Quick Look: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Sweet!

Well... this looks terrible

This game sucks.
 
Is this correct?

COBRALALALALALALA

Jeff or Brad: Does the game autoaim as bad on the harder difficulties?

This game looks BAD!

Anyone remember Expendable by RARE? It's pretty similar. G. I. Joe doesn't even look that much better …

Fallout 3 had better character animations.

Nice a Brad and Jeff Quick look.

what a boring game!! 

How in the crap do achievements only work for P1? Fail!

With all of those glowing bullets and over the top arcade style, this totally reminds me of Sunset Riders.

this game looks terrible, and I usually like shit games like dark sector or timeshift
 
edit: oh, they used actual toy vehicles at least, because i used to have that snow thing many many years ago (but not the original, I had the tiger force version >_>)

Looking forward to the movie, not the game

This looks like the worst game ever.

looks like an XBLA game.

How far do you think youll go by holding down forward and holding the shoot button? Id say pretty damn far.

iight, Wild Bill!

I dunno, it looks like it's hard to see stuff.  I would've gone with a top-down Ikari Warriors view.
 
Also, if this was a real G.I. Joe game, nobody would hit anyone with any of the weapons.
 
If the movie is even 1/10th as good as this game, then it will be 10x the amount of all kinds of awful.  (straight math, g)

I was hoping this game would be decent because it has been too long since the last good G.I. Joe game.

" looks like an XBLA game. "

At least they're consistent with their pissing on my expectation that a G.I. Joe movie/game might be good.

Yo Joe

This game looks awful. You guys deserve awards for doing this quick look for us.

Simpsons Game did the same thing with only giving player 1 achievements in co-op.  I don't see where the logic is in that, nor why EA continues to do it.

Oh hell yeah! XD
 
Ok, watching this now it actually seems like something with the makings of a relatively decent (800points'ish) XBLA game (that wall portion was totally Contra). As a retail release though, this is just sad.

They sure did make a boring game and only player 1 gets achievements? come on game developers.

$50?  Seriously?

wanna play a shooter? okay, here have some autoaim that'll make it fun! 
 
i would play this game if i got paid...

The Fortress fight reminded me of the first boss of Contra. In fact, I keep getting a 3d-ish Contra game while watching this.

" looks like an XBLA game. "

well... the best part of this game is the rankings, but those aren't that great either.

it looks like my little brother made this game :)

Wow...just wow.!

Brad not dying is the other half of the battle.

Maybe I'll add this to my gamefly queue for laughs and see how I can play it before I am bored

This game reminds me of an ill conceived version of a Contra game with how the level's progress and how that fight against the fortress were conveyed while missing the fun and challenge said franchise.   To think they are charging a near full price of this title is disturbing.

So clearly I'm not the only one who was getting a strong Contra vibe from the game, from the whole CO-OP thing to the overall level layout and weapons design.
 
Too bad the game looks totally broken though, as expected.

"We now own Heavy Duty...take whatever cultural commentary you want from that"   
 
Oh, and this game is shit.

Brad... i am very disappointing in you :(
 
Brad, Start to death: N/A
 
That's two now!

This should be good fun to eat lunch to...

Ugh

Congratulations for not dying in a Quick Look, Brad!

It looks like a bad XBLA game...

How remarkably bland for a game.

$5 downloadable game is the right place/price

I predict two out of five stars. Rubbish.
