Push Square: "We’d love to think that there was somebody out there that was desperate to play an on-rails version of the first three Rambo films, and that there’s a reason for this game to exist. Sadly, we suspect that that may just be wishful thinking. It’s more likely, then, that the developers thought that a popular name and a cheap budget would turn a profit – and with a boxed product and the promise of DLC on the way, we imagine that it’ll probably make a fortune."
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!
This game is TERRIBLE!
This game is still better than The Last Of Us.
Angry Joe really hammered down on this game, i like his review the best

Never heard of pushsquare. I'll take the word of a more popular and respected gaming site.
And if it is as bad as people are saying then the only way you are going to get to play a good Rambo game is by getting on the next plane to Japan. Their Rambo arcade game was fun.
Sucks to hear this game is crap.
And i bet the developers were all "Oh we are HUGE fans of the movies and we are going to make the amazing game the movies deserve!" TRANSLATION: "We are out to make a quick buck on a license to a very popular classic action movie."
