Upcoming action game to feature original voice work from Sylvester Stallone and Richard Crenna.
Reef Entertainment's upcoming Rambo: The Video Game will feature original movie voice-tracks for John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) and Col. Samuel Trautman (Richard Crenna), the publisher announced today.
Rambo: The Video Game takes place during the story arcs of movies First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Rambo III. Players will hear familiar dialogue, along with "rage-screams" and other various exclamations from the movies.
The game is due out this year for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. According to Reef, the project will be of "triple-A" quality and "capture the gritty atmosphere and full-on action which made the Rambo movies so successful."

Could be downright awful. I'm thinking Lair/Haze/Superman 64 awful.
Or it could be good. Let's hope so.
We've had a tons and tons of rambo games when yo think about it. Regardless I just imagine this being garbage.
1 Like The same company that did Sniper Elite and Rogue Trooper for the Wii. That probably gives a decent impression of what to expect.
Screams and blows up everything "Wierd Al" Yankovic style. Yep, parody based off of that First blood part 2 movie too.
I could not understand how aircraft could start after not being cared for, and start up like it was yesterday and fly, let alone guns firing. I never like the movie because of the fact that those things just don't happen in the real world. I will pass.
1 Like "HWAAAAHHH!!"....."Quick, we need 2 get 2 da choppa, NA-OWWWWWW!!" "HWAAAAH!!!" Haha, uh oh, oopssss, wrong set, LOL! XD
@c8ing I think because all these games as Rambo inspired. Rambo is like those Chuck Norris jokes...he's a complete bad ass and a one man army. When people run around rogue and dont use team tactics it's called 'Going Rambo'. John J Rambo is a fuckin icon and a good game should be given to fans as an homage to the man that started it all.
1 Like I just looked at the games they make, I would not hope for something good, not even for something decent.
"Arriving with American POW's" "Murdoch, I'M COMING TO GET YOU!!!" "When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing."
4 Like Haha find it funny they are making a game out of the first movie. That is about a seriously broken down, mentally unstable, war vet who has a psychotic break down after some dickish cops abuse him a bit. Rambo didn`t really turn into a generic action vehicle until the second film. The first film definitely had some great action but it wasn`t really great ``game`` material.
2 Like @Devil_wings00 Abuse him a bit? They stripped him and sprayed him naked w/ a water hose. What did he do wrong? They pushed him waaaay too far and they payed for it. He didn't have a breakdown, they pushed him to the limit
3 Like @Devil_wings00 Or it could be great, akin to Spec Ops the Line, a game that deals with mental meltdown.
2 Like Raaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, oh each time I'm playing a game with a big machine gun I fire in the air and scream Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooooooo, IF THEY FUCK THIS UP RAMBO WILL FIND THEM AND KILL THEM ALL, question why isn't Rambo 4 going to be also added to the game? can I know why?
5 Like It better never come out, cause it's obviously gonna be worse than Colonial Marines.
1 Like Isn't it a little too late for a Rambo game, I mean seriously... Gears of Rambo.
Maybe they will surprise me.
I often wonder why can't creators see a bad idea before they invest time and money into it.... and what' up with pimping the crap out of the past, they can't come up with new cool ideas?
Good Luck to them
@Viral-venom13 @da_chub UbiSoft and Rcokstar can make this game amazing. Look at what they did to Far Cry 3
7 Like I could have killed them. I could have killed you. Back in town, you're the law - out here it's me. Don't push it. I'll give you a war you won't believe. Don't push it. Just let it go. Let. It. Go.
11 Like You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert in guerilla warfare. With a man who's the best: with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man that's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather. To live off the land. To eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam, Rambo's job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill. Period. To win by attrition. Well Rambo was the best...
1 Like @Fursnake Yeah you're kind of right. There was a script being shopped around by Stallone before the 2008 Rambo came out that was based off a novel called "Hunter" (author was Jim Huggins I believe). It had some sci-fi elements that Rambo would have to deal with. It had a genetically altered beast in it.
