Product Description:
The first true sequel to the classic 1988 Nintendo Entertainment System original, Bionic Commando sees the return of the bionically-enhanced Nathan "Rad" Spencer, voiced by Mike Patton, the former lead singer of Faith No More. Time has not been kind to Spencer: 10 years after his heroic defeat of the Imperials in the original game, he has been betrayed by the government he swore to serve, imprisoned for crimes he didn't commit, and sentenced to death. On the very day of Spencer's execution, terrorists detonate a massive experimental weapon in Ascension City, unleashing an intense earthquake that has turned the city into rubble and wiped out its population. With the terrain in ruins and the city's air defense grid now in the control of a massive terrorist force whose goal remains unclear, the FSA have only one option left - a behind-the-lines assault. The perfect job for a Bionic Commando. Bionic Commando transposes the swing-and-shoot gameplay of the 8-bit original to a stunning 3D environment of towering buildings, suspended roadways and monorails, deep canyons and sheer rock faces, where every environment is scalable using swinging, scaling, climbing and wall-walking techniques. Starring Mike Patton, the former lead singer of Faith No More, as the voice of Nathan Spencer

Bionic Commando is back, now on the Xbox 360, 20 years after the NES classic was initially released. And returning with it is the swinging bionic arm game mechanic that made it so popular and critically acclaimed. Bionic Commando makes the move to 3D, and gamers will be able to grapple, swing, and scale a giant environment filled with buildings, canyons, and more.

Bionic Commando takes place 10 years after the 1988 game, with Nathan Spencer again the protagonist. Voiced by Mike Patton, ex-Faith No More singer, Spencer is betrayed by his government, falsely accused of murder and sentenced to execution. Just prior to his execution, however, the city is bombed and Spencer is asked to track down the terrorists in return for his freedom.
Bionic Arm Offers New Control Possibilities
Like in the original game, the bionic arm is what separates Bionic Commando from other games. With it, you can swing between buildings, grapple onto ledges and zip up, walk walls, pull apart the landscape, throw heavy objects, attack enemies, and more.
Giant, Sweeping World to Explore
As you swing around with your bionic arm, you'll be subjected to beautifully detailed scenery that ranges from Ascension City and its bridges and skyscrapers, to outdoor environments like canyons. By mastering different swinging techniques, players will be able to reach different areas and target enemies while mid-swing or even hanging upside down. If you misjudge your swing by even a little bit, you might find yourself plunging to your doom.
Swinging Multiplayer Fun for up to Ten Players
Bionic Commando allows up to 10 players at a time to get in on the swinging fun, finding new ways and techniques with the bionic arm to dispatch your friends and enemies. Maps are designed with the swing and gun game mechanic in mind, rewarding players who are adept at simultaneously swinging and aiming.
Bionic Commando is an updated and beautiful take on the classic, bringing the core elements of the 8-bit original into a beautiful, 3D world. Fans of the classic and newcomers alike will delight at the unique game play options that the bionic arm afford.

Let me start by saying I love old school games. I've owned my nes for twenty plus years and I enjoyed the original Bionic commando and thought the remake by Grin was an awesome. I bought this game relatively cheap and at first I really hated it. The swinging was awkward and frusterating but I kept on playing and before I knew it I was swinging around like a pro.
The main problem here is that the learning curve is really steep and I would miss a swing and fall to my death. I want to ... Read More

This game was mediocre at best. It provided a few days of fun, but nothing more than that. Once you get used to the physics of the bionic arm, the game starts to become enjoyable. Although the game is an "open world", there are many radiation "barriers" which won't allow you to go where you choose, making the game very linear. Also, the range of the bionic arm is not very far and you may find your self missing your desired target to grapple on to, resulting most of the time in death (especially near ... Read More

You have to stand up and Take Notice and give Capcom some credit
for a Unique Re-Launching of A Somewhat Forgotten Classic
The Original Bionic Commando was Ahead of its time in the 8Bit Area
CAPCOM & GRIN did a ***** Job on this title
It's Fun it seem to me now more Game aren't made to be fun
More like going through the motions
The Low Price alone should make any XBox360 Owner jump on it
Stick with it for a hour and master the ... Read More

What a waste of a legendary character, the game is mediocre at best. It has its moments but every level is pretty much the same. This is probably the dumbest ending to a story line since the Sopranos. If you must buy this is defiantly a $10.00 game.

This game could have been one of the best of the year, but falls short. It becomes repetitive and the difficulty is tougher than expected with help from walk-through or strategy guide (I prefer gamefaqs). Graphically this game is amazing, button layout is easy to get used to and the design and physics are also cool.
originality- 8/10 (points for being unique to other 360 games, but loses a tad for being a remake of a classic and not living up)
graphics- 9/10
