GameGrinAlana DunitzSep 20249/10G.I. JOE: Wrath of Cobra is the 2D arcade beat-'em-up game your inner child wanted. Who doesn't want to feel like they are in an episode of a cartoon with their friends?

God is a GeekSean SmithSep 20248/10G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is a good-looking, great sounding slice of old school action that fans will really enjoy.

WayTooManyGamesLeonardo FariaSep 20248/10Even if it doesn’t feel right as a timed PC exclusive, G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is certainly one of the most impressive licensed titles to be released in a while. A fast-paced and responsive beat ’em up oozing charm and replayability, it will not only please people who grew up watching the cartoon, but anyone willing to spend an hour or two playing a traditional, but highly competent multiplayer brawler. I just hope the developers and publisher announce a handful of console ports soon enough.

TheSixthAxisAdrian BurrowsNov 20243/10G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is a total and complete waste of a classic license. Avoid the unrelenting pull of the nostalgia tractor beam and give this one a miss.

ZTGDTerrence JohnsonOct 20245/10As I said before, in the year of our Lord 2024 the fact that THIS is the G.I. Joe game that we get just feels bad. While G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra isnt a terrible game, its not a very fun one to interact with. From floaty combat to its subpar boss battles, I couldn’t help but think that this game was capable of so much more. Even with unlockable content to chase adding some replayability to the game, the real question is if gamers or even fans should bother playing this one at all.
