Game Informer has reviewed Rambo: The Video Game and writes:
If you want to watch John Rambo mow through waves of baddies in violent and satisfying fashion, watch the final half hour of the 2008 film. Don’t spend your money and time to recreate any moments in this cheap, broken wreck.
Movie tie-ins were a staple of the video game industry not too long ago. Only within the last few years, movie studios figured out that unless you can commit the finances and time to make a good game, a movie tie in could do more harm for the brand than good. Game Guider Oscar Giggins takes a look at the top 3 best and worst movie tie-in games and looks at what made them either a memorable part of gaming history or a notorious mistake destined for the trash.

PP: A while back there was a Rambo game released for PS3 that used the PS Move. It didn’t go down too well with most who played it, so we’re actually quite surprised to be sat here writing that it’s getting a free DLC update tomorrow in the form of Baker Team.
That's incredibly bizarre but okay... I guess that's great for the three masochists who still play it!
Did we seriously expect anything different? The trailer for this was just absymal.
So Lords of Shadow 2 is only slightly better than this flaming pile of crap?
Right. Thats believable.
A 4? You have got to be kidding me.
I am sure that it was spawned by a demon's diarrhea in the deepest depth of hell with Rambo's name on it...and I am just being generous!
This review, their LOS2 review with Rambo:the videogame have the same quality.
