Eurogamer.net review by Dan Whitehead - 8 / 10

Much like Braid, Bionic Commando Rearmed also got some very exceptional reviews. The game is filled to the brim with content - an expanded single player campaign, offline cooperative play and multiplayer, and ridiculously difficult challenge rooms which push your abilities with the arm to the limit.

Some people would say its too difficult, that it's stuck a little too much in its initial style. I would say we shouldn't have it any other way. Once you take your time to understand just how the arm truly works, you'll be finishing levels quickly in no time.

For $10US the game really is a bargain, regardless of where you get it.
