Bionic Commando Demo Impressions
I got a chance to check out the Bionic Commando multiplayer demo yesterday and I found it really disappointing. First, there is no tutorial of any kind which is really needed. The bionic arm controls are very unique to Bionic Command and even after playing for 30 minutes I still was not sure how to properly swing and climb with it. I think a tutorial or single player demo would have helped with this. The demo was also disappointing because it is for a single multiplayer map with 8 players in a free for all death match. So, no playing with your friends and they don’t even tell you what all game types the full game will have. Graphically the multiplayer does not look nearly as good as what the trailer shows for the single player game play. Also, the map design is really generic and unimpressive. It is just a could tall towers and a railing so you can swing around on (assuming you can figure out how to do that) on top of a building. The weapons were all generic as well…pistol, machine gun, sniper, shotgun, and grenade launcher. The one thing that I found pretty fun was that when you are in the air you can hit the Y button to drop on someone and kill them. Since you are suppose to be swinging around this could be a lot of fun to get kills by dropping on your enemies…assuming that I can ever figure out how to swing around effectively.
