" I'm interested in the movie, if only for Christopher Eccleston.  "
It's tragic irony that Eccleston wasn't in Castlevania Ecclesia.  I mean how could they miss that?

1. Don't watch the 1st minute.  
2. Turn off your audio.
3. Try to relate this POS to G.I. Joe

This reminds me of Contra with all that was good about the game stripped away.

I am 15 minutes into this video, and I just now realised that this is a full Xbox 360 game.  This baffles me, because this may as well be an XBLA game.

Absolutely terrible!!!
Looks and plays like a budget  PSX  game.
This is the first "quick look" I couldn't even finish watching.
If this sells more than 10 copies ...it's a crime.
 
Ugh! I feel the need to go take a shower now.

You guys are incomprehensible sometimes.  
 
This game looks pretty good. I mean, If the characters DIDN'T look like their counterparts you would be mad. THey look almost spot on and you're still not happy. You're upset Destro is a guy?!? Would you seriously be LESS upset if he was wearing a metal head and talked from undernath it? or worse yet they computer generated a moving face? 
 
I mean, come on. Once you accept that you're playing a GI Joe game, you have to accept what's obviously going to come with that. 
 
And don't play games on the easiest difficulty level and then complain that they're boring.

I think I'd rather watch the old cartoons & read the old comics than see the movie or play the video game.  This game looks worse than Salvation.  You should have hired the Angry Video Game Nerd to quick look this piece of shit.

"The guy from Linkin Park" xD I thought you were serious there for a moment because it does look a lot like him and I wouldn't put that past Hollywood these days as an odd casting decision.

This game doesn't look very good, at all. I'm shocked that they think this passes as a real boxed retail game, I've seen more substance in $10 downloadable games, and this costs $60 bucks? I have a hard time believing everyone involved in this was happy with what they put out, Jesus.

IDK about this. I looks to me like it is trying to be a 3-D Contra while being a G.I. Joe game. Not for me.

As a XBLA or PSN release, this could've been quite nice. Not Trine-quality, but nice.

But as FULL RETAIL? You gotta be kidding me.

You mean $49.99. Also, you mean SHELVES. Not "shelf's".

Jeff and Brad need to check their sister site for more recent G.I. Joe information.  According to Comic Vine, Dial Tone has been a woman since the comic series switched from Marvel to IDW Publishing.  She was also a woman in the recent G. I. Joe: Resolute animated movie.  
 
Game looks boring and is over priced at $50.  Should be no higher than $30, because only kids under 8 would play it.

They should have just made this a XBLA game. I would at least be 1/2 interested in it then.

If this looks like an XBLA game, then I am glad I dont have an Xbox-), because this is truly a  WASTE OF TIME.
