Bionic Commando is an interesting concept that has held up well for the most part over the years. The graphics look good, the camera is well positioned, and the shooting aspects play really well. However the swinging mechanic doesn't work great. When your one whole thing that allows you to stand out is the worst polished aspect of your game that doesn't bode well for the overall product.

I played through this game in its entirety twice and I never felt like I mastered the swinging. It wasn't so frustrating that it made me quit the game. I played through it to platinum. Rather it felt more disappointing. The game felt well balanced and it was challenging rather than rage inducing and just straight up frustrsting. It's a unique game that will stick with me and I believe its a solid 7/10 despite it having one of the most cringy edgelord try hard main characters of all time.

This game is one of those where its greater than the sum of its parts. The game has a ton of issues and a general lack of polish, but it's so fun to me that I don't care. It keeps to the spirit of the franchise. It's an odd game with a really stupid story with engaging mechanics that keep the replay high. It has amazing music. There's some setpieces in this game that are surprisingly great. It achieves an over the top action movie feel without removing control from the player. I love the pacing of it, it really just keeps moving as one continuous experience. A lot of people complain about the narrative, but it rarely rears its head, so I can't say it's a huge issue for me. I'd recommend getting this on PC through a sale if you like action games.

Mmmph. That's kinda how I feel about this game. I recommend it only if you really like the genre. Give it the ol' two hour try and see if you really like it but otherwise its kinda buggy in all the worst spots, causing four BS deaths in my hour of play. The story is quite bad, but its teetering on so bad its good. For reference, both the main characters at the start have the gruffest voice possible, and the wilhelm scream is used in the opening cutscene. It's this weird blend of trying to take itself seriously but also dashing all of that randomly.

The moment to moment gameplay is ok, and uses some weird choices that I think could have done it some good, like no reloading and minimal ADS required. But when you put it all together it's just not quite worth it, and the main swinging gimmick is done way better elsewhere. Try CRUMBLE if you like that sort of thing, its a great game.

God this game is just dope as hell. A hero marginalized by authorities for being a threat to nazis? Cool swinging mechanics with a learning curve? A set of enemies that actually demand swift movement and mindful use of your tools? Despite all scuffed things about it, I keep returning to this reboot every few years for another replay. No other game has quite got bare fundamentals of an acrobatic action game so right, and I like it even better every time around.

Please Capcom give Spencer another chance. Make him non-stop quip like in a Marvel movie or give him a little bionic son to make journalists like it this time around. I'll take my monkey's paw to bring good swinging back in video games.

Nunca eu sequer tinha ouvido falar na existência de Bionic Commando até o protagonista do mesmo ter sido apresentado no Marvel vs. Capcom 3, e pelo que eu pesquisei e me interessei a respeito, esse jogo nada mais é do que uma recriação dessa franquia de jogos que existem desde o Nintendinho adotando agora um novo molde narrativo, uma nova identidade e um novo protagonista. E realmente é evidente o porquê de eu nunca ter ouvido falar a respeito desse jogo já que sua trama é pra lá de genérica e esquecível ao ponto de tudo ser previsível demais e ter personagens que ou não servem para quase nada no roteiro (como no caso da Mag) ou não foram explorados do jeito que deveriam ter sido (como no caso do "Sniper Misterioso" ou da própria Emily que é extremamente importante para o arco do protagonista).

Agora, ainda que o jogo tenha seus problemas de roteiro (que acredite em mim não são poucos) e sempre traga aquela velha sensação de ser mais uma cópia de vários títulos como, por exemplo, um Metal Gear ou um Just Cause da vida, a sua gameplay ainda que demore no começo para se acostumar é o que certamente te fará jogá-lo até o fim sendo extremamente divertido balançar por aí ou atacar os seus inimigos com o braço biônico do Spencer e ter um ritmo de jogo que acaba na hora certa e no tempo certo onde apenas uma hora a mais e eu certamente teria me cansado de jogá-lo, por isso e também pelo preço que eu o peguei que foi em torno de cinco reais eu não vejo problema em recomendá-lo...
