Rambo III (The Hit Squad)

Take the role of John Rambo again and tuck in [Er, that would be 'roll', Roger - Ed]. Level one of this tromp-around-shoot-'em-up is viewed-from-above maze where you must shoot opponents, collect objects, solve simple puzzles and save Colonel Trautman from his Afghanistan captors. Level two is the escape from the fort and the journey overland through enemy territory.

Prime the bombs to blow up the fort then make your escape by helicopter. The third and final level places you in command of a tank. Using an on-screen crosshair you must clear the screen of opposition as you trundle your way to freedom and victory.

Rambo III is a smart looking game, but might prove a little dull, even for the bandanna and rocket launcher brigade.

Frame Rate

The graphics are fine and the gameplay bearable but there's nothing really interesting here. There are much better games of similar ilk.
