I just bought Bionic Commando. Despite what the reviewers claim, it is a fine game. It would have made it to "great" if cheap death wasn't quite so abundant. Seriously- if you go off course into a radiation patch(which can be distressingly easy to do sometimes) or misjudge a swing and fall into water, you die in less than three seconds. Which can be especially annoying when you swing too high, as the radiation will likely kill you before gravity can save you. But beside that, once you pin down the swinging(which took me between an hour and 90 minutes) and unlock some of the more interesting combat moves, the game really comes into it's own. The enemy AI isn't anything to scoff at, either- they group up by twos and threes, but rarely bunch up close enough to complete some of the more advanced explosive challenges. And one more thing: Just Cause 3 would do well to take some pointers from Spencer's Arm. Could someone tell me more about Dark Sector? What are the highs and lows gameplaywise? I remember seeing my brother playing it years ago, and I have an affinity for older, less popular games.El_Zo1212o

A solid cover shooter.
The Glaive is alot of fun to use especially after you get power throw and after touch.
You can also use the glaive on various elements such as fire or electricity and it will take on those properties.
It's challenging, but fair.
It's 3 dollars

The story is complete nonsense. Seriously, I didn't even know what was going on half the time, much less care.
The Glaive is so overpowered that you hardly use secondary weapons.
Weapon selection is limited, and to have permanent secondary weapons (basically anything besides your pistol and glaive) you have to buy them on the black market which are pricey. All weapons found on the ground self destruct after 30 seconds of use.
