    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.

    Whilst G.I. Joe will never make it as a General it will be remembered for its charm and explosions!

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

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

    This game is almost as ugly and unpolished as it's console counterparts. It just happens to be the lesser of the five or six evils.

    Difficult to navigate maps, poor collision detection, and boorish level design leads this to be a game to pass on in the end.

    The combination of a dull story, repetitive gameplay, drab environments and no innovation to speak of is a recipe for disaster in my opinion.
