Bionic Commando Rearmed is a remake of original Bionic Commando for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The visuals are updated to 2008's standards and it remains quite faithful to the gameplay and general mission structure of the 1989 game. It should be noted that the game remade is the North American release, so no Nazi symbols or references can be seen in the remake.
The story follows a secret agent who must rescue a woman named Mona from an evil organization known as RZA. The player controls this agent using a bionic arm, which allows them to swing across chasms and traverse the environment.
Gameplay involves navigating through levels, fighting enemies, and solving puzzles. The game features co-op mode, allowing two players to play through the entire game together, as well as various multiplayer modes. Boss battles have also been reworked to accommodate a second player, with some enemies becoming more vulnerable to certain weapons.
Additionally, challenge rooms have been added, where players must complete levels without touching the floor once using the bionic arm. These events are optional and time-based, but may provide hints for destroying bosses on the current level. The game also features hacking mini-games that involve solving 3D puzzles in a cyberspace environment.
Bionic Commando Rearmed was released on the Playstation 3 on 2009-05-22 .
