*If you enjoy this game, be sure to check out Shadow Complex also for XBL. Quite the opposite, really Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 pays homage to a time when things when things were a little bit simpler. – but the developers never claimed to reinvent the wheel. It’s not a perfect game – swinging and grappling can be a little frustrating at times, it has a mundane story, etc. I think that all the criticism is just a little unjust. This game has been getting quite a bit of flack from the video game press.
Pair up with a pal online or at home for some intense shoot’em up action. Multiplayer returns, and just like the first Rearmed game, is my favorite way to play. Sure there are a couple of little hiccups along the way, but c’mon.

Well you have, but it’s still loads of fun.Īdditional challenge maps are back from the previous game and help to add a little replay value once you have completed the campaign. You follow Rad through various levels (Super Mario Bros.), shoot the bad guys (Mega Man) and fight tons of bigger-than-life bosses (Contra). The gameplay will feel very familiar if you have ever played a 2D side-scroller from the 1980s or 90s. For the most part the story is fairly forgettable – but who cares, right? After the events of the previous Rearmed title, Nathan “Rad” Spencer (the Bionic Commando) is sent to some place to stop an evil dictator from doing something evil. In keeping with the Bionic Commando tradition, this game is not very story-driven.
