Bionic Commando Demo Impressions

Capcom released the Bionic Commando demo a couple days ago and I recently hopped in and played a couple rounds. For starters, the match-making is horrendous. It tried multiple times to match me up with people but ultimately failed and booted me from the room. After almost five long minutes of staring at the lobby room, I finally connected to a server and started playing for the first time. The demo is multiplayer only which means we still have to wait before we can hop into the actual game itself

Graphically, the game doesn’t impress but it doesn’t necessarily look bad either; its passable by all accounts. Fans following this game is left wondering how the game is going to control until now. Let me just say it will take a while before you can get the hang of it, much like the original Bionic Commando during the 8-bit days. The game seems to handle well; while I still haven’t grasped the controls, I spotted many people zipping and swinging all over the place. The weapons seemed to handle well but didn’t offer anything exciting; the main weapon did seem a bit weak though.

Overall, the multiplayer seemed fun and could probably be enjoyable to many people. I do hope though the actual game has a more overall polish to it.
