After an absence of 20 years, Sylvester Stallone's "John Rambo" comes back to the screen. If you have any hostility in you, after 80 minutes of watching this, it should be gone. If you enjoy a good action movie and don't care if it gets a little gross in spots, this is your cup of tea.in spades. However, if you are the least bit squeamish about bloody violence, you better skip this movie. "Rambo Gets A Conscience" could be another title to this movie. There actually was a small story with a decent message about making your life stand for something. I know it sounds like some dumb Texas Chainsaw Massacre-type thing, but it wasn't despite the mayhem. I've never seen so many heads blown off, limbs blasted away with blood spurting out and holes blasted in the middle of chests and stomachs in one movie in my life.and it's only 81 minutes long! (The last dozen minutes are ending credits.) Man, this is almost non-stop action and suspense/ Yeah, a bunch of it is overdone but overall, it still was an entertaining movie. ![]() Hey, I knew it was going to be a tough, adventure story but this was a shock. I found a way to reconfigure the game (simply delete the CONFIG.DAT file and when you run the game you can configure your graphic card, your sound device and the controls: mouse, joystic, keyboard).Take the first 20 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" - with soldiers limbs being shot off at the D-Day landing at Omaha Beach, add some magnificent jungle scenery and action a la "Tears Of The Sun, and put it all in " Blackhawk Down" mode with gunfire dominating the film.and you have the latest Rambo movie. If you are a more strategy-simulation type, this is probably not for you. If you like the movies and the action, give it a try. In my opinion, this game is really fun and should occupy you for hours if you are a serious player. In terms of learning curve: the average gamer should find the game a bit difficult in the beginning, but the interface is quite easy to understand. But in the end, this game is very clever and advanced for its age. The interface can seem weird at first, but you usually get the hang of it pretty fast.Īll in all, Rambo III deserves a 4 rating, because of the funky controls and how unrealistic the weapons are. Also, I found myself often getting “stuck” in nooks and crannies in the furniture and so forth (I guess Rambo is too beefy to get through the doorways!). Graphics: exceedingly good for the year 1989: 256 colors, relatively small pixels.Ĭontrols: probably the only bad thing about this game, but if you are used to old action games, unlike me, you should do just fine: mouse to move around, click to shoot or stab, spacebar to check inventory and choose items. And that is pretty much it, concerning plot and game play.Ĭompatibility: works just fine with Dosbox. The game is surprisingly creative with its objects, such as you can collect bones to throw at the dogs, and find night-vision glasses and so forth. But anyway, you make your way through the castle meeting lots of resistance, including enemies such as attack dogs and so forth. How a shirtless American commando with only a knife can stand up against several hundred angry Soviets armed with AK-47’s is any one’s guess. The game is ridiculously unrealistic, but still very fun. With the help of some Afghan freedom fighters, you are smuggled into the fortress, and then you are on your own. ![]() ![]() Your mission in the game is rescue your various friends, who have been captured by the sinister Soviets (ah, the most durable of all game villains) and are being held hostage in an Afghani Fortress. It proves very faithful to the third movie in that it involves that age-old chunky commando, John Rambo, and his adventures in Afghanistan. Rambo III is a top-down shoot-em-up based off the old Rambo movies of the 80’s.
