Review of G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra

This game is based on the Gauntlet engine developed for the Nintendo DS, which for various reasons did not see the light of day in a Gauntlet game.Gauntlet itself never made it out for the DS, but the engine lives on at the heart of this game.You'd think they just slapped the GI Joe stuff on there and rushed this out, but there are some surprises like driving tanks that wouldn't have an equivalent in a Gauntlet game, but I am just guessing.

It's a fun game, although getting use to the controls will reveal a small learning curve everything else is straightforward with close and long range attacks and special weaponthe only buttons youneed to remember.

In short, while this kind of overhead perspective game might not be for everyone it might be for you. Do youlike Gauntlet, Baldars Gate (Console version), Chaos Engine, Alien Breed and so on ? Do you like games that have a small learning curve, but once you catch on are all about running aroundsolving simple puzzles and destroying hordes of enemies and machinery along the way?Then it's a no brainer. Otherwise you might want to check out some videos first to make sure this is for you.
