Well, the early 90s G.I. Joe arcade game was freaking sweet, and I can't think of any other games that made use of the license offhand. So as far as I'm aware the series has a 100% success rate - meaning that this has got to be awesome!

Throw EA into the equation and all of a sudden this success rate dramatically drops. It's sort of like looking at the survival of a water tank full of monkeys after you drop a white pointer in there..
When Hasbro pitched the whole idea to EA's board of directors, instead of seeing "Yo Joe!" on the page, EA saw "Yo cash-in!"..
EA's is in the business of making the most amount possible from games. Making decent / quality titles seems to be a lacking feature on their mission statement.

The shark would die. It's not like there was any room for the water in the first place- It was filled with Monkeys for Christ's sake.
