This game is both extremely hardcore on difficulty... but err it just feels really clunky.

 

In particular the diagonal shooting of your grapple. Half the time it just doesn't do what you want.

I agree. It was acceptable on the NES, but it just feels broken nowadays.

I agree with the grapple thing. Just standing still will make him shoot his grapple diagonally. If I'm running and I want to stick to something he always grapples straight infront. It's a bit annoying.

Erm, the grapple always does what its meant to do. You guys just aren't hardcore enough. Stop for a split second to fire diagonal, forward for forward, up for up, up when falling for forward. Try doing the tutorials if you can't do it, after a while it becomes second nature and very easy. And the co-op is sweet.

Wow BC Rearmed is actually quite epic. There's a lot to do and those challenges are a bastard and a half.

Did you get all the puzzle pieces on the first level? I think you need to at least do that to be aware of how clever the game is.

You can normally get them a bit cheaper online.

As long as you move right, the key will move with you in time, if you move left, it will start to go back in time
