What made this game unique from other of its kind is the fact that it is a jumping game with no jump on it. To be more accurate it is a swinging game where gamers swing from platform to platform and avoid falling down. For first timers this can prove to be really difficult especially for those who are accustomed to using a jump button. With the use of the character's bionic arm, gamers must learn all available swinging techniques if ever they want to be able to explore all possible nook and crannies in the game.

The character of the latest Bionic Commando for sale in particular is Nathan "Radd" Spencer, who is a super soldier that comes equipped with a bionic arm. This bionic arm is the main reason for the uniqueness of this platform game. The player has to be able to fully utilize it in order to be able to conquer all levels of the game. Unlike previous games, Spencer can now shoot while swinging in midair or climbing a building. Also, it can be used for attacking and lifting heavy objects around such as cars and boulders. At the same time it is also used for defensive powers like blocking against bullets.

Another notable and major improvement for the game is the addition of an offline multiplayer coop mode. Gamers can now swing their way to victory in groups which can prove to be really fun and enjoyable. However, they must be contented with sharing only one TV screen which can be annoying especially if you are in a very critical stage and the screen suddenly split in half. This usually occurs the moment the players get separated from each other. This is due to the fact that it this mode is only available offline. This is something that is admitted by the developers as it is said to be overlooked until only it's already late. Still, it's a good addition to an already enjoyable game because aside from the coop mode, players can also fight against each other in three melee modes which include Deathmatch; Last Man Standing and Don't Touch the Floor. It is fun but nearly as enjoyable as the campaign mode.

With all these in mind, a Bionic Commando sale will certainly be on hand upon its release and this game will certainly swing its way back to the lists of old - time favorites as well as new ones.
