Bionic Commando: Elite Forces

[NeoZeedeater]

I never liked the old Bionic Commando games as much as most gamers did but NST's GBC sequel definitely clicked with me. It's a smoother, better playing Bionic Commando and one of the best portable games of the last few years.

It feels like a classic NES game except with much better animation and voices. The only downside is that it's very hard to see. I'm waiting for the new GBA-TV adapter to come out before beating it.

Fans?

I feel the complete opposite. I'm a diehard fan of the NES adventure, but the 2000 NST sequel left me cold. The American-style art is inferior, the level design boring, and the audio unremarkable. That's in stark contrast to the NES title, which excelled in all of these categories and more.

Same goes for the NST Crystalis rap... err, remake.

Put many hours into the BC C64 port, even though it wasn't that great.

The Ballad of Sleeveboy and Bionic Commando: Elite Forces

Re: BenT's avatar: They're both from the same movie, JM.

But I agree the previous one was classier.

Yeah, the original BC was better, hell, any game where you watch a pixelated, animated face of Hitler explode at the end is ok with me



But the GBC version was also pretty good, the save feature is a Godsend.

Hey:

Sleeve, please elaborate on what Umihara Kawase is.

It was impressive for a GBC game. I remember it having voice samples, and people making a big deal out of that. It sounded like crap, obviously.

What I thought was really cool were the sniper portions. I don't know if they were in the original or not, but that was a cool idea.

Oh, you meant "rap" as part of a word...

What is this, a popularity contest? I got sick of the old one. Does my avatar make you think differently of me?

I'm actually curious to know. Personally, I barely notice them.
