    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.

    Whilst G.I. Joe will never make it as a General it will be remembered for its charm and explosions!
  4. 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.
  6. 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.

    The execution is rather lackluster. [Sept 2009, p.90]
  8. A few bright spots prove that this clumsy, unsatisfying film tie-in could have been much better.
