Didn't mean the title to be a teaser in the sense that I'd found one yet but I was wondering if anyone else has?
With the game releasing tomorrow I'm on the fence about purchasing it. If it gets a 7 out of 10 or higher I might just pick it up. I'm not holding my breath that it will though..... If it rates lower than the above then I will probably just finish up my rental of Ghostbusters (Xbox 360) tonight and return it tomorrow to pick up G.I. Joe. As long as my video store (Hastings) has it that is. Just wondering if anyone else has seen a review anywhere? Played it themselves? |

haven't read a review, but 7 or higher I'll pick it up as well. I sold my only game, Killzone, this week to make room for it in anticipation. I only play one game at a time, was only about a quarter of the way through Killzone and hadn't touched it in over a month. no loss there. but an enjoyable Joe game would get me to pick up a controller again.

from the way it looks from the few pieces of footage shown, it should rate no more than a 5. looks like a 10 yr old game. maybe the bonus content will help but really its ea and they are a horrible company after all.

Someone mentioned on the boards that it might even hit $39.99 during one of the sales. Possibly that TRU sale starting next weekend?
Regardless I've seen it advertised at $49.99 which can mean bad things. The thing that irritates me the most (even though I still want to play it) is that there is no online co-op. What year is it? Come on EA, you could have tacked that on, campaign only, that would have been absolutely acceptable. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes out for a review and post it here if I find one. Thanks tankers. |

It looks interesting. Nothing ground breaking or anything. It reminds me of a 3d version of Contra, only with Joes.

First review for it is in at IGN, and no, it's not good.
5.8 Mediocre I might have been inclined to pick it up myself, if it had more playable COBRA characters and if they were accessible from the get go. Maybe I'll pick it up when it winds up in the bargain bins. |

To be fair though, sometimes IGN (and Gamespot) are smoking crack when they give their reviews. Not defending this game by any means, just saying that sometimes I enjoy games that didn't get such uber reviews.

Haha, a 5.8, well the movie themed games just keep getting ALL the great reviews don't they?
Honestly I wasn't expecting much from this game but it should be fun to rent and play through. Again though, a missed opportunity. If they would have taken it seriously from the get go (anyone play Wolverine's game this year? I feel that was taken seriously by the developers) they could have made something that would have sold a ton and been worth a dang. Instead I suppose they'll just sell a ton of these and make another crapptastic sequel next year or for G.I. Joe The Rise of "THE" Cobra Part Deux! |
