GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is based on the 2009 blockbuster film, but it features an entirely new plot in which an elite group of warriors must battle the ruthless Cobra Commander and prevent his organization, known as Cobra, from taking over the planet. The gameplay is similar to Neo Contra in that the player employs a variety of weapons, including machine guns, rocket launchers, and the Delta 6 Accelerator Suit, which makes the player invulnerable for a limited time. The player must use numerous weapons and accessories to fight through a swarm of enemies, including troops, tanks, jet fighters, and the standard end-of-level monsters. The player can select one of 12 different Joes. Still, only a limited set at first, with more unlocking as missions are completed, each with their weapon and strengths based on rank (Commandos are great at close range, Heavy Weapons are good at long distance shooting, and Soldiers are a mix of both), as well as using various vehicles scattered throughout the stages. The game also has a two-player drop-in/drop-out co-op option that allows a friend to join fun at any time, but if no human ally is present, the computer’s A.I. will take over for the second on-screen soldier.
