Forum Overview :: Bionic Commando: Rearmed :: Final verdict.

[quote name="Creexuls, a monster >:3"]This is the first game that is actually worse with coop. You can't walk more than 5 steps away from the other player without reaching the edge of the screen and being unable to see in front of you, which is usually a pit or spikes or sewer lava that won't kill you instantly, but you can't escape from it unless they give you a nearby platform to hook onto which they usually don't. If you go an extra step (that is if you're able to, most of the time you'll be facing a wall but you can't even see it because its forcing you to the end of the screen) it forces a split screen that somehow makes things even harder to see. In order to do any swinging, both players have to be layered over each other and acting simultaneously, which is a challenge even for us. Most of the time even while swinging at the same time and acting in perfect unison and harmony, you will still miss the next shot because the screen still won't scroll properly to show you what is next. In split screen, you literally can't see in front of you. There are several dark rooms where neither player can tell who is who, and you will die over and over not because of the challenge of the game but only because the game doesn't allow you to see what is happening within the game. You can achieve pretty much the same effect by playing with your eyes closed. In single player, the game is thousands of times easier and is in fact not much of a challenge, especially without having a second player distract you by stealing your screen vision away from you like I did with Jso most of the time. He finished the game single player already, so when I played coop, I spent almost of my time dead while he soloed the rest of the game and I watched.[/quote]
