Cheap and short action platformer that plays like Megaman but with a different power up system. The visual style is easily the most striking thing about it and gives it a great vibe. Levels and bosses strike a good balance of being challenging enough to not be push overs but not so hard that you'll get frustrated. Also enjoyed the unlockable duck mode in which you have to flap your way through the run and gun levels with no offensive capabilities. Nothing amazing but easy to recommend as a good time for 2 bucks.

Its funny going back and playing this after playing Rift Apart since it feels like it is doing so much more than Rift Apart with so much less. This is despite the fact that for 2003 this is what a big budget triple AAA game looked like. Going Commando probably tries the least out of the PS2 era games to have a compelling story but damn does it build on the original so successfully as a game that every Ratchet and Clank game to this day is still essentially Going Commando with a new story and fancier graphics.
