Ross Hartley: "It makes me sad that the only people who are going to buy this are the people who don't read about games before they buy them. They are going to look at the screenshots and think, "Huh, looks like a first-person shooter." They are going to be extremely disappointed when they boot the game up and will feel the need to make-up some excuse to get a refund. If this game didn't have the Rambo license, then no one would be talking about it and that's what Rambo: The Video Game ultimately deserves."
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!
I watched Angry Joe's review and it pretty much says it all. It should not have even gotten a 2 IMO.
I assumed that this license would be too much for a good game. But hope dies last.
Now it died.
I grew up with Rambo and love the movies. The more i regret that these ***** developers messed up the game royally.
