Sadly the Rise of Cobra only has three, and once you go inside a Cobra base, everything looks and feels exactly the same, it much easier to fall asleep.Voice ""Acting"": I'll give you an example of how bad the voice acting in G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra can get.At one point the team is heading for the North Magnetic Pole, and Dennis Quaid's nice bell ross General Hawk has this to say: ""Not the North Pole where Santa works."" Simple, cheesy dialog, that makes perfect sense, unless you put the emphasis on the word 'works' instead of 'Santa'.
' Now it sounds like the concept of Santa goes over really well at the true North Pole but just doesn't fly with the Magnetic Pole community.Santa works! The game's voice acting does not.I wasn't really expecting all that much from G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and it seems I was completely justified in doing so.If EA and Double Helix had shortened the game and tossed it up on the PlayStation Network or Xbox Live Arcade, perhaps one bell ross adding online co-op in the process, this would have made for an entertaining download.As a full game, even one released at $10 below normal retail, it simply isn't worth it.
G.I.Joe regularly saves the world from terrorist threats that would see it reduced to rubble, but they couldn't save G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra from being as exciting as an un-altered public service announcement.G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra was developed by Double Helix Games and published by EA for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox seiko, Wii, and PSP.Retails for $49.99 (360, PS3, Wii), $39.99 (PSP), and $29.99 (PS2).Played the Xbox 360 version.Played the game to completion on the default difficulty.""Hey Billy! I'm confused by Kotaku's reviews! Let's set this cat on fire.
