NOTE: I didn't buy this game due to it being criticized a lot before it came out. At least i my friend was one of the only ones to pre-order this game, so when he tried it, he lent it to me. Rest assured, i'll try to be the most positive as i can, as this game may seem as the next Day One: Garry's Incident, but it surely isn't.
Games that look suckish when they are firstly announced, usually come in a big package, wiyh improved gameplay, graphics engine etc. Rambo: TVG is a clear example of the opposite. The developers (Teyon and Reef studios, two rookie developement studios) have shown that they have indeed watched Rambo movies, but only when they had to.
PRESENTATION
The most likely thing to happen is something from the movie, but in this game that fails too. Sure, the beginning is a bit better explained, but why do other things happen, you might never find out. You're Rambo, a commandos in Vietnam who kills about 120 Vietnamese soldiers in one level. The entire level structure is bogus, soldiers just come in and shoot, and yes, they miss. PC gamers will have way more advantage. I used my mouse and 95% of my kills were headshots, not to mention because the soldiers just stand in one place not giving a damn about you blowing their heads off. I also forgot to mention that Rambo: TVG is a rail shooter with neat transition mechanics that would go great with an Android OS game (Gun Club 3 for ex.). Practically, you can just see some movement without any jumping over obstacles, just soft flying through the air (if you understand me). Voice acting is good, the lip syncing is, obviously, not. Voice acting is great because the devs took the voices from the movie and put them into the game, and boy, do they sound awful, absolutely no effort whatsoever in rendering those voices into being HQ. At least i did find some levels amusing, until they ended, which was a common thing. The campaign barely lasts for 5-6 hours, and those are only just shooting enemies with headshots with true ease. During every level, you use the same elememtary and secondary, there's no way to pick up other's guns. However, it's not like you have no choice, at the beginning of every level, you choose which guns you will carry. I also found amusing the blood splash due to enemy soldiers exploding on critical hits. Whenever you kill a significant amount of enemies, you reach a so called 'Rambo mode' in which you gain 1/4 of your current health bar by killing an enemy WITH AN INSTA-KILL.
GRAPHICS
The game runs on a so called 'Potato Engine (3)', and it looks bad, very bad. It's also weird that, in order to play this game, you need DirectX10 support, a Core 2 Duo processor with 2.83 GHz of strenght and a 512 MB GPU! It's bullocks! The entire game looks awful, plays averagelly and still needs a strong PC!? Best PC optimization 2014!
MULTIPLAYER
Brick.
THE VERDICT
Rambo: The video game is a rare example of stupidity among the game developers. The game gets the hate, we ruin it more. I give this game a 4/10 because it simply does have exploding soldiers in both slow-mo and normal-mo and because i find rail shooters amusing for some weird reason. For more reviews, check out my blog. Laters.
