Bionic Commando sees the of the bionically-enhanced Nathan Rad Spencer voiced by Mike Patton the former lead singer of Faith No More. Time has not been kind to Spencer 10 years after his heroic defeat of the Imperials in the original game he has been betrayed by the government he swore to serve imprisoned for crimes he didnt commit and sentenced to death. On the very day of Spencers execution terrorists detonate a massive experimental weapon in Ascension City unleashing an intense earthquake that has turned the city into rubble and wiped out its population. With the terrain in ruins and the citys air defense grid now in the control of a massive terrorist force whose goal remains unclear the FSA have only one option left - a behind-the-lines assault. The perfect job for a Bionic Commando. Bionic Commando transposes the swing-and-shoot gameplay of the 8-bit original to a 3D environment of towering buildings suspended roadways and monorails deep canyons and sheer rock faces where every environment is scalable using swinging scaling climbing and wall-walking techniques.
