I think this is a fabulous handheld iteration of Bionic Commando. It has some of my favorite levels and music in the series. It feels a bit flat though. I think the levels in the NES titles are just right in terms of its scale and dynamism. This one has a lot of just long sections of walking in it not helped by the closed in camera. I also think it generally feels worse than the NES game, but it approximates the feel a lot better than other console to Gameboy conversions do. I think it's a great time especially if you like the NES game. Just don't expect anything that really builds on the foundation either.
