Notes:

I stumbled across BCR being released today only yesterday, much to my glee (as I hate waiting on games being released, hence I try not to pay attention to release dates).. I played the original Bionic Commando back in the old amstrad/c64 days.. nothing hardcore (lol) but i've fond memories, so I was eager to see how good a remake would be and for 15 bucks (10 on XBL, bleh?) I was sold..

It's a shame they chose direct2drive over steam.. i've no idea why, as the achivements could have been easily (and usefully) implemented on steam. As I mention at the beginning video, i'm not a fan of anything involving fileplanet's piss poor download speeds (i'd hazard a guess it's fine for anyone in America, but it outright blows for everyone else). Luckily, the games only 250 meg so it wasn't too painful only getting about 1/15th of my max speed through direct2drive.

Sort it out, Fileplanet.

Anyway, this was recorded about 2 hours after the PC release, and the set finishes after clearing half of the map screen (which no doubt isn't exactly half of the games overall duration, but it seemed a fitting point to finish).

Impressions so far? Pretty fuckin sweet.. the core gameplay was always good, and all the additions they've made are just that.. additions. Anything added enhances the game, as opposed to changing it wildly, making it both a loyal and fresh remake that looks as good as you could ask for in a platformer.

Expect this completed before the weeks out.

Enjoy!
