IGN: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Game Review

IGN writes: "I grew up in the '80s and owned more than a hundred G.I. Joes. I was obsessed for the better part of my childhood with the action figures. Needless to say, I watched the show as if it held the secrets to the universe. So when G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra feature film was announced, naturally I vomited on myself. Nothing good can come from dredging up '80s nostalgia. What's next, bringing back Molly Ringwald's awkward dance moves from The Breakfast Club? What was worse, I knew that a summer feature meant new toys (that were lesser versions of my '80s collection), some form of fast food joint tie-in, and a new videogame. Cartoon-to-movie translations don't have a great track record for quality, but attempts at cartoon-to-movie-to-game translations fare even worse."

why do they even bother to review these crap movie games?

Dragun6195389d ago

While I'm not surprised about the score of the game, I am for one, Very surprised that IGN gave the movie a 3.5 out of 5.

I checked Rottentomatoes and so far it has an 80% with 8 out of 10 critics saying its a good movie. That was totally unexpected as I thought it would suck ass like Dragonball Evolution or SF:Chun Li.

japanese movies can't be well done into american films Unless they are Realistic.

Cosplay Babe of the Week is the Baroness

J Lynch: "It seems like every week when we’re trying to figure out who to pick as the CBotW, we end up looking to the fighting genre because game designers have intentionally made the female characters of that genre appear “over the top” (and quite often in the “top” area). Instead we’ve looked to the action genre and plucked a character from the world of games based on cartoons and movies. While games based on licensed materials rarely satisfy, we think our pick this week for the Cosplay Babe of the Week does a good job."

hells yea I would. That one doing laundry is SO fine.

hay5030d ago

There's something about tight clothes, big boobies and nice asses :D

I'm sold for that asian beauty who dominated the gallery with picture amount. Also last pic from second page. That girl looks evil, I love it, great cosplay.

GunShotEddy5030d ago

Actually like that these girls pulled off sexy while be covered. See ladies, you don't have to be half-naked to be hot.

JohnnyMann4205030d ago

vgn245030d ago

Something about the red hair on her. She's the asian Baroness?

RageAgainstTheMShine5030d ago

jphelps805030d ago

She have worn that red wig and done Scarlett from GI Joe and do like a both sides thing. Very nice.

charlescox45030d ago

Asians FTW. The one on page two destroys em all. And thatOs taking into account that the others are hot too.

BeaRye5030d ago

The one doing laundry is the same ciosplayer who does that super popular Morrigan. She's very well 'equipped' for cosplaying.

DGS-Online: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review

DGS-Online writes: "What underlies the phenomenon as a return of GI Joe? Youth Sentiment and enthusiasm of the generation who grew up, and now the opportunity to ensure a revival? The cynic would argue that it is cheaper for an existing concept to dust off something completely new. Anyway, the end result is a game based on a film based on a popular series in the 80 toys."

Gamer 2.0 Review: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Gamer 2.0 writes: "If you don't mind, we would like to take the opening of this review to catch our breath a little. You see, we've been assaulted. Heavily. We didn't expect to be smacked with such a mind-numbing force when we popped in our copy of GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. All was fine through the first bit of it. We were able to laugh off the melodramatic voice acting and horrific-looking character models. But what we didn't know was how much of a chore getting through the game would be. And knowing is half the battle, right?"
