Review: Rambo: The Video Game (DarkZero)

Dom from DarkZero writes – "The announcement of Rambo: The Video Game came out of the blue when it was revealed back in late 2011. It seemed a bit of a strange thing to do, since the last Rambo film was in 2008 and there was no information that a new Rambo film would be materialising on the big screen, so why? Well, Reef Entertainment, the publishers who acquired the rights to release a video game based on the licence, were hoping to get the game out around the period of Stallone’s The Expendables 2 (released August 2012), but that didn't happen. With the game finally coming out over a year later, one does wonder if there was development problems that forced the game as it is – an on-rails shooter without a light gun that isn't good and doesn't do the Rambo licence justice, but, in some bizarre way, the game has a sort of “it’s so dumb, it’s fun” personality about it."
