"It's worth checking out to play with the swing mechanics and to see the game's impressive visuals," Conrad wrote in the Destructoid review of Bionic Commando, "but I wouldn't recommend wasting more than a few hours on it and can't encourage anyone to pay retail price for the opportunity."
Well, now you don't have to. It looks like Capcom's poor sales of the title are your gain.
Today retailer GameStop has dropped the price of Bionic Commando for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to $19.99. While the price is still $59.99 on GameStop.com, we've confirmed this with the retailer this morning. It's more likely this is a limited time deal, and not a permanent price drop.
Go get it while it's hot.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Just as a tip, this is still 1000 points on Goozex, so it's a great flip opportunity.

the system works.
The first case being a person who, after being over saturated with an opinion they have yet the ability to form, instead adopts that opinion as their own per overwhelming "evidence" in it's favor. The amount of evidence needed to persuade this individual is merely one account.
The second being a person who refuses to play any title without the words "Halo", "Zelda" or "of War" in it. If it wasn't made on a 200 billion dollar budget, then it isn't worth their time and/or their hard earned allowance. If there isn't polish around every corner or 8000 features to look at and never do anything with, then it's a piece of shit.
I picked this up upon hearing the price drop, because it got some pretty decent scores (a 7 means good, which this game mostly got) and after playing a few levels and heading to work, I'm left with a fond and positive experience. The controls are great, and hardly fucking terrible like half of the comments here are making it out to be, and the visuals are very pretty and the multiplayer is a nonsensical, horribly unbalanced blast.
You people that can only play the most perfect of perfect games are the ones that cried a river of blood when MGS4 "only" got 9.5's instead of "perfect" 10's.
I haven't played through it entirely, but nearly all of the people commenting haven't even given it a try and are already calling it out on it's bluff of prmoised "fun". Most of you should give it a try before overlooking it completely.
BC is an awful game that people should avoid. I played the game from start to finish, gave the multiplayer a few days and I can easily say this is an empty box.
There are better games that people could and should be playing.
It also had a great marketing campaign in the form of the BC website, podcast, web-comic and BC:Rearmed. Some of the hate is probability backlash from that.
Those people knew how to sell a game, too bad they didn't know how to make one.
... but am I seriously the only one who can tell a game's going to be shit before its release?
I KNEW this game would blow, just like a hundred other tiny blip titles that everyone gets so NERDRAGED over when they read all the shit reviews. Come on. This isn't a surprise. As others are saying: 20 bucks is still 20 bucks too expensive.
This game could be given to me for FREE and I wouldn't play it.
Jeez - you start out without your arm.. then you get it back. I thought it was called Rearmed. Who knew. lol
