Bionic Commando-Xbox 360

Ok fair warning, I could only get through about 2 hours of this game before I was blindingly sick of it.  

I played a ton of the original version of this game on a PC port in the 80's.  I remember being totally hooked by the bionic arm gimick and even though the game was hard I really liked it.  This is not the case with the 360 reboot.  Control feels clunky and the world textures are bland at best.  To top it off the story goes to some length to portray the hero as a badass bionic soldier who has spent the last 5 years in jail but in reality he is pretty fragile and dies from hurting his hand punching the bad guys.   I will admit that the guy in the original was also a total wuss and would die from a single hit but that just doesn't work for me anymore.  I also found the checkpoint system really irritating, every time I died I had to replay the previous section.  That is actually what motivated me to haul this game back up to Blockbuster before the rental time was even up. 

My advice: this is one to skip.
