Opening Snide Remarks: I bought this game the day it came out but never
reviewed it, and I dont know why. Now that I see everyone else likes it, I
might as well add my opinion on the game in case someone is not convinced.

*****************************************************************************

Gameplay: I had never played the original bionic commando, but this game
sounded cool. When I started to play it, I said "How do you jump?" Then i 
realized THERE IS NO JUMP. But, after learning how to use the bionic arm,
you will realize that jumping is not needed. The bionic arm is responsive,
and works perfect. It is sort of like the grappling hook in quake 3. The
overall gameplay was great. You can play as a guy or girl commando (they
each have 1 weapon only they can use.)The only problem was a few bosses that
were tooooooo easy. Level designs are great, and some of the levels take a
lot of skill with the bionic arm. There is also 3 different ways to play
this game. You can either play sidescrolling, overhead, or 1st person
snipe mode. They all are great, and add to the gameplay experience. Some of
the levels are very hard which is good since the bosses are usually easy.

Liked: Bionic arm control, level design.

Hated: A couple bosses were way too easy.

*****************************************************************************

Graphics: These graphics kick as much ass as Mario Golf's. There are great
color schemes, textures for everything, and very nice animation. When the 
girl runs, you can see her hair wave back and forth like in Soul Calibur.
These are some of the best graphics on GBC so far.

Liked: EVERYTHING

Hated: Nothing

*****************************************************************************

Sound: The games sound was pretty good. Guns had good sounds, and so did the
bionic arm hitting a wall. The game also had voices! They werent the best,
but you could tell what they were saying. Its nice that voice was actually
put into the game.

Liked: Everything

Hated: Nothing

*****************************************************************************

Music: When I play a game, it has to have good music. This game definetly
does. Some of the music even reminded me of Mega Man which is the best video
game music there is.

Liked: Everything

Hated: Nothing

*****************************************************************************

Play Control: It will take about 30 minutes to get used to the bionic arm,
and all the ways you can swing with it. But after that, the game has perfect
control.

Liked: everything

Hated: Nothing

*****************************************************************************

Improve: The only thing that could be improved was HARDER BOSSES

This game is for anyone who likes, CONTRA, MARIO, GOEMON, ORIGINAL BIONIC
COMMANDO, DUKE NUKEM, METROID OR JUST GAMES IN GENERAL!!!

By the way...soon I will be reviewing either Rayman, Bomberman Quest, 
Power Quest and great greed! THANK GOD FOR EBAY.
