Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Based on the classic line of Hasbro action figures, G.I. Joe on the NES is pretty standard run-and-gun platformer. The game plays out across a series of missions which involve shooting up a whole bunch of Cobra minions and hunting for time bombs in some seriously maze-like environments.
Each mission starts with character selection where a pre-defined squad leader and two other troopers chosen by the player get dropped in behind enemy lines; characters have their own unique weapon, plus varying levels of stamina, jumping ability and base attack power. One of the game's major features is the ability to swap between any of the three troops at any time. This allows players to take advantage of their special abilities, as well as level up their favourites to become even more potent.
Although it's not the best looking game in the NES library, the gameplay is reasonable enough. There are tons of levels to complete, so there's plenty to get your teeth into, although those levels requiring you to disarm all the bombs within the time limit can be rather frustrating, especially later levels which feature numerous fake walls and pieces of scenery. If you're a fan of the toys and enjoy games like Ninja Gaiden, this might be up your alley.

Man, I don't know who did the soundtrack for this game but it's pretty great! I also like the enemies jumping from the foreground to your plane; it's always the little touches that enhance the overall experience. Good times!

That would be Nobuyuki Shioda (Kickmaster, Low G Man) and Yusuke Takahama (Bad Dudes, Heavy Barrel). Interestingly enough, Takahama went on to be semi-famous and even did a few tracks for Super Smash Bros Brawl! Awesome soundtrack all around to be sure!

@@barvobot The Fact YOU Know both of them prove that they're prett well known (to some fans at least). Definitively coo to know who are the people behind things we do enjoy. Those guys are legit talented musicians & artists.

[@sockpuppet4716]

Damn, this looks top notch for an NES game. If it had an original IP then maybe it would be as well known today as the Contra games.
