Yeah, so I choked pretty bad in this video. The NESBionic Commandodifficulty seems to be back for this sequel; one life, and I was dead after (I think) one hit, though it might have been two.
I did get some more time with the game after this, and the more I played it, the more the jump button grew on me. It feels a bit like cheating when you use it to just jump over a small pit, but when you have to jump,thenbionic-grapple an overhead object with precision timing to swing over ahugeravine; it’s awesome.
I’m not sure this game will be altogether better than the original, but it’s defintiely different, which goes a long way towards justifying its sequel status. It also looks a lot better than the firstRearmed, though sadly, I didn’t get to seeRad’s new mustache.
