Rambo: The Game On-Rails FPS Announced

Posted on July 20, 2013 at 12:34 pm

Not because the 80s have gamers been ready to step into the shoes of the enduring John Rambo. Even then, the 1985 Commodore 64 game Rambo and Rambo for the NES didn’t inspire a similar form of reverence Sylvester Stallone‘s movie character did. Now, with decades of the game industry full of the kind of stealth and over-the-top shooter experiences that appear perfect for the Rambo character, one publisher is finally taking a possibility at the franchise.

Reef Entertainment this week released a primary look trailer for the imminent Rambo: The Online game . It sort of feels the sport would be a “fixed perspective” first-person shooter, meaning it will become on rails kind of like arcade games similar to The home of the Dead or Area 51. Unfortunately, the visuals appear to match the archaic game design:

The game is predicated at the first three Rambo movies – First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Rambo III. Reef promises “shoot-outs, stealth killings, demolition, knife-play, and more,” though the trailer doesn’t adequately show how these will fit into gameplay. No matter its quality, Rambo: The Online game would be headed to both consoles and PC sometime this winter.
