Bionic Commando sold that amount at U.S. retail from its May 19 release to the end of NPD's retail calendar on May 30, across both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.


wow that's pretty pitiful what with all the hype surrounding the game. they should try to widen the audience for the sequel. perhaps bring a new protagonist to the game. I know who'd be perfect and she's currently out of a job (http://halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=156831)

That game was awful. The combat was painstaking and repetitive. The only cool part was swinging around but they kept ****ing interrupting you with the shitty combat.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed, on the other hand,was EXACTLY what more devs need to do now. It is the perfect example of how to update an old, 8-bit game and make it more than accessible and awesome to not only your old audience but a younger one as well. One of the all-time best games out there so far on PSN/XBLA.

Didn't even realize it had released.
What the ****, it looked pretty damn awesome too. :(

Seems to me like they completely failed to advertise the game.

On the contrary, I thought they advertised this too much.

I thought the game was fine, besides it being too linear and unforgiving if you left the path.

Shame, because it was a pretty fun game.
