IGN: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra -- The Game Review
curious to see if the ps3/360 versions fare better. I don't know why i get my hopes up that movie/licensed games wll be good, since it's pretty rare they are... Quote:
Still, I held out hope that the folks at EA could come up with something at least decent. They did not. G.I. Joe is an unattractive, repetitive and humorless videogame with only a few bright moments.

That's about all I expected from the game after the screenshots started coming out. Maybe unlockables make it more worthwhile for Joe fans but the average gamer will probably be disappointed. It did still fare better in review than many movie games, so maybe it's not that bad relatively speaking.
I will probably wait until it is on sale or price dropped. I would rather put the $50 to a ROC Rhino. |

I'm shocked and appalled. I don't think I'll waste my free monthly rental on it, but a $10 purchase would probably not be out of hand.
Considering it's the same game on 360/PS3, and Hilary is actually the Xbox editor over there, I'd assume the other versions to get the same score within half a point. That's probably why he's reviewing the Wii version.

If you watched the whole review, the guy bashes the movie also in the last seconds of the review....you know which side he's on.

I am still taking a nonbiased perspective into everything ROC and then make judgements for myself. The dude that wrote this review starts off by saying how he had "hundreds of G.I. Joe figures as a kid" and the idea of bringing back "something from the 80's" makes him "want to vommit". Enough said right there. He could have given his review prior to playing the game, he already hated everything about the new Joe movie and game, unfair review. There are going to be 3 people 1) People who love the new stuff. 2)People that hate the stuff before they see anything and 3) People that hate the stuff after they see new items. Personally, I'd still bang Molly Ringwald.

I did notice that, and knew many folks would take offense, but if you read past those comments (i mostly glazed those sections) he also has plenty of legitimate gripes regarding game-play and style.
...and like i said, how often are movie tie-in games actually good. 1 in 10? 1 in 20? It just sounds like a bland shake n' bake cash grab tie-in to me. It'll have some goodies for the fans, but not a lot else to offer...

A more positive review:
Review - G.I. JoeThe Rise of Cobra :: playmagazine.com :: your source for games, anime, media, and more another not so positive: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review for PlayStation 3 (PS3) for anyone planning to pick it up, TRU has a sale, get $10 off any Joe purchase of $50 or more, which the game counts as. to make up for the penny difference from the $49.99, just add a figure to your purchase for free essentially and still get another $2 back. |

If Play gives it a good review, expect an ok, not great game. Play seems to give anything a good review.
