    G.I. Joe is very iffy at times, but it is a decent game that will grow on you.

    Although G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is not one of the best action games in the Wii library, it is a fun and enjoyable title, specially with two players.

    It's definitely be created for the fans of the series, however for someone wanting a truly memorable and fun gaming experience, this is not the game.

    A dumb, frustrating and forgettable shooter, but a completely unpretentious one too. [Nov 2009, p.64]

    An awful game based on a mediocre action-movie. Gets dull very soon and has too many glitches.
