This is such a big, dumb game. It's just mindless. It's not even fun in that over-the-top, 80s action film kind of way.
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 rented this despite bad reviews. Sent it back after the first mission, it really is that bad.
Easily the worst game of the year so far. Why can't anyone make a great rambo game?
it's not THAT bad. I'm sure GG only gave it that rating because Angry Joe did.
I've seen the show and they just copy other reviews. (They didn't used to)
Honestly I'd say there's poorly done games, then there's offensively poorly done games, then there's uninspired poorly done games, then completely broken games.
Rambo would rank as poorly done, but not offensively bad or uninspired. (By uninspired I mean like cheap clone games where you can tell everyone making it doesn't care)
Not only did I enjoy the lightgun action with my Move controller (It was a step above other rail shooters I've played, you get to see the gun, you can use multiple guns, grenades, etc.)
but I really liked seeing the movie again but in game format.
This was a game no one asked for aswell.
It shouldn't have the same expectations as regularly appearing titles.
I actually considered picking this up today after finding a second hand copy but passed when I discovered that the number on the little sticker was the money they were asking me to give them for it and not what they were offering me to take it.
