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 provides a worthy follow-up to the plot of the movie, if skimping on a few essential areas of presentation and variety to do so.
-
AceGamezWhilst G.I. Joe will never make it as a General it will be remembered for its charm and explosions!
-
This game lacks fun after one hour of playtime. Beware of this title.
-
This is a mediocre game who tries to make the most of the movie premiere and sell as much copies as possible.
-
At the end of the day the mindless run and gun action should please some fans, but lack of depth and gameplay issues make this game a tough one to recommend. That being said, fans of top down shooters may want to take a closer look.

Nintendo PowerThe execution is rather lackluster. [Sept 2009, p.90]
-
A few bright spots prove that this clumsy, unsatisfying film tie-in could have been much better.
-
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is lackluster nearly across the board with nothing new or unique.
-
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.
-
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.
-
With better character abilities, less (make that way less) story sequences and improved multiplayer options, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra could've been a movie tie-in to be proud of. Instead, it deserves a dishonorable discharge.
-
Difficult to navigate maps, poor collision detection, and boorish level design leads this to be a game to pass on in the end.
-
Nintendo GamerIt's not worth your time and money. [Nov 2009, p.72]
-
You'd be better off ignoring G.I. Joe on the DS entirely and just seeing the movie instead, which I understand is awesome. The game, obviously, does not follow suit.
-
The combination of a dull story, repetitive gameplay, drab environments and no innovation to speak of is a recipe for disaster in my opinion.
