Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Like they did with Lost Planet, Capcom is giving us an early look at Bionic Commando's competitive multiplayer with a demo which will be arriving soon on Xbox Live Marketplace. A specific date for the demo is yet to be announced but expect it to arrive before the end of April.

The demo will feature 8 player deathmatch mode on a map called Vertigo. With a title like that, expect a heavy focus on verticality. In the retail version of the game, players will gain access to team deathmatch and capture the flag game modes as well as 15 more multiplayer maps.

With Bionic Commando not being your typical shooter, the demo coming out prior to the full game's release will give gamers a chance to familiarize themselves with the unique maneuvers such as Death From Above which lets players slam down on their opponents resulting in massive damage and the Zip Kick which involves grappling an enemy then zipping in to kick them off the edge of a building.

The least we can do for you whilst you wait is give you a glimpse of what you can expect from the multiplayer demo. Enjoy the video.
