Perhaps not. But it is better reviews than the sum of its main users? You bet it is. The problem with "Bionic Commando" for the PS3/Xbox360 is that the amount they bought more than 70% of them at least, has no idea about the history of this game. For me, the game is not perfect, but a game not to fun and worthwhile. BC makes this claim and is about 8 x's in spades out of 10 The graphics are probably about 80% on par with what you have come to know as acceptable.Which, to say the least, are damned good. Even on a par with Uncharted 2 times, if you ask me. Well, that depends on the used TV as well. I use a top end 52in 1080P 120Hz Sony Bravia TV, professionally calibrated "ADUDIO IND / Visual." BC looks pretty sharp but the majority of the game. There must not hold forever, though. It sometimes comes quality. But what is not for a game? Uncharted 2 are amazing quality of the final level of the game. This just tend to reduce their qualitymore often.
As for length, it is not terribly long, but it's not terrible, "Heavenly Sword" In short, either. It is of considerable length. Is it worth stealing the ticket price for new and used, with an absolute price.
The gameplay is a mixed bag, but not in a bad way. It is really worthwhile to play this game because the "swing" mechanism, the arm actually need skill to be used. And even if you become adept enough to use the "Bionic Arm" a certain measure of success, you will always wantto polish your skills. It really is a game that eye for an eye. If the "arm" and "Swing" is anything you learn like a cheap death. When you go in blind and arcade all around pipe and buildings like Spiderman, no. It will not happen t. This game takes "skill" as well as the games from the past to use, only now with higher production values. Learn the "arm" and the game is very rewarding. Trust me.
One thing that I do not like is to save the locations.Too far away, and too little of each other. There are times that you'll be at the end of a level, and some of them are long Rater miss, and a jump through the ignorance of the "arm" good enough and die. This will send you all the way back to the start. Some say it punishes the players too often. I tend to agree with the latter. They "could" was a bit more lax here. But it is not impossible, to say the least. It's frustrating when grown.
The story is completely ballz. It is nonsense, and it ispretty forgettable. It will not win any Oscars, and it is not worth much to the speeches from the past that right here. View the story for you have been to, not because you want it. But that does not mean the whole game is meaningless, it is not. It is only less than stellar in the storytelling department. To skip the stories and make yourself as you play through it. "Ha!"
At the end of the game was fun. I had a better time playing this as a set of AAA games are, thegot the higher score nods and sales. Bionic Commando is a worthy game have in your collections. Sure some things are not as that would have or as much as other games out there, but what makes this polished fun. And that's all that matters. A game is for fun Bionic Commando and are played largely successful.

Amazing level design, great dialogue and story – b-gat – Austin, TX United States
I bought this thinking is a senseless action game would be. I was surprised how Engaging I found the story, and above all, had acted as fantastic voice. Seriously! I normally do not care about the voice acting, but this really made the game for me. Anime fans will immediately recognize, Steven Jay Blum (Spike from Cowboy Bebop), the rest of the cast is top notch as well. Even better is to tell the voice actors are interesting, often funny things. I was shocked.
History is unpredictable, unique and above all. There is a twist at the end that have a lot of people complained about it, I thought it was pretty neat, personally. The only thing I did not end the story (which extends to the game not like as a whole) is that he would like a bit abrupt. It gives you the feeling that the build-up in some epic story with a number of interesting characters, and then it suddenly wraps things half-hearted way. It felt like the designerthe money went and gave up the second half of the site.
What gameplay, I think that's a lot of fun, but it's definitely not perfect. It's amazing fun through an environment, swing, once you get to shoot, but it is rarely enough space to indulge this impulse for a long time. The battle system is fun, but the boss battles are some pretty egregious cheap shots.
Besides the voice acting, I think the greatest strength of the game is the level design (apart fromthe lack of space swinging, I mean). Some of the later environments are very beautiful, and they are all in the way that are actively interesting set. Many people complain that it's not a sandbox and that the radiation will kill you if you leave the path, but I have nothing against linearity in games where the levels are designed well, and I did not have much trouble with the radiation . I thought the radiation was a clever move by the part designer, and breaks – it's not immersionto do almost as much as invisible walls. The designers had a lot of clever ideas like that one of my favorites the communications relay. You get a lot of information about vulnerabilities and enemy your character's back story by intercepting enemy communications, rather than just say things with an ally, as in most action games.
All in all, I think this game is better than most reviewers give it credit for. It has some really frustrating elements (such as the "challenges"System – most of the rewards are not worth the trouble), but I think making skimp its originality and attention to detail on other games it is worth playing.
Worth a play at a cheap price – Veronika Schmidt – Pennsylvania, USA
The game definitely lacks polish and this time no one plays multiplayer. If you get the game for about $ 10, you can have some interesting gameplay mechanics. Better than a PSN download, but not worthy to be a retail title. Once you get the hang of the bionic arm, it is playing pretty funny. Although the game looks like a big open sandbox game is fairly linear with radiation is used as invisible walls to prevent you from straying too far from the beaten track.
Solid but with some frustrating annoyances – Karen Turner –
It's a solid game, as long as you do not expect too much out of it. The gameplay is a little on the shallow side, but that does not stop it from B-movie fun. There were some very Annoyances, as when you complete a challenge, or have you had a collector's item to include it in the next autosave for them. Not a big deal, but somewhat annoying if you finish a challenge on a difficult part. Repeating cutscenes after you had died also particularly annoying, because you can notskip. Overall, I do not think it would be worthwhile to be a full price game, but for 10-15 dollars, and you can see it, superficiality and its errors, its a fun experience is worth the admission price.
