This game is based on the Gauntlet engine developed for the Nintendo DS, which for various reasons did not see the light of day in a Gauntlet game. Gauntlet itself never made it out for the DS, but the engine lives on at the heart of this game. You'd think they just slapped the GI Joe stuff on there and rushed this out, but there are some surprises like driving tanks that wouldn't have an equivalent in a Gauntlet game, but I am just guessing.

It's a fun game, although getting use to the controls will reveal a small learning curve everything else is straightforward with close and long range attacks and special weaponthe only buttons you need to remember.

In short, while this kind of overhead perspective game might not be for everyone it might be for you. Do you like Gauntlet, Baldars Gate (Console version), Chaos Engine, Alien Breed and so on ? Do you like games that have a small learning curve, but once you catch on are all about running around solving simple puzzles and destroying hordes of enemies and machinery along the way? Then it's a no brainer. Otherwise you might want to check out some videos first to make sure this is for you.

Bought this item as a Christmas present. I think my nephews are going to love it!! It also was Great price!!

Pretty good game. I probably would prefer the full Wii version, but this one is pretty good.

The game is great and fun to play. My 6 year old really wanted this game for Christmas and he's had a great time playing it on his DS.

My kid says that the most impact he has received from this game is the realistic potrayal of the rifle shots and the bomb throwing! AWESOME!!!
