    Whether it was the boss design, the life count, or a handful of glitches, I kept hitting roadblocks during my playthrough. As much as I might enjoy certain characters or gameplay elements, I still struggled with this one. I had fun slogging my way to the last stage, sure. But the thought of playing enough to unlock everything fills me with terrible dread. G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra might be for franchise fans more than anyone interested in another beat ’em up.

    G.I. Joe Wrath of Cobra delivers a neat nostalgia trip for beat em' up lovers, but fails to provide anything worthwhile for the mainstream audience. It falls behind other old-school competitors in the genre due to its poor enemy and stage variety, but is solid fun for a popcorn game with some friends.

    A half decent brawler brought low by numerous bugs and technical difficulties.

    G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is definitely a functional beat'em up and, for a while, quite fun, even though it is extremely generic. It uses all the main conventions of the genre, but it is mediocre and poorly works its laughable story, it is tiring and repetitive, especially when playing in single-player and unfortunately it takes little advantage of the foundation of the franchise that lends it its title.
