    G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout is a Third-Person Run-N-Gun Shooter based on the Hasbro Toy Line and 80's Cartoon. You play along 17 story levels from both the G.I.Joe and Cobra teams. You get to play as 12 Classic Characters, six members of each side! As far as story goes, this is another episode from the 80's with playable gun battles between story elements.

You play along 17 story levels from both the G.I.Joe and Cobra teams. You get to play as 12 Classic Characters, six members of each side! As far as story goes, this is another episode from the 80's with playable gun battles between story elements. The story is presented to you with moving comics that feel reminiscent of the cartoon. Fans of the series will recognize a host of characters and locations. As far as game play, G.I. Joe didn't bring anything really new to the table. Each of the dozen characters have their own starting weapon, and special skill, but anyone can use any weapon, and the skills aren't game-changing. Likewise the levels fell like they're right out of the show, but some get used repeatedly, the levels that stood out were the longer tank runs, though either side you were on you drove the same tank with a Joe or Cobra paint-job, and the series has dozens of different vehicles to chose from. The sound effects felt like they were plucked from the show. Overall unless you're a fan of the franchise, and already invested in the universe, this title may not impress you, and fans will love it for it's nostalgia.… Expand

    G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout is a too generic shooter with serious problems that hinder its playability. Only recommended for hardcore Hasbro fans.

    G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout on Xbox One has an audience, but I can't imagine it's a very big one. The title is perfectly serviceable but there are so many options that are of higher quality and more worthy of your time that it’s tricky to want to get involved here. However if you are a fan of this franchise, it will be a fun romp through the world of G.I. Joe; something which is perhaps all it was ever trying to be in the first place.

    I am pleasantly surprised coming out of G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout after playing through the 17 story missions multiple times. Once you gather the controls it’s a simple game with decent visuals and audio that can entertain you for hours. I wish the game offered more than local co-op only but those with friends should be able to enjoy it together cooperatively and competitively.
