Classic side-scrolling gameplay is
reporting back for duty with Bionic
Commando Rearmed, a remake of the classic NES game, out now on Xbox LIVE®
Arcade, PlayStation® Network and
PC.
20 years after the 8-bit
classic was released, Bionic Commando Rearmed recreates the world of the
original with a complete "2.5D" visual revamp. Bionic Commando Rearmed preserves
the original's mix of swinging and shooting in an intense 2D side-scroller, all
to the tune of a brand-new soundtrack based on the classic 8-bit music from the
NES masterpiece,
But Rearmed is far more than just a
remake - it features all-new modes such as the 2-player co-op play, smarter
enemy AI, new bionic arm abilities, new weapons, bigger bosses and online
rankings. Faithfully sticking to the story of
the NES game, Bionic Commando Rearmed tells the story of Nathan "R.A.D." Spencer's
first mission, sent in to retrieve captured agent Super Joe from the hands of
the Imperials. Fans of the original story can expect to see all the characters
from the NES version, as well as the memorable moments that made the title so
popular with fans.
