1up has posted their summer round-up of all video games with movie tie-ins. One of them is the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra video game by Electronic Arts. Here is some of what they had to say:

How closely does the game follow the movie? This third-person shooter is actually a sequel to the movie that draws upon more GI Joe sources (comics, cartoons, etc.). So while the character likenesses are based on the movie (until you unlock more costumes), the rest of the game is more of a nostalgia yarn rather than a digital Cliffs Notes of the movie.

Our opinion? We're not big fans of either treatment (our dream GI Joe game is essentially a reskinned Battlefield-style game), but we give the nod to the game for now. Mostly because it's already stepping away from the movie, and the easy-to-play nature plus the co-op has the potential to make it as newbie friendly as a Lego Insert-Franchise-Here title.

Will this game go beyond just being a run of the mill, movie tie-in game, and provide countless hours of fun? We'll find out in just a few months!
