Bionic Chainsaw Pogo Gorilla Review

You can find the game on Adult Swim here:  http://games.adultswim.com/bionic-chainsaw-pogo-gorilla-action-online-game.html

Roger Barr of I-Mockery has done it again with cartoony violence and old school gaming sensibilities.  BCPG is about an ordinary gorilla who was captured and experimented upon by an evil corporate guy who transformed him into a bionic mockery of nature.  Our hero breaks free and it's time to rampage.

The funnest part of the game is that you unlock different parts that you can pick and mix for your gorilla.  Head, body, each arm, and bottom can be changed for truly wacky creations.

Your basic movement is a pogo bounce so plan accordingly with your jumps.  You can jump, swing your arms in a death circle (if you hold down the button it will be continuous) and your arms will stretch forward on sinews for a ranged rebounding attack with the push of a different button.  There are power ups, and negative pickups as well!  The gameplay is fast-paced and over-the-top enemy designs add to it for a feeling of manic violent glee.

The animation is fluid and detailed.  The music and sounds are absolutely top-notch.  It is a challenging and fun game.  I give it 4.5 out of 5.  Give it a go.
