Looks interesting.



Around the Network

Hrmm, still not too sure about this, but it definitely looks like a game that I would be using my mouse for instead of my 360 controller for on PC. This looks like a pain with analogs.

Edit, and I'd till really like a Wii version.  I'll get it for PC if it's good, but I would much rather be swinging with motion controls.  



Talk about a crap shoot... This game has the potential to absolutely rock or absolutely suck.

Either way, I'm interested. I've been waiting for a new Bionic Commando game for almost 20 years.

Yeah, pretty much my thoughts.  I mean I can't right it off completely, but it clearly could be awful or good.  I'm definitely worried about the controls as of right now though.

Yes, the controls are a little worrying. I loathe "auto-aim" pointers like the one used in the demo video. I don't know how to describe it but I'm talking about the reticles that move dependent on the surface area. So if you move the reticle to a building, it's up close. Move it off the building and it disappears.

The Darkness is the most recent game I have played that used this element and while the rest of the game is good, I absolutely hate that system of aiming. I think Jedi Knight 2 also used that system (one of the Jedi Knight games did) and I put down the game after three levels because of how much I thought it sucked.

Which is saying a lot because I'll play almost anything with the Star Wars name on it.
