Tell you what: Let’s just pretend you all know that this is an updated version of the classic Bionic Commando, the latest salvo in Capcom’s continuing effort to reach out to the North American audience. Let’s just skip all of that and skip to what you want to hear: Let’s talk about swinging.
It’s the first thing we were introduced to in our time with the game, so it feels right to get it out of the way first. So how is it? Fun. Really, really fun. There’s a great sense of speed and it makes wandering through the desolate and dynamic Ascension City a real joy.
But that glowing praise comes with a caveat: It’s also not easy. In fact, we didn’t feel like we really “got it” until about 20 minutes in. Some of the difficulty is derived from the amount of control you have. You have to know what you’re swinging from, unlike in the Spider-Man series (the closest swinging competitor) where your webs will automatically find the nearest surface. No, you have to aim your arm. But once you get it, it’s really satisfying.
