Bionic Commando: Rearmed Review
Posted by Jereme Mr. Evil Puik, 130 days ago

The trials you have to go through during each level make you scratch your head wondering why developers decided to go this route. You never really get a full sense of accomplishment, for instance as you progress through each level if you suddenly die from one of the boss battles you’ll be forced to start the level over again. 

The biggest problem of the game is getting through the main level selection. Unlike most games, it doesn’t force you to complete the level to move on to the next. You can just quit and move into another direction to the next level nearest you. This is a problem because on top of that you have enemy trucks riding along the map and every time you move they move on spot. So, if you happen to run into them, you can’t leave until you defeat their squad. Even that is challenging to say the least, considering inside those levels are trucks of enemies and some sort of “mini-boss” at the end.

Again, if you die you will be forced to start over again from the beginning. Don’t forget the multiplayer involved here. It is actually quite fun and could serve as quite the time waster. The multiplayer is just a small part to a bigger game that will give even the experienced gamer an interesting session.

 Our Rating for Bionic Commando: Rearmed Review
7.5
Replay
Because of the difficulty of the game overall, it might be hard for some gamers to return.
8.0
Graphics
A fresh look gives this classic new life in the next-generation. 3d animation works almost flawlessly on the 2d plane.
8.0
Sound
Simple sound effects give the game a more distinct nature. Its overall sounds might bring back memories from the NES days.
7.0
Gameplay
It might be difficult for some gamers to grasp a hold of. The grapple hook takes a while to get used too and to master the many challenges it presents through each level.
8.0
Multiplayer
Found it to be very addicting at times and can be either frustrating or exciting as every gamer is different.
7.9
Overall
Bionic Commando Rearmed is fun and great for a gamer looking for a challenge. If you’re new to the series, you won’t go wrong checking this out. The difficulty might stray some away, but it gets better over time.
