Platinum Difficulty Rating

Personally, it was a 7.

I chose to break it up into two playthroughs, and honestly was pretty glad. It took me a good chunk of time finding all of the collectibles and doing the challenges, but then when it came time for my Commando run it only took me like 5 hours.

And I agree, Snipers were by far the worst.

8/10
I'm proud with this plat. The hardest in my carrier. :P All this s*** to found in one run and hard lvl..... I needed ~50h and 2 runs.

How is this so low?
This is the worst plat ever.

7. It was easily my hardest platinum, but very doable. I did a commando run first, got a feel for the challenges and collectibles, then breezed through again on normal.

this game is so f* annoying to play, i'll finish the game just one time on normal and no more, no HARD, no COMMANDO, no COLLECTIBLES, damn now i now why GRIN went out of business!

I did a single playthrough to plat Bionic Commando and because of that I voting 8, Alot of those challenges were hellish on the hardest difficulty and even still I amazed I got some of them doing it that way, plus level select is pretty much worthless so bang it out while your there or do a whole 'nother playthrough.

Got my platinum a few days ago. Voted a 6. This game was extremely hard at first on commando, but once you get familiar with the controls and traversing the game world in the fashion they've designed, it's really pretty fun actually.

Just got the platinum

i give it a 7, because I chose to get all the collectibles during my first playthrough on hard. A very enjoyable game that doesn't deserve all the hate/blame it gets, should've sold much more copies.

Yes, if you die you might have to re-play quite a bit and repeat any challenge/collectible you got between checkpoints, but to avoid frustration is enough to concentrate collectibles and challenges during a normal playthrough.

Finally plat'ed it as well. The roardmap here helped me pretty much, I would have tried COmmando on first try if I wouldn't have read it...
I'll give it a 7 as well. I'm not that shooter-guy and I did it - so it can't be that hard! Though some of the boss-fights really made me curse the game...
Getting the collectibles is pretty similar to Uncharted IMO. Only difference is the longer time between checkpoints. Challenges also are if I think about it... But the way to combine those challenges with the trophies is solved better, also IMO. ;o
Good luck to all trying it to plat!
