The Xbox main structure is the online, if lose this the games, lose all.

I'm glad to get it, but I have a question.

Xbox Press said "Bionic Commando: Rearmed isn't available in Korea" (Source: gamerscoreblog.com/.../xblasmrglgabncbrdgeo.aspx ), but you say it is available in Korea.

Xbox Press tells wrong information about Availability for Capcom's XBLA Title twice so far(Truth is "Not available in Japan" in both case, but Xbox press said "Not available in Japan and Korea" for "Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3" but it is available in Korea, and "Available in All Xbox Live Regions" for "1942:Joint Strike" but it isn't available in Japan), what do you think?

Awesome game, but give me some multiplayer already, all the time Capcom spent on this and to have only local play is pathetic

Anon 51, your description alone of Braid was a lot more pretentious than the whole game itself will ever be.

For people having trouble with the diagonal arm controls.... YOU DON'T NEED TO HOLD ANY DIRECTION for this :P Neutral Position = Diagonal Arm by default.

I disagree with you wholeheartedly.

The text is pretentious. It feels extremely contrived to me. I have a mental picture of the designer working through his "prose" with a thesaurus to make sure it sounds smart enough.

Still a great game though. The text really has little to no impact on that.

It's really pathetic when people are so quick to label a game like Braid as "pretentious", just because the devs actually put some well-written prose and THOUGHT into the storyline and tried to bring it above the mindless twitch gameplay that is so prevalent on this console.

Why do people crap on the whole "no online multiplayer/co-op"? I mean, that wasn't even to be in there to begin with, the co-op and multiplayer was added after the engine and all was done, as an afterthought and bonus, and when they added the co-op and all, it was impossible for the engine to run online without having to redo the structure of it.

What happend to everyone complaining that split-screen co-op was going away? Really, get a friend, play some co-op in the couch, great stuff.

The game is still a very great game, even if it had no multiplayer or co-op. And a real real real bargain for 10 bucks. It's probably the most valuable downloadable game ever. So much content and love for such a small ammount of money. Don't be a cheap ass!

Sweet! This game rocks! Try the demo before you buy it... there are some cool jokes in the demo.

First, this game is a BARGAIN at $10 bones. Second, these are without question, barring Alien Hominid/Castle Crasher games, the BEST graphics I've seen on XBLA. I will say this, the game is hard, and the diagonal controls on the arm could be more responsive, but it's a great game.

If you want some old-school arcade challenge and fun, with modern graphics, this game is a no-brainer.

Buy it. Support games like this. It shows developers don't have to just code a 20 year old game and slap it on XBLA. This is the way to bring retro gaming to the modern consoles.

Tried the trial and didn't like it too much, still high hopes for Galaga Legions and CASTLE CRASHERS!!!!

Jumping is not the point in this game. But be warned - this game is challenging enough without it. Play the tutorials and get them down because everything you need is in there. The hacking game was a b**ch until I figured what the directional circles were for, then it clicked and I got it. I am glad I purchased this game. I am not the biggest BCR fan, but I do support developers who take the time to ask the community for their input. I hope Ben Judd and the folks who put the effort in get what they need from it. I also noticed the "waver line" too in the intro. This thing is really pushing code, isn't it? And for being 200+ megs, it didn't really get too bloated. And the achievements? HAH! Good luck with those. I might get TWO for all the time I will spend on this one. A lot of them are not easy. What is it with me getting the games that are tough as nails in that regard? Pinball FX, 1942, now BCR; I am a glutton for tough games of late. The Geometry Wars 2 achievements were cake compared to those games. Next up - Galaga Legions. Thanks to Target, I still have almost a full card still on the GT, and I can already snag a couple of more before Saturday. If only my 360 was not going out for repair soon I would really be giddy. But at least my 360 is still under warranty. Oh yeah, I went back to playing Assassin's Creed and Prey. It felt right, you know? XBox 360 - Now to only survive real life like I do Geometry Wars 2 at this time...

Have to say the game looks great, unfortunately i'm more than a bit let down w/ the rest of the game(VERY sluggish controler response being the worst of the disappointments). BC:R needed more time in the oven and unfortunately didn't get it.If the new 3d game's control system is anything like BC:R's then it'll no doubt BOMB.

omission of online co-op is unforgivable... especially after reading the game description in the new arrivals section...

"The remake of the legendary Bionic Commando - one of the absolute best games in the history of sidescrollers! Put an end to Generalissimo Kilt's plan to take over the world with the help of your trusty bionic arm! With unrivaled graphics, unique gameplay, coop and multiplayer modes and Leaderboard-ranked short obstacle courses, this is a must have for any LIVE gamer."

Mislead the consumer much?

Why would you build a game from the ground up and leave out the most important feature...

First Soul Caliber with no online vs. mode, and now this... I hope this isn't a new trend for xbl arcade games...
