Rambo: The Video Game is an upcoming first-person shooter title from Reef Entertainment based on the Rambo movie series. Last year, the game got introduced with a few environmental images, now Rambo is getting a fresh update with two action concepts.
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!
Something tells me this is going to be another Aliens coloniel marines.
You know, if there's one movie that would be perfect for a video game it's Rambo. Make it a TPS, give it some decent controls, a cover system, destructible environments, survival elements,, a working stealth system, etc. Get Sly to do the voice, and have his likeness in the game. And give it some fun multiplayer. That right there would be perfect, and would probably sell very well. I would love that.
However, according to comments on the games Facebook page, this isn't really an FPS. It's an On-Rails Shooter. Lost all my excitement when I read that. Such a great license, and they completely wasted it.
It looks good graphicly. Are those bull shots or actual in game images is my question.
goty. calling it now.
:P
I still got a NES cartridge copy of the first Rambo game. It was a blast to play back in the days.
