Gaming Bits writes: "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is akin to a dual-stick shooter on a three dimensional plane. The game's bland, generic graphics, along with the lackluster control scheme and camera, show its mediocre quality. Playing through this poorly paced campaign felt more like a chore than something fun. The one bright spot of this rushed, unpolished game is the unlockable movies, PSA's and concept art. Unless you are a huge G.I. Joe fan, skip this game because it is definitely not worth its $60 price tag."
G.I. Joe Arcade. On this week's Arcade Corner, Shacknews takes a look at G.I. Joe Arcade, a cabinet released well after the cartoon's cancellation
NowGamer: Brink developer's next project revealed?
G.I. Think it could be interesting if done the right way.
I think it could be a great idea if done in a style more like the original cartoon series, and NOT trying to be a CoD or Battlefield. Like a slightly more serious Team Fortress. Instead of picking classes, you pick characters. Like Tanks would be like Roadblock and Destro as an example. Multiple costumes for each character based on cartoons and comics. The only question is.....Do I use metal face Cobra Commander or Rag face Cobra Commander?
Edit- Pre-order bonus character? The Viper. Comes fully equipped with bucket and squigee. (I wonder if anyone is old enough to remember that)
*YAWN*
Honestly, why are such a good developer using such a boring license. I hope this isn't true.
G.I. Joe is a great franchise, but I don't know if it can handle another raping after the horrible movie and even more horrible last video game. I wish they would let someone who understands the franchise give it the treatment it deserves. Also, I think a TPS would be better. What if they did something like Star Wars Battlefront with G.I Joe... all the vehicles, and the environments with the Terror Drome. You can play as standard Cobra infantry and Joe infantry... and if you hit objectives you can play as main characters.
Easy to switch to TPS view in the Brink engine no doubt. Seems a good fit to me - the factions/characters easily fit a Brink scenario. Solid shooting already built - win/win
With Batman: Arkham City continuing to prove that licensed games can be good, what other properties deserve another shot?
I would love a good GI Joe game...I'm thinking a gritty FPS that is secretly super cheesy. Like, you've got your team of dudes charging into battle yelling "WE'RE OSCAR MIKE!" or whatever, but then they're all carrying laser guns and nobody gets killed.
Holy crap, that last G.I. Joe game was utter crap. Yes, I played it. At gunpoint. Shoulda just taken the bullet.
