G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

About

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a first-person shooter built around the 2009 movie's story. You play as Duke and Scarlett across five levels set in the Arctic, Egypt, a jungle, and a volcanic base. Missions involve rescuing captured allies, battling Cobra forces, and taking down key villains like the Baroness and Destro. The DS's Control Stick handles movement while the touchscreen aims, letting you shoot enemies and trigger explosions in real time. Each level mixes combat and light platforming, with objectives tied to advancing the plot. The game sticks closely to the film's events, offering a straightforward campaign with minimal side content. Its use of the DS hardware feels dated now but was solid for its time. While not a critical standout, reviews were mixed, it delivers a direct, action-focused experience for fans of the IP. Single-player only, with no online features.
