The latter half of the game is especially unforgiving, although ironically, the end-level bosses aren't nearly as bad as the path you took to get to them. Precision platforming is required for almost everything, and failure often leads to death. OXM (70/100): " Rearmed quickly wears out its welcome and devolves into a series of frustrations.Far from perfect, Bionic Commando Rearmed is still a much more complete and robust package than either 1942 Joint Strike or Commando 3 and another impressive addition to Capcom's download library." EuroGamer (80/100): "Between the multiplayer modes and the Challenge Rooms, there's more than enough innovation to make up for the minor irritations of the retro controls.Bosses have attack patterns, health pick-ups have to be earned and each level has been designed around blind leaps of faith and tiny margins of error." OXM UK (80/100): " is unapologetically old-skool, from the inability to jump right through to the spiked pits that bounce you back a few feet minus a huge chunk of your health.From top to bottom, Bionic Commando Rearmed is an incredible game that's well worth owning." The remastered soundtrack is fantastic as well. And, of course, the visuals are brilliant. The new bosses add a more interesting challenge and the final level is one for the ages. IGN (94/100): "The best elements of the original are back, but have been upgraded to be better than before.That's a deal breaker for a lot of us right there.) (A warning for many of you: Despite being on Xbox LIVE, Bionic Commando Rearmed's cooperative and multiplayer modes are both offline-only leading some of us here at Joystiq to dub it Moronic Commando or Bionic Command'oh - take your pick. The reviews are swinging in about the XBLA nip/tuck version of the classic '80s platformer and it appears - for those who can put up with the unrelenting difficulty - all systems are go: The remake is competent and won't give us the desire to turn back time* and play the original again. Much like Cher, Bionic Commando Rearmed has taken something old and freshened it up with the help of modern technology - but much of the same ol' game is still there, caked under the cosmetic changes.
