Bionic Comando Rearmed

Bionic Commando was one of the best action games for the NES. Its simple gameplay, cool action and friendly graphics made us spent countless days of fun playing it.

Since its original release in 1988, Capcom never worked on a sequel for this great game, with the exception of the Gameboy port in 1992 and Gameboy Color's Elite Forces in 1999. Today, we are expecting anxiously to play not a port, but the full remake of this game, Bionic Commando Rearmed that comes out next August 13th for the Xbox 360, PS3 and later on the PC.


Bionic Commando Rearmed comes with cool over the top 2D graphics and its simple addictive gameplay from the original, combining it with great single player modes, such as The Challenge Room and a Database, and the traditional multiplayer modes like Deathmatch and Last Man Standing, all of which will make you stay up for hours. Oh, I forgot, the best part is, it's only $10.

The Challenge Room is basically a time race mode in which you used your grappling hook to go from start to finish on a level. There is also a Stamina mode on the challenge room levels where the floors are filled with spikes and your challenge is to go from start to finish without dropping to the floor. Level times will be uploaded to a worldwide scoreboard where you can check your world ranking and the world-record times. The Database option has lists and descriptions of items, characters, weapons, and power-up items that are unlockable or found on other Capcom games.

The multiplayer modes are available in Free for All and Team Battle and they are for up to 4 players, playing to who has more kills on a Deathmatch, or who is the only survivor on Last Man Standing and there’s a cool Don’t Touch the Floor mode, where you battle with your opponents to drop them out of their grappling hooks.

I leave you with the trailer.
