    I never really watched GI Joe when I was a kid, but I'm very well aware of who the characters are. It's fair to say that I did not come into this game as a full blown fan, but more on the thought that it would just be a silly good time. The game is pretty lengthy and has a corny, Saturday cartoon storyline, but it just gets boring so soon and so fast. It runs fine on the Switch I guess, and I have played this on the go when I travel on hour plus long trips; and I must say playing in small doses is fine. I guess my problem is is that the overall experience is just plain and dull. There's nothing disastrous about this game, just don't lead into it expecting to get blown away.

    For a 90's teen gaming with a nephew these classic remakes are always fun.

    The game was pretty fun, art style was great and the game play was okay as well. Can still use a bit of an upgrade on the game play mechanics by either introducing a cover base system or having the characters move a bit quicker.

    G.I. JOE Operation Blackout for Nintendo Switch is really cool and easy to play and full of nostalgic callbacks to the 1980s edition of the franchise. While not full of depth, the game is still a great option for my sons who love it.

    It's a good budget game. Gameplay is straight from 10 years ago and there's nothing wrong with that. Looks good enough on Switch and offers a decent campaign

    Good game, but not great. Little development time put into this game. Seems more like a money grab.

    If you loved G.I. Joe as a kid, then there is no reason to not get this. Overall game is ok, but as with most beat em ups, is better with a friend.

    A little slow to start. Over all fun but not too crazy. Worth $15 for sure.

    My nostalgia got the better of me. The game is very generic. Aiming is a real issue with this game. I feel like the game is incomplete and in need of a patch or two. I soon realized the game had some of the worst reviews of the year. I don't care about game reviews, so I purchased it, but the reviewers were spot on.

    Great game, I bought this game as a Christmas gift for my nephew and he loves it. It's funny because he doesn't know GI Joe like I do. We played this game all night.
