G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Xbox 360)
Video Review
Check out the video review.
For me and millions of 30-35 year olds in this country, the last great licensed property to be turned into a modern video game is GI Joe. With its cast of iconic, colorful heroes, memorably diabolical villains, near-future technology and focus on military action (with a splash of much-needed ninja swordplay), Hasbro’s classic toy line seems primed for an awesome action game. Sadly, no games based off the cartoon, toys or original Marvel comic have been produced since GI Joe: The Atlantis Factor for the NES in 1992. The announcement of the much-maligned "GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra" movie pretty much guaranteed that we’d finally get a Joe game, though not quite the version of the team we were hoping for. Sadly, the game isn’t what we were hoping for, either.
