July 28, 2009 - Good - Bionic Commando is the reason why the PC needs a rental service: it's a fun title that won't take more than 12 hours to complete and offers no real incentive for a replay.
July 29, 2009 - Good - If you can look past the replayability issues that crop up due to the linear play and the tons of screen and texture tears, you'll find an enjoyable adventure that easily re-establishes the franchise for Capcom.
July 13, 2009 - Good - Bionic Commando will frustrate many gamers, but get past the initial swinging learning curve and you'll find a highly entertaining action game that tries to do something a bit different.
July 28, 2009 - Mediocre - The bionic arm is a great idea that leads to some enjoyable moments, but it's not powerful enough to shoulder the burden of a port as apathetic as this.
