BIONIC COMMANDO: REARMED
===========================

So what makes a game good after it came out almost 10 years ago? Well, Bionic Commando did exactly what was right so let's see.
From the beginning, your not playing a "3d version" of what came out. Your playing what you think you should be - a side-scroller similar to the original.
But what it does from there is what makes this game one of my top games to buy on the PlayStation Store.

To begin, this game has all the great (and wierd) ideas that games back then had: weird nazi-like bad guys, even weirder story, you can't jump.
Now, the fact that you can't jump doesn't take away from the game, but adds to it. Suddenly this game becomes A LOT harder. Also, you get what feels like an arcade game that you would have played (except for better graphics, of course). This game also has some of the original (and maybe not so original) music found in the Bionic Commando games. Yes, the music is retro like.

The graphics do play in HD and what I like most of this game is when one person strolls of to one side of the screen: in ACTUALLY splits in 2 screens. Does it get any better than that?

Well, you can play this game co-op split screen OR co-op online. Not many games even have co-op, not to mention both.

So overall, I think this game is near perfect except for the fact that is VERY hard on co-op modes and although there are lives, they don't do anything. I'm pretty sure were past the life system now....even for a re-make of an arcade game.
