No jump, no Super Joe, no buy.

DAT STASHE....
ITS ENTOXICATING.....

I have been using that same background for a while...but its too busy.

@naim
So BC rearmed was a no buy? still had super joe but no jump...I'm confused now.

just play streemerz instead

I've played through about 4/5 of the game so far and I'm fine with the jump. The game can be played without it but it's just a nice little bonus, I think.

Game is awesome, just don't jump ya crybabies. Fucking Internet kids get off my lawn

What really detracts from the game for me is that the control feel much less crisp than Bionic Commando: Rearmed. The new swing mechanics are kind of flaky. This combined with the levels not being as well designed and the co-op implementation being kind of half-assed left me disappointed. I probably won't be purchasing games made by Fat Shark in the future. Their games always seem to fall short (Lead and Gold ended up disappointing as well.)

I have some problems with the new Bionic Commando Rearmed, but jumping isn't one of them. It's clear that developers tried to bring Bionic Commando to the modern times and these days we have enough buttons in our controllers for jump and swing (and still have room for shooting and special button).

Swinning and flying around was the best in Bionic Commando (original and rearmed). The feeling you got when you slowly mastered the swing mechanics and started to do more and more complex maneuvers was amazing. ReArmed 2 doesn't take this away and jumping just adds one more element to master your movement in the game.

I kinda rambled there so let's say it more simply. Jump works fine, I have no problem with it, it's cool.

The levels were not at all designed with jump in mind, that's the problem. Besides a couple of boss fights, there was no need to jump. They could have demanded more of the player by having less lamp posts to swing from or what have you, but instead they kept the design much the same as in the first, ultimately making the game more dull than ever.
