IGN: Bionic Commando Review

IGN: "Over twenty years ago, Capcom introduced gamers to a story where the hero was dropped deep behind enemy lines with little more than a pistol and a bionic arm. Bionic Commando went on to become an action classic thanks to its challenge and its gameplay, and fans of the original will frequently tell you stories of how fun, but also how difficult the game was.

In many ways, it was a badge of honor to play through and complete, and players eagerly awaited the next chapter for Rad Spencer. While the original was remade in last year's critically acclaimed Bionic Commando Rearmed, Grin took almost another year in producing a true sequel, also called Bionic Commando. Confusion of naming conventions and systems for each game aside, the new Bionic Commando is an enjoyable addition to the franchise for action fans."

I didn't like the multiplayer demo at all it sucked to be honest

qface645870d ago

an 8 seems about right for this game
didn't feel or look like a 9 and up game
doesn't look bad but it doesn't look amazing either just alright

what i personally don't like is the character model

TOO PAWNED5870d ago

I don't see purpose for this game, it seems so pointless. That retro version last year was awesome and made sense, but this 3d "let's get them on nostalgia" isn't working for me. Looks more like 7 than 8

Briyen5870d ago

noooo and i loved bionic commando rearmed so much

pi- piiii!!

Ghoul5870d ago

*shakes head*
"Looks more like 7 than 8 "

oh boy i dont really need to comment that do i ?

Blaze9295870d ago

And the correct score showing should be a 7/10 and a 8/10 from IGN US.

But yeah I'm shocked, either IGN is out of their minds or the single-player must be really good becuase that Multiplayer demo was UNBELIEVABLY awful. I played that thing for 5 minutes before I quit and deleted it.

Then you have Gameinformer giving it a 5/10. Dunno, hope a SP demo comes out.

table5870d ago

You must remember that IGN work on a 8 - 10 scale. 8 being horrific and 10 being unbelievably amazing.

I'm passing on this one, for now at least. I want to get the full GH Metallica set as well as inFamous so I think I'll save my cash.

Eiffel5870d ago (Edited 5870d ago )

Guitar Hero Metallica? Pfft save your money. My friend was unlucky enough to think a metal variation of Guitar Hero would be challenging at all if not even fun. Its really just been dumbed down for casuals. Not a good game in the least from his opinion.

Its worth a rent, but thats about it.

LightofDarkness5870d ago

...and I'll say it again: IGN hand out high-scores like sweets. They are afraid of pissing off both fanboys and publishers alike. IGN UK and AU give more reasonable and honest scores, but the US IGN seems to be the official a**-kissing and lip-service site. People who think IGN are the most "credible" review source need to think again. Its like "here Capcom, we gave your shoddy game an 8, can we have more exclusives please?"

PrimordialSoupBase5870d ago

Agreed. But having played it through to the end, Bionic Commando is pretty solid and it merits this review.

The problem is that Capcom put out the worst demo imaginable; singleplayer is leagues better than multiplayer. But the damage has been done I suppose.

Panthers5870d ago

IGN gives scores that seem justified. I trust their reviews.

meetajhu5870d ago

LOL @ Pepsi and Nvidia Ads!!! hahahha

Rob0g0rilla5870d ago (Edited 5870d ago )

I thought the online was terrible. I didn't like the controls at all(definitely something to get to used to). I had planned on buying this day one but thanks to the demo I'll probably just rent it.

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".

Eilers2885d 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.

hamzilla3256d 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

RosweeSon3256d 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 ;)

Zeldafan643254d ago

Rare developed but doesn't own Goldeneye 64.

pcz3254d 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.

Sitdown3254d 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

strayanalog3254d ago

Every game should have been included are you kidding?!

slate913254d ago (Edited 3254d ago )

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

HisRandomFriend3254d 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.

slate913254d 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

gerbwmu3253d 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
