Bionic Commando Review (ZTGD)

ZeroTolerance: If I had to pick one developer this year that has answered the call of hardcore gamers it would certainly have to be Capcom. So far in this year alone they have delivered a brand new Street Fighter and Resident Evil title, both of which were excellent titles in their respective genres. They continue the trend of resurrection with their latest 360 and PS3 title Bionic Commando; a follow-up to their classic side-scroller which was recently remade for the downloadable market. This new chapter in the series retains a lot of the original ideas, but also expands on most of them creating an experience that fans of the original and newcomers alike will undoubtedly enjoy.

Not a bad score

samura5457d ago

Not a bad game either. it has its flows. but I liked it a lot.

playing it on "Commando" currently.

J BO5457d ago

why it is 8.1 not 8 !!!!

silvacrest5457d ago

i do wanna get this but not at full price

i guess i'll wait a month or so...

ChampIDC5457d ago

I've been finding myself doing that more and more lately.

MajesticBeast5457d ago

finished it nice game sh!tty plot twists and trying to put way to much story in the game and i think people that played it know what im talking about.

DARK WITNESS5457d ago (Edited 5457d ago )

totally agree. if i can summarize...

the ingame cutscenes look very, very average.. but strangely enough, the ingame graphics in the campaign i thought were quite good. specially the lighting.

the whole jumping ans swinging mechanic is very cool, and really good fun, not to mention all the other stuff you can do with the arm.

the weapons are cool, but they don't give you enough ammo to make you feel they are worth using which is a shame. i think there is less ammo to be had in this game then there is in Dead space... which just feels wrong.

The story starts of very simple and typical for the type of game it is... but as my man said above the twist towards the end makes no sense at all.. i would love to rip it apart but i don't want to spoil it for anyone that has not played it.

its good fun and 100 % worth playing, but not at full price. it is the kind of game you can finish in a weekend. i got my copy from Zavvi for about £26. i finished it by sunday and traded it in for a credit which was £25 (this will go towards my infamous purchase ) amazon are also doing it for about £28. buy it, finish it in 2 days and trade it.

overall i would say this score is bang on. i would give it an 8 or an 8.5, its more fun then Ninja blade thats for sure.

Personally the game to me gets a 6, good ol school music, beautiful stages, arm works great, plot and dialogue shallow as Gears, Mag was a useless Claire Redfield, poor weapon choice, no enemy variety.

Rent it, or pick up at the bargain bin.

I thought Grin developed this game while capcom published it... well at least I know that my friends at Grin was actually involved in this game =) http://www.grin.se

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".

Eilers2480d 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.

hamzilla2851d 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

RosweeSon2851d 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 ;)

Zeldafan642849d ago

Rare developed but doesn't own Goldeneye 64.

pcz2849d 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.

Sitdown2849d 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

strayanalog2849d ago

Every game should have been included are you kidding?!

slate912849d ago (Edited 2849d ago )

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

HisRandomFriend2849d 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.

slate912849d 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

gerbwmu2848d 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
