I gave this a spin out of curiosity and wasn’t expecting to enjoy it much (didn’t really seem like it would be my cup of tea), but I found myself hooked once I got the hang of the swinging mechanics. Fun game.

I enjoyed Bionic Commando, but personally it was too frustrating and punishing for its own good. A few too many ‘insta-deaths’ and simple bad design choices for my liking. Felt a bit like a lost opportunity, or they needed more focus testing.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it though!

I personally would have scored it in the 7 range, but that’s just me. 9.5 seems like game of the year material. That’s higher than even Fable 2 and RE5!

It does seem to have polarised many reviewers.

whilst i agree, a was a little overzealous in rating it, i stick by my score, i absolutely loved this game, and recommend it highly to anyone who wants a good game to play

9.5, wow that’s pretty good score for this game…

I’d have given it a 7ish or so.. Environments are destructible like Red Faction and such..

Only certain cars road signs and rocks are usable as weapons.

I’ve completed most challenges in my short playthrough of the game already ive invested about 8 hours into i think…

Also i believe that this game is after the event of Bionic Commando: Re-Armed that was released for the XBLA a while back…

The main bad guy you killed in that game is why you were sent to prison and other stuff as well.
