[Brannigan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I grew up on these cartoons and loved them. I’ve tried some of the supplemental fiction. This was my first CYOA GIJoe book. It wasn’t as good as the fiction.

The reader plays a made up Joe in each book and decide what everyone does. Which seems very lame as a fan who would love to “be” a real Joe. Also these made up Joes are leading Duke and other high ranking leaders so it’s weird. The inside art is truly horrible. It looks like a six year old won a contest and they used his art for the inside.

All that ragging over with it’s still fun for a fan but I don’t think they hold up well.

I loved reading these CYOA type books 35 years ago, but through the lens of years and some maturity I gotta say they are fun and silly but not as good as I remember.
