The game was seen as a disappointment from fans and received criticism for its lack of machine gun action similar to Contra, sluggish controls, complex password system, slow gameplay with unnecessary cut scenes, and confusing layout, similar to the game, Friday the 13th.Rambo: The Video Game is a rail-shooter that puts the player in John Rambo’s combat boots, and takes them on an action packed journey through the iconic combat sequences and story-arcs of FIRST BLOOD, RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II & RAMBO III. It is unknown why this was left out of the USA version.
The USA version ends with a simple "End", but the Japanese Famicom version contains staff credits. The ending sequence allows the player to throw a giant kanji character (怒, Ikari) towards Murdock after returning to the base, which inexplicably turns Murdock into a frog.
Later in the game, Rambo picks up an arsenal of weapons and fights enemy soldiers, but this happens close to the end of the game. In the Japanese version, the experience meter is replaced by an anger meter, however, it functions exactly the same. The game is noted for its identical gameplay to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, in that the player can kill enemies for experience points and the layouts are similar. Bosses include giant spiders and helicopters. Rambo then drops into the forest and fights spiders and other forest creatures. Players advance through the camp and talk to others, and when talking to Trautman again, he tells Rambo the mission.
Players are given a choice, but cannot advance in the game unless "yes" is chosen. The game starts off with Colonel Trautman asking Rambo whether or not he wants to leave the prison and start the mission.
