As an inevitable tie-in to one of the biggest box office flicks of the summer months, G.I. Joe on the DS has a lot to live up to for fans expecting that something extra after the movie experience. Descended from the popular line of toys that peaked in popularity in the 80s and 90s, and which has continued in some form to the present day, The Rise of Cobra serves as a sequel to the events of the live-action film. But is it another licensed dud or should it receive a commendation?

MEGamers writes: "Guns, explosions, testosterone, and bad guys – these are the only things that come to mind when I think of the cartoon "G.I.Joe". Having watched that show during my younger years, I was excited when a movie based on the franchise came to cinemas this year. Sadly, the movie turned out to be a complete waste of time and an over-the-top production of a much cherished show. So naturally when the video game was released, I wasn't expecting anything great either, and sure enough I had little joy playing this title."
Gamez writes: "Yo Joe! Your mission is as follows: walking through a dozen levels in four different environments, shooting at anything loose and stuck it to the end and try to keep up. Small tip: take your finger off the trigger any time."
