Came in here for an answer to this. Shame, because even though I never got to play it, the arcade game looked badass. I think it might've been Japan only though

Hey man, this is pretty good
The guy that plays Rambo looks like a hippie with some kind of mental disorder. In other words his Stallone impression is spot on.
They must be growing whey protein in that village, because those are the healthiest Vietnamese peasants I've ever seen.

The prospects of this game were always looking bad ever since the 1st trailer came out...the time and investment put into this seems like the developers had nothing else better to do than make this "game" if you can call it that...wasted opportunity...slim chance there'd be a definitive version of Rambo for any console anytime soon..

On PS3 the game features Move support for the sliver of players who still actively care about Move, which at least partially emulates a light gun, but the Move has never made anything more fun and Rambo: The Video Game is no exception.
Bah humbug IGN I love the Move controller and I'd argue it makes lightgun games much more fun, I'll be picking this up when its a tenner.

Yeah that really sounds like the reviewer hasnt played any lightgun games on Move and didnt even bother to try this one.
And Resistance 3 was way better with Move+Navi.
Yep. Actual light guns were awesome and quite fun.
The Wii-mote and Move style pointing systems are terrible in comparison for this type of game.

Alex Navarro livestreaming it right now. Thinks the aiming is sludgy, so others are definitely not alone in that being not so good.

That headshot fail QTE attempt on Rambo's face getting REKT pretty much made the game for me. I want to try it. For research.
haha
Oh god, I have no idea why, but that picture is making me nauseous, like in my eyeballs.
Is it possible to throw up out your eyes? Because I seriously feel like it's about to happen.

He must be playing with a controller because with a mouse, it's spot on imo.

Rambo threw up when he realized he was in this game.

Im compelled to buy this. It's like punching yourself in the dick - I know it's going to hurt, but I can't stop doing it.

I could see buying it when it's on sale for like $10 just to experience the awfulness. But for $40? No way.
Nope! The Namco arcades in London have a Rambo cabinet. They really should've just ported that, but I assume it has license problems because of the movie clipsCame in here for an answer to this.

$10? Son if Aliens: CM can go as low as $5, you can bet the game can go as low as that in coming weeks if not months.
...unless it gets delisted due to license expiry or something.

Well they use audio clips ripped straight from the movies in the game. Guess that's cheaper? lol

When this gets to £10, I am buying it.

Something tells me Dan Whitehead didn't actually watch First Blood...
Or Part 2.
I read this game is the second coming of Christ. Is that true?
in game sequence:
I love this film. Is it deemed a cult classic now cos I still find it funny even 20+ years on.
Something tells me Dan Whitehead didn't actually watch First Blood...
Yeah this really fucking irked me too. Hell I enjoy all the Rambo films but the sequels are silly action films I have fun with whilst First Blood is a wonderful complicated tale about a haunted man suffering from PTSD only to be treated like shit when he returns. Especially by small town hicksville sheriffs wankers. One of the best films of Slys career and of the 80s. Even the sequels at least tried to say something during the period of 80s action films, for example Rambo First Blood Part 2 commenting on men still being held captive in Vietnam that the government had no interest in rescuing/getting back.
Just finished it. First two acts, especially the second was really great, but the third is even worse than the film. The last mission is the most unbalanced mission I have ever seen in a videogame. Period. I was stuck for 40 minutes and a 3 minute section. Yes, its THAT bad. (i smashed part of my keyboard during the process... http://i.imgur.com/HH4q0xY.jpg). Other than the dated graphics (which is totally fine, i don't need crysis 3 graphics) its a solid rail shooter. If anyone just wants to watch, I have recorder all three "campaigns".

Here is my video review on Rambo: The Videogame. Not a bad light gun shooter, but only caters to those that enjoy those games.
I have a video review coming some time this weekend, but I thought I'd put some thoughts down here.
I really don't know what to think of Rambo:The Video Game. It's both one of the worst, and best games I've played.
Seriously, even though the graphics are dated, the levels are pretty short, and the sound is spotty in places, it's strangely
likeable, maybe due to it being much like the Time Crisis games. I could see it being very enjoyable if it had light-gun support.
In terms of graphics, it's all over the place. Rambo himself seems to have about three or four different character models.
The in-game model isn't too bad, and at the very least, it's recognizable as Rambo, if not the prettiest 3d model. However, the model
used in the Skills and Perks screen, looks... off, like they got an intern to remodel his face. It looks like Jason Statham cosplaying as
Rambo.
The game is straight forward light-gun shooter fare. You have a cover system straight out of Time Crisis, and for some reason, the
active reload system from Gears of War. The length of levels varies wildly. One of the levels, based off the scene from First Blood when
Rambo breaks free from the Hope Police Station, is literally only about just over a minute long, and consists of about 14 QTE's, and nothing
else.
The sound is pretty spotty. Nothing overly wrong about the gun sounds, which all sound powerful enough, but the voice acting, ripped
straight from the original voice tracks of the films, sounds more like they just recorded them off the DVD or something. In some cases, you
can actually hear the sound effects from the films playing in the background while they're talking. Other sound effects are okay, apart from
the sound of Rambo punching someone. The punches sound less like fisticuffs, and more like someone slapping a raw, wet, turkey.
In short, I like it, but I also don't like it. Rambo/10.

The settings. Notice the lack of resolution. The game launched in windowed mode.
