You see this game, /v2/?
This game is an awful piece of trash that never truly deserved the title of Bionic Commando.
The story was awful with an equally awful twist at the end. The linearity of it made it the worst Bionic Commando as you couldn't pick where you wanted to go. Pointless kill challenges that got upgrades that rarely did anything for you in addition to limited ammo for the special guns.
But… with all its faults, I loved this game because it had one thing that no game has captured since.
The absolute essence of swinging.
Some people would look at me and go 'But Gentle-anon, what about Spiderman games'? I would look at them and say 'You're right, Spiderman games had great at swinging as well'
But spiderman never had multiplayer swinging. It never got Quake style maps that had you swinging so fast and aiming that you had the thrill of going as fast as f-zero with skill while shooting opponents doing the same out of the air. If you slowed down, you were dead. If you didn't know the maps, you were weapon starved and even armor. All you had was your grapple and your pistol, but if you were good, that's all you needed.
So to this shit game, it's shitty net-code and short life, Here's a toast, Bionic Commando 09'.
You had potential, but everything started saying no from the get-go.
Spiderman Quake… I love the sound of that everytime.
