Bionic Commando Fans...has anyone played the new Bionic Commando Rearmed?

Longtime fan of the series, I have the NES game and the GBA MegaMix with it too. Have any fans played it (Rearmed), and what do you think of the gameplay?

Graphics/Storyline comments welcome too.

    I have both Bionic Commando Rearmed and the brand new Bionic Commando.

    I personally like them both.

    BCR is a perfect update to the classic, and it is worth the money. It is a perfect example that should be followed for any other company updated calssic games. The graphics are fantastic (The game runs off the same engine used in the new Bionic Commando), and once you start playing, it will feel like you're playing the original again. The gameplay is pretty much the same, with the following changes:

    A health bar replaces the previous system, meaning players collect health items from enemies to restore health, as opposed to gaining more hit points.

    Players can now shoot their arm to grab barrels and throw them at enemies. The arm can also be enhanced to grab enemies and use them as human shields. The bionic arm can also be used to deflect most projectiles.

    Weapons can now be changed during gameplay, with each weapon having stronger or weaker impact depending on the enemy. (For example, the default Revolver is effective against human enemies, but weaker against robots.)

    Boss battles have been remade from scratch. The final boss of the original game is now a fully fledged level.

    A cooperative mode is featured, with the enemy and boss AI changing to accommodate the extra player.

    Hacking into the enemy network now involves navigating a three-dimensional puzzle to hack into the enemy's communications. Extra points are awarded upon completion if the player's health bar is full, otherwise a health bonus is awarded.

    The game also features challenge rooms which involves using the bionic arm to get from start to finish in the fastest time possible.

    Numerous competitive multiplayer modes are added, including 'Don't Touch the Floor" in which only hitting the very bottom of the level kills the player, and weapons only knock the player back.

    Force feedback has been implemented when using the bionic arm, firing weapons, and other events

    It is the perfect recreation of a classic.

    You should also look into it's next gen sequel, the new Bionic Commando. Don't believe the reviews, the game is good. Critics are just too harsh. Plus if you have both BC:R and the new BC, you'll unlock three special items: one of which is the classic Nathan Spencer outfit (He'll look like he does in BC: R), which you'll unlock right away as opposed to finishing Bionic Commando to unlock it.
