JOE The Rise of Cobra is an accessible third person action-arcade shooter that allows players to recreate and relive the greatest moments from the film, cartoon series and action toy line. Unique top-down arcade shooter, built from the ground up specifically for the Nintendo DS. Choose from six G.I. JOE characters and five COBRA characters.

    This is a mediocre game who tries to make the most of the movie premiere and sell as much copies as possible.

    The game’s ugly as sin but it at least has a fun design to fall back upon – G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is an energetic DS game that’s a cool, simplistic diversion. If you’re a fan of blowing crap to high heaven, this game will be right up your alley – just don’t expect to be floored by the visuals and you’ll be fine.

    G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is lackluster nearly across the board with nothing new or unique.
  4. Gaming Nexus

    GI Joe Rise of Cobra is a classic, addictive formula plagued by technical issues and a boring story that won't stay out of the pure simple action. Graphical bugs, stiff controls and a short campaign spoil a game that could have been as simple and fun as the guilty pleasure movie it was based on.
