G.I. Joe Game On the Way

Posted by Soulskill on from the evidently-we-need-to-fight-the-other-half-of-the-battle dept.

Electronic Arts has revealed that they are developing a G.I. Joe video game that will be launched alongside the G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra movie later this year. According to the announcement, the game "picks up where the live-action movie leaves off, allowing players to re-create and re-live the greatest moments from the film, cartoon series and action figure toy line." The game is planned for the PS2, PS3, PSP, mobile devices, Xbox 360, Wii, and DS. EA confirmed that there would be a co-op mode, but it's unknown whether there will be an online component.

    True to the cartoon series, the game will equip players with M-16s that fire lasers color-coded by which side the player is fighting for. No more running around scrounging for ammo, as players will start with an infinite supply. EA and Hasbro have also co-developed a unique auto-aim function, which guarantees that you'll always miss human targets, and their new patented Insta-Bail System ensures crew survival during tank and air battles.

    Rated E for everyone!
