August 13, 2008 - If you enjoy a well-crafted action game, you'd be remiss in skipping Rearmed -- even if you couldn't care less about NES games.

August 15, 2008 - Bionic Commando: Rearmed is terrific in almost every way, revitalizing a classic but long-dormant game in an exciting way that stands on its own, but also serves as a potent reminder that there's a new retail sequel on the horizon that'll bring all this crazy swinging to 3D environments.

August 14, 2008 - If you're short on patience or have a nervous disorder, then you should approach Rearmed with caution. If, however, you love the genre and harbor fond memories of the original, then this game will seem like a gift from the Eighties God of Shooty Bang-Bang.

August 13, 2008 - Far from perfect, Bionic Commando Rearmed is still a much more complete and robust package than either 1942 Joint Strike or Commando 3 and another impressive addition to Capcom's download library.

August 18, 2008 - Bionic Commando Rearmed is a first-rate downloadable title, and if you don't mind 2D platforming gameplay with a bit of old school challenge, this is one to check out.

August 13, 2008 - Despite its difficulty, Bionic Commando Rearmed is a terrific platform game. The presentation is great, the gameplay is fun and the extras more than validate the cheap $10 price tag.

August 15, 2008 - Anyone eager to set aside 20 years of design evolution will find a game that still retains the same clever levels and novel swinging mechanics that made the original's charm endure through four console generations.

August 13, 2008 - That bionic arm would be a jump button in any other platformer, and is what gives this its, well, hook. Still, we found it a little cumbersome to get the knack of before brushing up on the ancient art of pixel-perfect positioning.

August 29, 2008 - There are certainly some hangovers from the age the game was originally released in, but its stylized production values and challenging gameplay will get you hooked.
