Bionic Commando: Elite Forces is a video game released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color. Though it borrows some elements from its predecessors, Elite Forces is different from the rest of the series (see Bionic Commando). Among the differences is a different plot. Also, the characters (an unnamed male or female commando) have a few more moves, such as the ability to climb down from platforms.

[edit] Plot

The peaceful land of Karinia is being terrorized by an evil man named Arturus. He is the leader of an evil army called The Avars. As the Elite Forces fight the Avars, they receive a fragmented communication from Commander Joseph "Super Joe" Gibson, who had infiltrated their territory. Joe's message revealed that Arturus was planning to launch the Albatross Project. After that, communication with Joe was lost. The Bionic Corps contacted the Elite Forces to help stop the Avars, prevent the fall of Karinia, and rescue Super Joe.^[1]

[edit] Features

There are some special features, such as the ability to save the game via battery back-up (which has been known to introduce a game-freezing bug), some shooting sequences, and a choice of protagonists. Also, the characters sport rotoscoped animation, similar to early '90s games like Prince of Persia or Out of this World.
