Rambo seems like the perfect property to make a video game out of, doesn’t it? You’ve got action, stealth, exotic locations, and even in the first film where Rambo didn’t kill anybody, there’s still the opportunity for evasive thrills. Well, as today's debut trailer for the upcoming Rambo: The Video Game proves, such a concept is easier said than done.
Movie tie-ins were a staple of the video game industry not too long ago. Only within the last few years, movie studios figured out that unless you can commit the finances and time to make a good game, a movie tie in could do more harm for the brand than good. Game Guider Oscar Giggins takes a look at the top 3 best and worst movie tie-in games and looks at what made them either a memorable part of gaming history or a notorious mistake destined for the trash.

PP: A while back there was a Rambo game released for PS3 that used the PS Move. It didn’t go down too well with most who played it, so we’re actually quite surprised to be sat here writing that it’s getting a free DLC update tomorrow in the form of Baker Team.
That's incredibly bizarre but okay... I guess that's great for the three masochists who still play it!
LOLOLOLOLOL
Look at Rambo's face!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I agree.
Look at his hair, the animations and the guns. FPS didn't do this game any favors.
I'll say one thing about the prospects of this games success: 'We'll need more body bags'.
it is next to impossible for people to play games for fun and enjoyment only. You make up your mind based on early graphics to hate on this game and therefore never even give it a chance.
Day 1.
