What We Said Then
Jaz: Well worth a look if you're into shoot 'em ups - or as Rambo would say, "mmgh rbil mrsh frbsh".
Matt: I was impressed with the general feel of the game.
What We Say Now
Jaz: Although the graphics look a bit poor by today's standards, this is still a fun game. The only problem I found was that the official version had unlimited continues which meant you could complete it easily - the Japanese version had limited continues. Graphics 79%, lastability 77% and overall 81%. The rest of the marks are fine
Rich: Yes, Rambo III does look rather dated these days, and the unlimited continues knocks the lastability rating right down. When Sega get around to adding this game to its £20 price range it'll be a bargain.
