Bionic Commando Review (D+PAD)

D+PAD: It’s this intention and lack of compromise that is Bionic Commando’s saving grace, a game that seems to acknowledge the current state of the industry whilst pretending that none of it – the photo-realism, the open worlds – is actually happening. To set Bionic Commando against any of the current and forthcoming crop of superlative action games (inFamous, Uncharted 2) would be unfair and slightly missing the point. It’s a game that, in nearly every way, refuses easy comparisons. A flawed, yet incredibly enjoyable, history lesson.
