Andy from Plus XP writes: "The year is 2014, it’s the first proper year for the next-gen consoles and we are going to see games that will defy the laws of what is possible for. Stunning graphics, gripping and immersive gameplay, stories and online play that will keep you entertained for so long with their outstanding qualities……..Rambo: The Video Game doesn’t come close to satisfying any of these criteria.
I have seen the first 3 Rambo films and enjoyed them all in one way or another. This game invents bizarre new scenes, makes Rambo out to be a bad guy and also thinks he likes to stand out in the open to die!
The game takes you through 16 levels of differing length, sometimes woefully short, and they go in chronological order through the first 3 films. Actually I say that but the game features some new events never-before-seen. For instance, the first level sees you escaping Vietnam in a ludicrous prologue mission."
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!
