Rambo The Video Game /PS3

Yes, I am a huge Rambo/Stallone/ACTION fan. But, if you weren't, would you be here reading this? The game is an arcade style rail shooter. So, most of the bad reviews that are being written, people are playing the game with the analog controller. They are dragging around a cross hair with a control stick. Let me assure you that this was the "secondary" method of play and only if it is the only way you can play it. Then, I say skip it. However, this game was designed with the "Playstation Move Sharp Shooter" in mind. In my mind, this should have been a "PS3 Move Sharp Shooter" exclusive. Forget the xbox and pc. Heck they did eliminate the Xbox version in the US. The blasting action is non stop. It is much more immersive and challenging with this peripheral add on. The QTE's (quick time events) act as a nice violent break from all of the RAMBO AK-47 CARNAGE since you can rest the gun to your side while performing these. I was actually upset that there WASN'T a QTE for the epic knife kill on the gun boat in Part II. It took me 6-8 hours to complete this game on EASY. The 2-4 hour completion time people are clocking themselves at is with the mouse and keyboard. No "aiming skill" at all. Lame. The graphics are my only complaint. But, REEF took a risk with this game on a restricted budget. And, we are comparing it to next gen games already. The graphics are decent enough. As a RAMBO fan, I still love playing through some of the greatest action movie moments of ALL TIME. Riddle the police station with M60 bullets? check. Ride inside the Huey for the epic bazooka battle against the Russian? yep. Shooting helicopters out of the sky with the DShK Heavy Machine Gun accompanied with epic slow motion explosions. OH YEAH. 5.1 surround sound? DO IT. Turn it to 10. Make the neighbors complain like I did. The only mistake with this game is that they should have made this game 5 years ago with the release of the Playstation peripherals. The graphics would have been above average then and the Sony would have sold more controllers. Better late than never.

While critics might hate the rambo game this is alot better than i thought it would be it does a number of nice things and plays quite well mixing up shooting and combat the one downfall is the awful continue system were after 5 failed attempts on a level you have to restart also can i just add on normal some of the missions are really tough so all in all a good effort with a few flaws

What a let down. Loved the movies and thought the game would go someway to living up to the reputation of the films. How wrong I was. Awful graphics. You can't control the characters they just hide behind trees and bushes and you pop up and out to shoot the Vietnamese. Rubbish controls. I even had to put it in easy mode and it's still. A nightmare to control.Overall I played for one hour. Tried to give it a good go but I wished I hadn't.Don't buy this game for anything more than a tender

Well what can I say. This is actually a really great game! It's non stop action and a lot of fun.. Yes I will be honest the controls are very tricky to begin with. And I would recommend starting on the easy mode. But after about 10mins of sticking with it, they become second nature! Then the game becomes real fun.. The only down side for me is that it is pretty short. I've completed it now both on easy and medium mode. Just the hard setting left to try! Don't be put off by the other reviews. Yes the graphics are very 80s. And the game has been made like the arcade games of it's time... So there you have it gamers. That's my review. Short and to the point... So If you are looking for a shooter in the style of Call of duty or Battlefield then stay away from this.. But if you are looking for agood old 80s style game. Then give this ago. You might be quite surprised!!!

this game has been ruined with very lousy controls ,even on easy difficulty to start with before trying out harder difficulties its very unplayable ,it takes ages to reload your weapon ,you run out of ammo in roughly 4 seconds and the weapon aim is so unaccurate its very hard to properly aim at an enemy ,it may be better with the playstation move controller but very much doubt it ,i cant even get past a quarter of level 1.the graphics are quite good so id say thats the games strong point and there are challenges to earn new weapons for play but you have to unlock the challenges first through story mode ,one of the ps gold trophies is to complete the game on green beret difficulty (hard) so good luck getting that one.overall its only worth playing if you have a hell of a lot of time on your hands to even try and master the crap controls and if you dont then stay well clear of it.

Not the badist game ever just not the best look I do long hour's and don't have a lot of time for games so I don't won't some fifty hour RPG I just won't a quick fix so to me its good for that and the grafics don't look ps1 like made out I would no I had one the day it came out early ps3 I would say I no its got a lot of hate but I fell its got the spirit of the films and shock to some I found it a fun game put it like this its like six pound on amazon give it a go would make a good stocking filler I can under stand not paying 40 pound for it pay 10 at the most
