    Fantastic game. The swinging mechanic and level design is top notch. I'm glad they gave it challenge. I would've died a little inside if it were automatic like Prince of Persia or Assassin's Creed.

    Why is everyone saying its going to help the PS3? Its multi platform, so unless the PS3 port is superior to the 360 one then I don't think it will.

    The graphics do look quite good, I wonder what game engine it is using?

    shivadee_basic: A good idea would be to not make premature assumptions - you haven't even played the game yet. Two showcase videos of two individual aspects of the game doesn't convey the general flow of the gameplay, so don't start assuming things are not "integrated well".

    the "gunplay" and "grapple" system are not integrated well. There is no reason for one when he is doing the other. A good idea would be to mesh them better. Im seeing mediocrity already, and im a huge fan of this series. I hope they do something else with this.

    I still would have liked to see the main character's name be Rad in this newer version. Whatever, thats insigificant because this game looks awsome and seems reasonably faithful so far. Forgive the corny joke, but I think this game is gonna be really "Rad"!...

    @Kniterait
    I rememebr playing the bionic commando on nes i think. Great game back in the day. This game shoulda came out years and years ago tho. I doubt its gonna end up really being very unique, and i doubt ill remember it as fondly as the nes version.

    Oh this doesn't just look like a spider-man ripoff, it IS COMPLETELY a spider-man ripoff, the way u swing, the way you toss opponents at your foes, even the freaking way how u fly in mid-air, then cast a wire at the ground to land faster. Its EXACTLY a copy paste. Spider-man had those Grab-Moves, BC has Grab-Moves, Spider-man had web-balls that acted as long range weapons... this just has plainly a gun. This is just so - SO wrong.

    In the wire mechanics gameply trailer...the way the bionic claw picks up concrete and other items looks so unrealistic..for items that are so heavy the physics makes it looks like arm is throwing a piece of concrete made of cork...its all wrong.

    spider-man with a gun who can throw concrete...alrighty then.
    wait, no, he's got more of a doc oc claw goin on. very well then.

    I loved this in the arcades, but the video didnt impress me one bit. Some games should stay 2D and not try and use 3D. To be honest the video looked like spiderman but with a new character and textures. Its a shame because i was looking forward to this, i hope the end product can offer something better than i have seen so far.
