    BEST GAME ON NES SINCE MARIO 3!!

    I remember this game fondly. I loved this gae soooo much, cuz you could grapple and swing your way through the levels. If you became real good you could figure out how to do the map part of the game and get the greatest ... Read Full Review

    Swinging and shooting

    I don’t even know where to start with Bionic Commando. If my memory serves me correct, there is something that has to do with a guy name Super Joe or something like that. This game is pretty sweet though because you ar... Read Full Review

    In 1988 Capcom unleashed a grappling hook in the form of Bionic Commando. Go-go Gadget Arm!

    To call Bionic Commando a port of an arcade game would only be partially correct. The arcade game was a pure, scrolling platformer. Conversely, the NES version was an open-ended platformer, with some RPG elements. The gr... Read Full Review

    Needs a rebirth on the next gen.

    There is something to be said about a guy that can shoot people and grapple objects at a great distance… Bionic commando is a 2D platformer where you run around and swing from steel beams to get to the next area. The p... Read Full Review

    Oh yes, get your grapple on!

    Bionic Commando introduced the gaming world to jumpless platforming. I definitely did not like that at first. By the end of the first level, however, I was hooked. As most agree, it is far better to swing than to walk... Read Full Review

    One of Capcom's finest NES releases. A real gem with unique gameplay.

    Aaah, the good old days. Back when Capcom on the box meant that I would like the game (most of the time). Bionic Commando is already more than 15 years old, but it still plays like recent handheld titles. You are a ... Read Full Review

    Classic run-n-shoot. Permanently in my collection!

    This is one of those old school games that's easy to beat but hard to get rid of. One of the first NES games I played, and I've had to buy it twice to replace my old one that turned up missing. A sequel to Commando, thi... Read Full Review

    Retarded. Completely, retarded.

    How bionic are you if you can't shoot up? Or down? Or any way but left or right for that matter. What about jumping? What happened to that? I beat it just yesterday, to remind me how bad it was. I wanted to do some resea... Read Full Review

    Bionic Commando, even though is a classic, still has the mechanics to give the gamer of today a challenge.

    Back in the day, you could find in your local arcade a classic called Bionic Commando. Following suit of games like Ninja Gaiden, Capcom released Bionic Commando on the NES. Just like the Arcade counterpart, Bionic Comma... Read Full Review
