Bionic commando is a series made by Capcom and Grin, the demo is now available on Xbox Live.

My first thoughts on the game werent very good, the gunplay was iffy, and the spiderman-esque swinging around was a really cheap way to run away.
But, after getting used to the controls, the game seemed better than Halo. (Not particularly hard but...) It seemed smooth, and the gunplay was okay once I learnt to zoom.

The demo comes with 1 map, and a not very good one at that. Its on a Multiple skyscrapers conviently placed stuck together. Its also too small, swinging around will cause you to run into a wall, or have to stop. The game has loads of capabilities, the space to swing around is a must.

The points system, though having no effect on the ending score whatsoever, is a simple one.
Kill enemies to start up a chain, kill them with style and you get more points or a times bonus.

E.G

Kill +2
Zipkick x4
Victim in air x2

Hopefully they put this to use.

Your Bionic arm is a helpful tool, you can swing, pull and kill with it. Pulling off quick movement, or simple dodging to stylish kills, or merely to get close and blast em' with a shotgun.

Now, the weapons.
They are overpowered, very overpowered. Luckily they have a 5 second respawn time.

Sniper - one hit kill.

Shotgun, one hit kill. (Close up)

Machine gun - Easy kill.

Grenade launcher, Damaging.

And your deafult pistol. Not overpowered, but can be if you can use it well.

The game as a whole should be interesting, I cant really cover much else.

P.S Those with BC - Rearmed will want this game on the same console/PC, you get a new character and a secret weapon.

Anyone else feel reminded of the ratchet and clank 3 online when playing this?
