Nintendo Now writes: "Handheld translations often get the short end of the stick. No surprise. 90% of handheld games (especially on the DS) are terrible anyways. The games look and feel like they were made on the cheap. There is no spark or imagination to be found anywhere. This is certainly the case with G.I. Joe for the DS. It looks like the kind of game you would see ten years ago. The graphics are boring and digitized. The character designs are non-existent with the top-down perspective (throwback to games like Ikari Warriors) and the game's approach is to blow as much stuff up as you can for about four or five hours. That said, at least the game isn't nearly as bad as its superior-looking counterparts on the consoles."

MEGamers writes: "Guns, explosions, testosterone, and bad guys – these are the only things that come to mind when I think of the cartoon "G.I.Joe". Having watched that show during my younger years, I was excited when a movie based on the franchise came to cinemas this year. Sadly, the movie turned out to be a complete waste of time and an over-the-top production of a much cherished show. So naturally when the video game was released, I wasn't expecting anything great either, and sure enough I had little joy playing this title."
Gamez writes: "Yo Joe! Your mission is as follows: walking through a dozen levels in four different environments, shooting at anything loose and stuck it to the end and try to keep up. Small tip: take your finger off the trigger any time."
