They didn't fix the main flaw in the original though, namely the lack of a jump button. I'm not talking "crazy super mario" jumping, I'm talking "let me get over the barrel and sandbags without embarrassing myself" jumping. Quite frankly, that's the only thing that made the original (and this remake) hard. Imho the game wasn't hard, it was just poorly designed in this respect. The bionic arm is hard to work but that would have been ok if you didn't have to use the arm for any kind of movement. You can't simply jump down a platform, you have to walk off the end to go down and often use your stupid arm to catch yourself before you hit water.

I'm not a big fan of bionic commando myself. I really think it's one of the few capcom franchises that need to remain buried. Now a new ghouls and ghosts, that's where it's at. Aurthor might be in hard games, but at least he's not some kind of non-jumping freak!
