Bionic Commando Rearmed 2

This is more of the same, plus new features such as death from above and jumping. Great looking game, and basically, if you liked BCR you'll like this.

This game is actually pretty fun. It adds a variety of challenge and a new jumping mechanic, which isn't as helpful as it seems, you can beat every level without ever jumping. Still, BC Rearmed 2 is definitely one of the better XBLA titles.

this was an instant buy for me and at first i was happy about the nice graphical style but once i started actually playing, major disappointment set in. i expected the basic gameplay to be exactly as in BCR1 but with jumping added on a formerly unused button. instead, EVERYTHING is different. and often unnecessarily so. because e.g. grabbing and throwing barrels works exactly like it did in BCR1 but the input you have to do on the controller is different. the way you swing is basically the same (with some added features) but the way you tell the game to let go is not the same. again, for no apparent reason. and probably most stupid: it is not possible to shoot the arm straight forward using the d-pad. you can only do that with the analog stick and by aiming between "forward" and "down-forward". very badly designed. they could've at least had the old control scheme as an option. not difficult to program, there are barely any options as it is anyway - so no reason not to include that. another drawback IMO is the fact that the record times for the various levels do not differentiate between the use of jumps and retro gameplay. as already said in the beginning - the graphical touchup is great. and some of the added features make the game feel nicer (e.g. not needing a shotgun to start swinging and being able to adjust the arm length while hanging) but with the broken controls that means nothing. unless there will be an update offering the option to have retro control scheme/mechanics, i refuse to play this.

De la daube scrollante éditée par Capcon le faiseur d'étrons, autant dire que ça ne fait pas rêver. Et en plus, il s'agit d'une suite de la première daube scrollante daubée qui nous ramène à d'autres temps de sinistre mémoire, ceux des pauvres jeux de merde à défilement horizontal en 256 couleurs. Voir ça de nos jours, ça file la gerbe direct. Et en plus, c'est d'une bêtise et d'un ennui qui ne laissent pas de littéralement sidérer avec des boss typiques des jeux japonais, complètement grotesques. Bref, c'est de l'arcade pourravenaze rabibochée à l'arrache pour tenir sur les consoles de notre époque. Répétitif à l'envi et jusqu'au vomi si affinités.
