yea I could understand someone jumpin into it first time would think the controls are bad, I think alot of the challenge is working with the goofy claw shooting controls haha, either that or my 360 control is boned  |

I spent a few hours playing coop tonight with a friend. It's totally badass. Just like the original game, but better in every regard. Art by Shinkiro! YES!  |

Did BC:R brick your xbox, or did it brick itself?

not sure to be honest, but it froze up when I was BC'ing, now it basicly freezes up within 30sec to a minute of booting, It seems im not alone though, theres forums filled with these sorts of issues, partytime.
Somehow I think a higher power is telling me to finish something....

Call the xbox support number you can find on their website. If you bought it on opening day and it HASN'T crashed yet... well that is is a christmas-goddamn-miracle cause every other person I know has gone through at least one.
Generally the failure is due to a component the skimped out on in the first few vers. of the hardware so the odds are they will take it for repair (having you remove your HD first) and not charge you anything for it. Though they totally fucked up on hardware side there, at least they have been good about fixing it, eventually.
Also, if for some reason they WON'T take it, there are some other options still available to you to fix it.

she displayed a glorious red ring today after 10min of braidage, just bam, 3 red rings, now nothing. Microsoft phone support were realy good about it though, gonna fix it free of charge, pay the shipping, etc, so all thumbs up there.

i had a bit of a co-op session with a friend today and my verdict is that this is a shitty game.
im all for retro remake, and let me state again that ive never played the original but WHY THE FUCK CANT I JUMP UP, DOWN OR SHOOT UP? what the fuck. i get it, you couldn't in the original so you shouldn't either. what im getting from this is that the original probably wasn't a very good game, and i didn't miss anything.
i can respect the purity, but i just dont think those limitations were any fun. i guess they really want you to make the most out of that arm, but it controls so horribly itself that it turns the whole thing into an exercise in frustration.
horrible controls.
and those top-don levels arent any fun at all either.

I have to disagree, my friend! Swinging around feels fucking great! Especially when you're swinging around with a friend.
Although I concede it's kind of weird that a "Bionic Commando" can't jump over a 3-foot-high cinderblock...

I agree, they should have added the ability to jump at least barrel-high, and maybe two or three barrels' width.
But my verdict still stands. Funny that one of two XBLA games stands as GOTY for me so far... it's either this or Braid that'll top the list, unless Spore really comes out this year.
Can't think of anything else I'm waiting for right now...

I honestly thought bionic commando was broken in a good way, sure the controls are frustrating sometimes, but when you finally nail the whole, modern day tarzan swinging from grapple to grapple over a giant spiked pit, it feels fucking awesome. I think its something that gets better further you get into it also, but valid points about the topdown sections, they are indeed, the ghey. |

Stick with it. I didn't play the original either but it really gets better with time and then it feels great to master the swinging.
