First we told you the new Bionic Commando side-scroller adds jumping. Then we praised the jumping. Today, we add: But you donât have to jump.

Either way, youâve got a gun and, of course, the seriesâ signature swinging grappling hook. You can swing toward enemies, pull barrels toward you and toss them away, and all the other basic stuff a Bionic Commando hero should do.
You gain other abilities in the game, including optional passive attributes such as automatic health regeneration or an item-attracting tractor beam.
Jumping? You can skip it. This concept of adding a fundamental new move to a character who didnât have it for years â and then not making it essential â would seem odd, but only if this game wasnât coming from Capcom, a publisher that still canât gracefully address the conundrum of whether characters in Resident Evil should be able to run and shoot at the same time.
Movement changes are a confusing thing in the games of Capcom. So jump in the next Bionic Commando, or donât. Confused? At least Bionic Commando: Rearmed was a good game. Hopefully any confusion about this aspect of the sequel wonât be a drawback.
Rearmed 2 is set for an early 2011 release as a downloadable game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
