The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews the Rambo NES game, criticizing its poor gameplay, confusing navigation, and lack of resemblance to the movie. The game is a clone of Zelda II, but with a poorly executed storyline and frustrating controls. The Nerd also briefly reviews two other Rambo games, Rambo: First Blood Part 2 on the Sega Master System and Rambo III, also on the Sega Master System, which uses the Light Phaser. He finds these games to be somewhat entertaining but still flawed.
The Nerd also discusses the confusing title situation of the Rambo movie series, particularly the fourth movie, which is simply titled "Rambo" despite being the fourth installment. He argues that this title change is unnecessary and confusing, and that the movie should have been titled "Rambo IV" for consistency.
