Better play with your action figures

G.I.Joes will always become a reminder of the fact that I was a little kid once. I remember how fun it was to play with friends with real (as opposed to today's virtual) toys. The game topped my "to play" list even though the movie sucked badly. Two weeks ago i got my cartridge. And I am disappointed.
I am absolutely sure the game was created only for money. It looks like nobody really cared if it sucks or kicks ass - it's just a part of this huge machinery (movie, toys etc.). The controls are terrible - you can hardly do anything as you really want. Graphics - nothing outsending, I may even say below average. Story - OK, but sometimes kills the playing. Audio - OK. Everything is average and/or below average. Multiplayer is fun, BUT when you have three G.I.Joe fans playing G.I.Joe game this is obvious.
Anyways, the game kept me busy for a weekend, but i'd rather sell it then save it. It's plain, sometimes stupid and was created with "profits not gamers" attitude.
You might actually like it, it is (sometimes) likeable, but you better try it before you buy it.
