Review | Bionic Commando Rearmed 2
A swing and a miss.

The side-scroller's success completely overshadowed the team's full-fat franchise reboot, which launched nine months later to critical grumblings that it wasn't as good as the 2D game. Even a staggering climax (spoilerphobes, look away now) that saw hero Nathan Spencer headbutt his nemesis to death in mid-air – after discovering his bionic arm was actually his dead wife, of course – wasn't enough to save it from flopping. A pair of unremarkable film tie-ins later, GRIN was sadly shuttered.
