G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. I gotta tell ya, if being a real hero in the most powerful country in the world means having a cute nickname like "Snake Eyes" sign me the hell up!

G.I. Joe, a Taxan game, is actually quite fun and challenging, if a bit absent-minded. But hey! I'm guessing the target audience was too young or rambunctious to care about a storyline or any of the in-game text.

That young innocence attitude all stops right now, though! I, Michael J., proud student reading at a 6th grade level, will shoot down G.I. Joe's flawed grammatical errors faster than you can say "Yo Joe!"

Good Morning to you too, General Hawk. The game begins dramatically enough with an objective breifing from the General. However...

ALART

If you examine closely the surroundings you'll see on the first scrolling monitor the word ALART. Alert, General, it's spelled 'alert'. And if you slowly move your eyes to the right of the monitor to the next thin screen you'll see ARART.

Now, you have the right to call me nitpicky by calling the developers out with 'alart'--it could have been a rushed typo. ARART, on the other hand, what the f--YO JOE, GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

I also found something peculiar by the way General Hawk speaks. He appears in nearly all cut-scenes to be alluding to something more personal. . . more intimate. And although this free-spirited liberal is more than open for the expression of sexual preference, the General is further carrying the stereotype that the real-life "G.I. Joes" hate. You know, YMCA. In the Navy. Uh. . . John Waters' Hairspray?

Furthermore if ALART and the General's homosexuality weren't enough to warrant G.I.'s enrollment in our NES Engrish directory, the various enemy cut-scenes are acutally much worse.

DOWN HERE IN THE SEWERS, YOU WILL NOT FIND LIFE SO EASY! !

Donatello says, "Bogus, man. Like, totally uncalled for."

DESTRO'S FORCES WILL BE YOUR ULTIMATE CHALLENGE! !

You can't forget Cobra Commander now. Badass also never received the education he so rightfully deserved in America. Instead, thanks to the tax cuts that took out of public school funding, Cobra went on to a life of terrorism and misspellings.

TRY, AND TRY, I WILL NOT BE STOPED, THE WORLD WILL SOMEDAY BE MINE! !

Before I forget, Cobra Commander belts out a slew of erotic statements himself. Maybe if the General and him got together. . .

You see those flames!? Those are the flames of a sexually confused terrorist dictator!

Nobody said you were, honey. Growl. Hissssss.

Nuh-uh. That's where the fun loving stops and the animal abuse begins. Ciao!
