Bionic Commando Rearmed!

[RichieM]

Whoop my first Live Arcade game [that I paid for]

First impressions; fan-blooming-tastic.
TBH Area01 surprised me, didn't expect (and havent seen on the demo, vids etc) a top-down area, I love it

I'm gonna play it a bit more (so not much posting from me today) and then maybe some online multiplayer action

 

[RichieM]

ah I just worked out (after starting a new game) that the top-down bit is only triggerd if you mess about on the selection map, basically when it says you have encounterd an enemy. Coolio

 

[RichieM]

I thought it was pretty good so far, just finished the first level. took me a while to work out you had to drag the barrels with your robo arm.

I couldn't work out how to get the ones on the top platform I got upto the platform but couldn't grab the barrels.
So on 2nd try, i just used one barrel from the first platform, got really close to him and shot the crude out of him to kill him

[tip]In Area 00 there is a fire power upgrade [/tip]

Can't find the Secrets in Area 01 though

For anyone else struggling on Area 02 The Sewer here's a video http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/objec...mmando-2d/videos/bc_rearmed_sewer_060208.html
For the life of me I couldn't work out what to do with The Fabricator
I also found some switches in the walls (got a database entry when I first hit one) you can pull it out of the wall and it goes back in slowly, christ knows what they are for

Oh and for everyone not sure about this, download the demo! or t least whatch a video review http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/objec...earmed/videos/bcrearmed_vidreview_080808.html

Nice looking game, but cant get on with the controls at all. Just feels like hard work doing even basic stuff.

The more you play it the easier/more natural the controls become, it makes more sense after doing the Advanced Training too

 

[RichieM]

If an Arcade game doesn't get me hooked straight away I leave it, I only play them in 5-10 minute bursts anyway.

I'm usualy the same, but this is the first Arcade game I've bought as I think it plays like a "full" game. I found myself playing it for hours yesterday

Any idea when the release date is for the ps3 version of this? looks like one i'd play!

Today is the official PS3 launch unfortunately it's been delayed, other than that I'm not sure.

 

[RichieM]

Guess I'll have to make a thread for this soon. Maybe closer to launch, I've got too many threads going just now.

I made one a while ago, but most ignored me Maybe because I didnt put Official nor **** in the title lol.
As you can probably tell, I've been watching both of the games closely for months and really looking forward to it

 

[RichieM]

so the ps3 has an extra room?
mega

Theres 56 Challenge rooms on the 360, more than enough for anyone considering they are rock hard don't see many people completing all of them, let alone an extra one on the PS3.

The extra content avaible for Bionic Commando is the Original costum and the Beta gun (whatever that is) - which can be unlocked in Rearmed and used in the full retail when its out.

[edit]oh and for anyone that doesn't know what the challenge rooms are heres a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7NB2Jm4QZ0 they are basically timed puzzle rooms where you have to get from the start to the finish, if you havent mastered the arm = FAIL [/edit]
