from Ars Technica:

G.I. Joe is one of those franchises that's been around for longer than most people realize. Though many younger gamers probably aren't familiar with the history of the toy line, many of us grew up in the 1980s watching the cartoon series and playing with Hasbro's action figures. After having spent some time checking out EA's upcoming tie-in to G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, I can honestly say that this is a game that will bank a great deal on the nostalgia many of us have for the 80s cartoon, though whether or not the game will be strong enough to stand on its own remains to be seen.
