Bionic Commando Rearmed sets a new benchmark for downloadable console games...From top to bottom, Bionic Commando Rearmed is an incredible game that's well worth owning.
80
It has a solid, unrelenting challenge that will remind veteran gamers of years gone by when games made no apologies for being so stupidly, frustratingly, agonisingly tough.

Between the multiplayer modes and the Challenge Rooms, there's more than enough innovation to make up for the minor irritations of the retro controls.

A side-scrolling 2d platformer/shooter Bionic Commando Rearmed is a great update to a series that made its debut in the late 80's with the bionic arm, which has a whole host of uses such as traversing large gaps or grabbing enemies, really helping the game to stand out from other titles in the genre. As an added bonus the entire game can even be played in a well implemented local co-op mode. Aside from a final level that is too long to not have any checkpoints (We gave up after dying on the final bonus for a 2nd time and being forced to play through the entire level again) its hard to really have many complaints about Rearmed and at about £10 it offers great value for money.

I really really like this game. It's attractive, it's unortadox and it has really good music. The multiplayer is not online, and that is the only thing I am missing. I would have liked to play the very crazy tempo mp game over the net.

One of the best titles on XBLA, sporting huge production values, plenty of laugh out loud moments and some of the tightest most enjoyable levels of any game out there today.

Don't be stingy with those MS points; Rearmed is more than worth the tiny hole it'll burn in your bank account.

There is no doubt that Bionic Commando Rearmed is the best title out on XBLA to date.

Bionic Commando is not as amazing as the recently released Braid, but it is up there as one of the best Xbox LIVE Arcade titles available.

Bionic Commando Rearmed is a first-rate downloadable title, and if you don't mind 2D platforming gameplay with a bit of old school challenge, this is one to check out.

They even managed to spice things up by re-tooling boss fights, puzzles, and later sections in the game to sit more comfortably with the way gaming has evolved.

The retroest modern game you'll play and not nearly as updated as it could be. [Oct 2008, p.101]
