I would love to try this.  Looks like a fun time.

I played it at Dave and Busters two weeks ago.  It's a two player shooting game for Rambo fans.

It jumps from scenes from the Rambo movies back to the game with a narrator explaining what's going on.  Most of it is cheezy and some of it is just dumb, like when he says "Rambo must enter the camp alone to save Col. What's His Name", it's a two player game and the second player is suppose to be Col. What's His Name, so if your player two you're saving yourself.

All and all it's a fun game and since I haven't been to an arcade-ish place in 10+ years and Rambo was the only game in D&B that they didn't have 10 years ago we played it until we solved it.



Off topic, D&B was packed which was nice to see, but it was sad to see that after 10+ years arcade games haven't advanced at all.

ya arcade is dead, more money in pc and console now.

i remember when the graphics in teh arcade was to be lusted over compared to what you could get on your home console..

i'd say playstation was probably the turning point where you could get as good if not better then arcade at home and that was the nail in the coffin.

when i heard midway killed their coin op division it was truly over for me.

redemption games started taking over the place, pinball and skeeball are probably the only 2 games that can still hold up since how many people have those at home? and the cut down cheap home versions of those just plain suck.

I played Rambo last month.  I didn't think it was very fun.  Definitely cheesy.

Right next to it was Namco's new Razing Storm.

Oh.

Mah.

Gawd.

Razing Storm is unbelievably awesome.

I've seen two different versions of this cab.  The DX seems to use Uzis while the SD cab uses far more comfortable to hold Ghost Squad style MP5 like thingies.  I'd opt for the MP5.  My hand get tired holding pistol type weapons.

Now, this Namco Razing Storm interests me.  It runs on the 357 which is PS3 based arcade hardware.  Maybe we'll actually see this game on PS3 at home and there will FINALLY be a second Guncon 3 game. :/
