cruel as for some, you couldn't do them once you missed the final opportunity, so on the second run, I felt kind of pressured, but still ... I had so much fun and - I can only stretch this - the swinging felt totally natural and fun and the controls for it worked really, really well. I had sold it after having platinumed it (do this with almost all my games) and when I saw it for the very, very low price later, I was considering repurchasing it because I liked it so much. But then it was sold out next time I was there. However, I hope they'll make a sequel, I really do. I don't get why people complain about the swinging and the controls at all. And my favorite genre is point&click adventures, so don't tell me they were bad, I mean, if I had no issues ... Ah, wait, another thing I hated were the ingame ads in the first chapters.

Mahibs Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Well I hope it's a good game, because i just bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
