* Let's start with the most important thing - the story. In BC: Rearmed, you play as Nathan "Radd" Spencer (the guy with the bionic arm) who is on a mission to rescue FSA operative "Super Joe" Gibson. The story is pretty interesting for the most part, and delivers a few laughs now and then. The gameplay consists of many platforming elements, and can be quite difficult. You can swing with your bionic arm by pressing the B button. It can be difficult when you first try it out, but soon you will be swinging from place to place with ease, exterminating enemies and destroying the game's humongous bosses. You will solve the occasional 3-D puzzle, which requires you to push a ball through a small maze filled with teleporters into a goal. These puzzles are quite enjoyable. You do all this to an awesome soundtrack that will make you recall the good old days when you played the original Bionic Commando.
* Throughout the single player mode you will unlock Challenge Rooms, which are obstacle courses that require precision swinging and timing. There are 50 challenge rooms in all, and you definentely won't finish them quickly, giving BC: Rearmed a ton of replay value.
* There are multiplayer modes as well. You can either play co-op with a friend or against 3 other people on the same couch. There is no online multiplayer.
* There is no better way to spend Microsoft Points than to buy Bionic Commando Rearmed!
