G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra released early this month on Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii,
and Nintendo DS! The game is an old-school 3D shooter with fast-paced arcade
action. If you haven't had a chance to pickup the game yet we decided to
highlight some of the features and give you a taste of the gameplay.
There are twelve unlockable Joes along with four Cobra villains. Each
character has their own unique weapon and special attack, which can prove
valuable depending upon the mission.
Each of the characters will fall into a different class type. Characters
classes are: heavy, combat, or commando. As characters achieve victory in
engagements throughout the game they earn ability points that allow them to
perform special abilities or earn the "Accelerator Suit". The Accelerator suit
is shown in the video below and allows Joes a pretty massive speed and damage
boost.
Here are some unique things you might enjoy about the game, a gameplay video,
and some screenshots:
Things you might like about G.I. Joe:
- Fast paced action, lots of explosions and exciting weaponry.
- Good cinematic and cut-scenes that follow the storyline from the movie.
- Unique weapon sets for each character make it easier to find something that
appeals to you.
- Two-player single-screen co-op play lets you and a friend pick your
elite G.I. JOE team and call in support from other G.I. JOE characters.
- Lots of vehicles to play from both G.I. JOE or COBRA, each very unique and
very powerful.
