Wow, i checked the homepage at exactly the right time.
Anywho, i can't believe the game outshitted the movie in quality.
And i think Angry Joe would make a great Joe. I'd love to see him in a PSA.

Yeah, I am really not going to pick up a game with the catchphrase "Real AMERICAN Hero".

08.12.2009 - 06:12 | AngryJoeShow - Dont Hate!
Still pissed off we kicked your ass in The American Revolution eh? Or maybe saving your ass in WWII?
hahha, just messin with ya man. I love the brits. In fact more Uk'ers support the angry joe show in actual donations that the americans ever have. Odd. But for that, I almost had you guys win the battle in my Empire Total War Video (but that would have tore a hole in the space time continuum).I wanna get me a hot blonde brit chick, can you kidnap one and ship special delivery to Texas please? Make sure shes beautiful, at least a 9/10.

Does it annoyingly catch your attention to hear "YOOOOOO JOOOOEEE!" behind you?
Could be worse, my name starts with sp, so every time I hear any kind of whispering it sounds like they're talking about me. sppspspsps.

Given how godawful the movie was, the game being horrible was a forgone conclusion.
Good review none the less.

Heh, awesome review as always, Joe.
Yeah, I thought Cobra Commander looked pretty dumb. But that didn't really retract me from the movie. What did you think about it?

I enjoyed the Movie, more so than my fans apparently:
My Full Review and why It was a Wild Ride filled with battles, battles and more battles - LAND SEA and AIR!
http://angryjoeshow.com/?p=5567
Joe Rating: 8/10
Angry Community: 5.7/10Come on it had underwater "space battles"!
Not every movie has to be a profound drama, some can be a explosion cheese fest and still accomplish what it set out to do.
-

I have to admit, that though some parts of the movie I felt were a little cheesy, the battles I felt really was the best part and made it seem like a G.I. Joe movie to me.
So I would give it a 7/10, if I can steal your rating system.

'cos the spoony one it's always playing with platic figure on his reviews. Well not all but in some he does

Spoony's propensity for playing with action figures in some of his reviews. ^_~

Is it just me or does cobra commander sound like skeletor? Dundundun! Could they be the sme person!?!? Is that why cobra commander wears that mask?

The Cobra Commander picture at 08:30 is the same one I use for my youtube account as CobraCommanderNLD

Yeah. I think I'm going to have to pass on this game. Even if I was looking forward to it. I have Transformers the movie game for the Wii and it's okay.
I'm guessing the wii version of this game would be just as horrible.
Sigh. Is it me or has it been a weird movie season?
-
08.12.2009 - 01:46 | cookiemonster
Aw, thought you'd be doing a video review of the movie instead. I knew the game would blow, as you said, developers are always rushed to get their product out in time with the movie.
-
08.12.2009 - 02:02 | Fluffyman
Funny considering EA has actually had made effort into their movie-licensed games in the past, that they decided to completely half-ass this one.
-
08.12.2009 - 02:38 | Trencher - Thanks for saving me some money.
I was going to buy this game but not if it sucks this bad.
-
08.12.2009 - 02:45 | Shinigami
Funny review. From some reason there is not many good movie lisence games and reason might be one that you mentioned. That they just have to get game out no matter what.
-
08.12.2009 - 03:09 | GLKnight - You messed up
Cobra never fired blue and green beams. The Joe's did.
Also, when I saw the "Commander" figurine, I thought that was Destro, and when you did the Cobra Commander voice, I was all "WTF?!"
Yeah. Thank god District 9 opens this weekend. Something good to wash out the Bad Taste of the GI Joe movie.
-
08.12.2009 - 05:59 | AngryJoeShow
I knew someone would bring that up - I actually did research before I did the effects on what color they were then I stopped and said WHAT THE F*CK AM I DOING. Then I added whatever colors I wanted.
LoL. Give me a break.
Also, EFF ya, District 9 is the sleeper hit of 2009, you will see!

Joe, you that hated the Terminator game should be happy to hear that the studio who made it has extreme economic struggles and had to shut down two of there studios. Seems like we won't get anymore GRAWs in the future

Hey, Joe, was that a song from Battalion Wars before and after the G.I. Joe cinematic? The bell sounded familiar.
-
08.12.2009 - 06:01 | AngryJoeShow
No, thats our own theme. Its not from a game, I believe it was apart of a soundtrack composer program not sure.
-
08.12.2009 - 03:42 | Pie3492 - Nice Joe.
Awesome review!
I loved the opening scene.
It is the funneh!I love toys.
They are so cool!
(Although it was pretty Spoony-ish, but it's your own style. : D)
-
08.12.2009 - 06:02 | AngryJoeShow
Why the hell are people saying its spoonyish?
This is the same kinda crap that happens with AVGN vs other game reviewers. Do you guys think Spoony was the first one to play with toys on camera? LoL.
Good lord.

08.12.2009 - 03:49 | Batboyexe
does that cheat Cobra Commander said works?
what? the way I see it, that would make the game a bit better.

ANGRY JOEEEEEEEEEEEE
BAD ASS SONG!I actually tried something like this, but I couldn't sing worth a damn, so I just went with the normal theme with my overlay on it.
-
08.12.2009 - 04:23 | Phelous
Wow Joe you have Cobra commander calling you! That's pretty sweet, even if it was a wrong number.
I'm glad you mentioned how bad Movie Commander looks.
-
08.12.2009 - 06:04 | AngryJoeShow
I have a feeling this isnt the last we've seen of him.
I know right, WTF. Why does hollywood have to EFF with something that was already perfect? Some directors go too far to try to make things "their own".

Hey, kids, remember that time when M. Bison was a white guy in a suit?
-
08.12.2009 - 08:55 | Batboyexe
Or when Superman looked like Super Boy
(he wasn't a bad actor, he just looked too young.

when ever Resolute comes out on dvd its going on my shelf in place of both the new movie and this game...
G.I.JOE more like B.A.SHMO
very good Cobra Commander voice Joe. lol even 'his' plan was perfectly in character.
5 stars

That annoying thing I noticed, this goes with your mini-toy review there Joe, was that for some unknown reason Cobra Commander's toy helmet is almost completely transparent while the moive made it look pretty soild.
-
08.12.2009 - 06:06 | AngryJoeShow
Its possible that they changed the design.
The original movie toy (which is now rare) has tubes going from his chest to his head. Apparently pumping chest juice into his skull or brain juice into his chest I dont know - but it was even more fail than this version.
You can find these images still on google.

dude, Doing is the other half of the battle. If you don't do crap about what you know, then you'll never win.
Here try it with me now. when someone shouts "KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!" shout "YEA? AND DOING IS THE OTHER HALF!"
it would have been really funny if they showed that part in those commercials.
kid:now I know.
G.I. Joe: and knowing is half the battle.
kid:...but I'm going to go ahead and play in this dangerous construction area anyway.
G.I. Joe: but... now you know..
Kid: so? Doesn't mean I want to stop.
