I have been waiting for this ever since I heard of it. Being a fan of the old school, I knew this game would be fun, and it is, for the most part. Timing is everything with the bionic arm. It can get frustrating in some parts of the game. If you don't have time to think about your next move and you have to pull off a split second reaction because you are falling or something like that, the controls make that kind of move hard to do. But with practice it should get easier. They have many challenge rooms to get you used to the bionic arm. Don't need your gun for these types of rooms, just your bionic arm and some patience. The game has a very cool look to it and the sounds are good to. The music ic somewhat annoying on some of the stages, but it is a throw back to the original game from '88. It has brought back some memories for me that's for sure. Well worth the price of admission at 800 Microsoft points.
