A dodge button make a hell of a lot of sense in 3D games! But only in games which have fast paced combat that requires it, like Devil May Cry. Games with a heavy focus on combat also require 2 (or maybe more) buttons for different kinds of attacks, since that's pretty much the whole game. I've never played Bionic Commando, but from what I gather the combat in that game doesn't require those things. But it doesn't mean they shouldn't be in some games. But I guess that's Bob's point anyway.

This game is easy beyond imagining to learn, but it takes a while to master, and it never ceases to be fun. THIS
