Bionic Commando only sells 27K units in US at launch

Bionic Commando sold that amount at U.S. retail from its May 19 release to the end of NPD's retail calendar on May 30, across both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.

wow that's pretty pitiful what with all the hype surrounding the game. they should try to widen the audience for the sequel. perhaps bring a new protagonist to the game. I know who'd be perfect and she's currently out of a job

lol at Ninja edit from mod(s) ...I see Samon's hand in this

That game was awful. The combat was painstaking and repetitive. The only cool part was swinging around but they kept ****ing interrupting you with the shitty combat.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed, on the other hand,was EXACTLY what more devs need to do now. It is the perfect example of how to update an old, 8-bit game and make it more than accessible and awesome to not only your old audience but a younger one as well. One of the all-time best games out there so far on PSN/XBLA.

yeah the rearmed game was fun but I'll only check out this new full game at the $10 price point

Hahaa.

Didn't even realize it had released.
What the ****, it looked pretty damn awesome too.

Seems to me like they completely failed to advertise the game.

On the contrary, I thought they advertised this too much.

I thought the game was fine, besides it being too linear and unforgiving if you left the path.

Shame, because it was a pretty fun game.

I'm waiting for the PC version.
