EA has released the G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra characters list for the upcoming videogame based on the blockbuster movie of the same name. It will be released on Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii, DS, PC and mobile platforms on August 4th, a few days ahead of the August 7th release of the feature film.

As COBRA unleashes its deadliest plot yet, the G.I. JOE Team is counting on you and your hand-picked team of heroes to lead the counterattack. Every mission is critical and so is every G.I. Joe character. Picking up where the live action film leaves off, G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra is an accessible third person action-arcade shooter that allows players to recreate and relive the greatest moments from the film, cartoon series and action toy line.

In the game players will choose from 16 playable characters (four of which are unlockable COBRA characters), each with a unique set of abilities and weapons. Then gear up with the latest in high-tech gadgets (like the film-inspired Accelerator Suit) and high-powered vehicles and take your forces across 20 levels to face the worst threats in Cobra Commander’s arsenal. Adding to the adrenaline rush will be an intense single-screen co-op mode allowing two players to easily unite as a team in a classic struggle between good and evil as they work together to defeat the powers of the COBRA organization.

Here are the characters who have been revealed so far:

1. Agent Helix
2. Backblast
3. Baroness
4. Beachhead
5. Duke
6. Firefly
7. Flash
8. Gung-Ho
9. Heavy Duty
10. Kamakura
11. Neo Viper
12. Ripcord
13. Scarlett
14. Shipwreck
15. Snake-Eyes
16. Storm Shadow

Here’s a video of the game showing the characters in action. Looks fun to me! Reminds me of a kind of modern-day Contra in a way.

I think Snake eyes is pretty cool because he has a longrange wepon (pistol) and a short range wepon (katna). So he can kill enimeys easly!!!

omg omg snake eyes his long range shooting he weapon are so extreme and his suit makes him look so sexy and hes like a super soldier like captain america but way better why did he have to be so sexy and cool Snake Eyes is the code name of a member of the G.I. Joe team. Much of his history and information, including his real name, place of birth, as well as most everything else about him, have remained classified throughout all depictions of his origin. All that is known for certain about his military standing is that he holds the rank of U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (E-7), has undergone Drill Sergeant training and is a former U.S. Army Special Forces Operative (Delta). He is also the team’s resident hand-to-hand combat instructor. Very little else about his past has been revealed. He was originally billed by Hasbro Toys in 1982 as a Commando, but by 1984, in the pages of Marvel Comics, it became clear that he was also a full-fledged ninja master.
