Review: Bionic Commando Rearmed Swings to New Heights
backtoreality says,
This is a remake of the earlier classic Bionic Commando. It will available via Xbox Live or the Playstation Network for $10 and $15 for a PC.
The reviewer says this is a must have game for $10 and it is supposed to be a super fun action game.
Article excerpt from wired.com —
" Bionic Commando Rearmed is more than just a shiny new version of the '80s action game. It's a proper remake that successfully overhauls the series for the current generation of gamers.
Fans of the original were excited at the prospect of a new take on the 8-bit game, whose hero can't jump but can swing back and forth on and attack...

It's actually been out for a few weeks (at least on PSN/Live). From what I've heard, it's quite good, but if you've got the choice, the PSN version is the way to go. In this case, the problem is that the game itself is quite hard, and requires really precise timing, but the 360's D-pad isn't up to the job.
While I hate - hate - the Dual Shock's segmented D-pad, the 360's D-pad is almost impossible to use. The surface is much, much better but it often registers a left or right when I want to press up or down. Apparently, there's a limited edition controller in Europe that fixes this problem, but it hasn't made its way into their standard controllers yet.
Regardless of the control issues, though, Rearmed is supposed to be worth every penny.

I really liked it, fantastic remake and totally worth the $10. It's so good that I'm actually excited about what Grin can pull off on the 3D Bionic Commando coming out. I wasn't looking forward to it before playing and finishing Rearmed.
The music is awesome too!
For the record I played it on the 360. The D-pad did give me issues, and on the recommendation from someone else I switched to the analog stick. Once I got used to the switch I had no issues.
