Eurogamer: Bionic Commando Review

Eurogamer writes: "By the time I reached the end of that campaign, I was experiencing mixed emotions. GRIN has certainly taken the load off combat boots wearied by too many open worlds with great effect, but although you travel over rather than along them, they are still highways of debris passing beneath your feet, and all you are doing is pausing occasionally to dispatch the people you meet and consult the A-to-Z. The result, though stylish and engaging, is something rather more primitive than the more enjoyable battles - where the bionic swing and core combat work in closest collaboration - really deserve. Bionic Commando succeeds in resurrecting a good idea lost to the Capcom archives, and giving it a new lease of life, but it falls foul of a few old standards in the process".

Can't say I'm suprised the score is this low, in fact I expected it to be lower after playing that terrible multiplayer demo.

s8anicslayer5464d ago

Yeah I agree, my opinion of this game turned sour after that virtual gymnasium multiplayer demo, man that was really bad.

With Infamous, Red Faction Guerrilla, Prototype, Blazblue, Fight Night Round 4, and Cross Edge right around the corner, I won't even rent this garbage.

Unicron5464d ago

It's sad that in this day and age, 7 is considered a "low score" when its out of 10. Maybe they should just fix the scale already, and change the ratings from 70% to 100%, where anything less than 85% is a flop. Would save us plenty of time.

Also, hah, Eurogamer. I wonder how long they DIDN'T play this game for, like Darkfall. I don't see why anyone gives a damn about what they say.

Close_Second5464d ago

7/10 is a fine score for a budget game or something you download off PSN/XBL. It is not what I'd want to see for a full price game.

SL1M DADDY5464d ago

It's amongst other titles that score around 7. But when you have a dozen titles that score 8's or 9's, the 7's tend to look a little dated. Sorry, but scores are for critics and fan boys, if you really want to get the feel for a game, play it and rate it yourself. In the end, you are the best critic of your gaming.

"It's sad that in this day and age, 7 is considered a "low score" when its out of 10"

I agree,
people can say what they want about Edge, but when they think a game is average (not rubbish) they give it a 5 or 6, in most cases on other websites and stuff a 5 or 6 is considered 'avoid at all costs'

too many 9's and 10's these days, those scores should be saved for games that take a particular genre to a new level.

Actually not bad. I thought it was going to get lower. I'll have to maybe rent it or pick it up on budget. After all, do ya'll remember how thrilling the first time you played Spiderman 2 was?

Polluted5464d ago

Spiderman 2? Sssh. This is N4G. We're supposed to hate everything Treyarch touches, remember?

Mucudadada5464d ago

Lol! Sorry, I forgot my N4G manners. Let me edit my comment.

THIS GAEM SUX. I BET IT WUD BE BETR IF IT WUZ A PS3 EXCLUSVE!

aldesko5464d ago

It's getting a wide range of reviews.. I'll probably check it out since I actually had a little fun with the MP demo.

spunnups5464d ago

I gotta atleast rent this. I think it has a great concept.

HDgamer5464d ago

I honestly forgot about this game.

I did not murder him5464d ago

The demo angered me it was so tacked on and bad.

Genuinely a poor list. When I read a title like "Worst Male Character Designs.." I expect the author to have some grasp of artistic methods, aesthetics, and knowledge--but here all we get is a few sentences which add up to "dun like the character because they look angsty".

Eilers2478d ago

Prince - Warrior Within
Danta - DmC
Chris Redfield - RE 5
Rad Spencer - Bionic Commando
Remy -SF 3 Third Strike

Not worth a reading IMO

8-Bit Oversights: Games That Should Have Been Included In The New Mini NES Classic Edition

So, Nintendo's got a new mini NES with 30 games packed in.Here's 12 classics they snubbed.

hamzilla2849d ago

It is called rights, and RARE is no longer got any rights with Nintendo. as for some of the others, maybe someday they will be added VC games can be downloaded to it FYI

RosweeSon2849d ago

Rare have got all the rights to their games FYI. The only games rare don't own the rights to are where Nintendo characters are involved I.E the donkey kong games, Diddy Kong racing etc. Hence why banjo is on Xbox ;)

Zeldafan642848d ago

Rare developed but doesn't own Goldeneye 64.

pcz2847d ago

i find it funny that you think nintendo didnt give careful consideration to the 30 games it included in the collection.

any games not included were left out for a reason.

Sitdown2848d ago

Super Dodge Ball was great, but how do you forget Track and Field, Double Dribble, Skate or Die, Paperboy, Bad Dudes, Top Gun, Blades of Glory, WrestleMania, Tecmo wrestling, bomberman, etc

strayanalog2848d ago

Every game should have been included are you kidding?!

slate912848d ago (Edited 2848d ago )

what size are these pixel games? And can they only fit 30?

HisRandomFriend2848d ago

There are probably about 5MB worth of games here. I didn't feel like doing the exact math, but considering these games average from 8KB to 128KB My estimate may in fact be too high. The user interface will probably be about 1GB (1024MB) so I'd be surprised if this thing even holds 2GB, honestly it probably costs Nintendo less than $5 to make one. That being said I'll probably still buy one since it looks pretty neat.

slate912847d ago

Agreed it does look good. Im just being a spoiled american and wishing it was more than 30 games or at least a promise to add future titles

gerbwmu2847d ago

At one point it was reported that the Wii had enough memory to fit every game in the library of NES & SNES in it woth room to spare so I think these 30 games take up even less then your estimates
