Classic Bionic Commando Reboot
An old gaming favourite known as Bionic Commando is set to make a blockbusting return to screens this year. In the original action platformer, the player utilized the titular character's impressive stretching abilities through his bionic arm, leading to a gameplay reminiscent of certain early Spider-man games, as you swing through the cities. However, Bionic Commando also utilized a host of heavy artillery with which to dispatch your foes.
Now Nathan Spencer (Bionic Commando) ready to await his execution, obviously having been framed for a crime he didn't commit, but not before the city has been completely ravaged by a terrorist attack. It's upto you to foil this deadly occurance using your trusty bionic arm and just a bit of righteous fury. When Nathan encounters enemies, he has many abilities at his disposal with which to eliminate such threats. The game's physics are advanced enough that you can tug a chunk of building down on top of an enemy, or throw large boulders at them, sometimes even simply punching at large boulders in a way that sends them flying the direction of your enemies. For those who prefer a more conventional shoot out, the futuristic setting of this game offers a whole host of impressive weaponry to use.
Multiplay has been added, along with a number of little quirks which work extremely well in-game, such as characters shooting over their shoulders when pursued, the ability to fire at people in midair as they are swinging around, and even use sniper rifles to take people out from a distance. These fun little additions are set to distinguish this title from the crowd.
Bionic Commando is slated for release summer of 2009, not a second too soon for fans of futuristic cyborg-centric platforming!
