PS3 Review – G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Vehicles in this game are god-awful. It seems the developer tried for a Halo vehicle approach, and just totally missed it’s mark. Driving these things are a pain in the ass, and the controls are clunky as can be.
The game is incredibly easy, as at one point the controller was actually off as I went to do something else. The computer just does everything for you, and you’re just help. You do not die in the game, merely knocked out, and if you are playing on Casual mode, you will be automatically revived. Going up in the three modes that are available, you have Casual, Normal, and Hardcore. Being Hardcore, it is the hardest mode, and when you die, you actually stay dead. After playing this game, I wished I could as well.
Do not get me started on the game’s graphics, which look like they were from a mediocre 2005 PS2title. I was playing through a PS3 game, when clearly it looked as though I was playing a game from the last generation of consoles.
Finally, the story for this title I could not understand for the life of me, if there even was a story. It is set after the events of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and I was only aware of that by reading the back of the box.
Overall, the title is (sorry Double Helix) awful. Bad graphics, mixed with horrible gameplay, and an iffy camera, make this possibly one of the worst titles of the year. When you are making a game based off a rather large intellectual property, you want gamers to remember that this was a fantastic game. This is not the case at all.
PlayStation LifeStyle’s Final Score
Awful graphics make this title look like a PS2 or Xbox game from late 2004 or early 2005. Devoid of storyline |  |

I said basically the same from seeing the commercials, it looked like a joke or PSP game XD
game looked pitiful every time i saw something on it.
Ok, Mr. Dan Massi, what did you do? Must have been something bad to get stuck playing and reviewing this garbage. Keep it up and you’ll be relegated to a life of playing and reviewing third party Wii games. That’s the game reviewers equivalent to “water boarding”.
i’ve heard nothing but horrible about this game. sorry you had to suffer through it Dan. i’d buy you a cold one (or twelve) if i could. might help wash away the memories, if only for a while.
Ouch.
Makes you wonder why they even bother. Considering the horrible reviews, I don’t think it would get too many rentals even from little kids who just saw the movie.
@ Mitch Cumstein
I was asked to review the game, haha. You can’t really deny when the person you work for asks you.
OMG that last screenshot looked like a gimpy PSP game not a full blown PS3 title.
this was definitely the worst game I have EVER played. I honestly don’t know how some developers sleep at night knowing they are releasing such a horrible piece of garbage. I would have given it a 0/5
perhaps it will win worst game of the year, someone has to, right?
I wonder when would they stop making garbage movie games. *sigh* I guess when a name could sell, why not right? I would just want to do alot of thinking in making games based on movies. It just needs to be fun.
wow l was going to rent this but a 1 rating is now making me hesitant. l don’t want a repeat with Prince of Persia
i expected this game to suck.. rarly do movie based game do good.
@shadowjin
the reason they dont is because they hide the story or they cant branch in another direction.
