Press Release Follows:

In the game, Facebook users can create their own customized G.I. Joe or Cobra character — characters are based on Duke, Snake Eyes and Scarlett on the G.I. Joe side; and Storm Shadow, The Baroness and a Neo-Viper on the Cobra side.  The customization options for the characters include clothing, weapons, items and vehicles.
Once the user completes their customization, they can deploy their character to fight against the enemy.  The opponent pool consists of other Facebook users who have also created their own character on the opposing side.  The fight then ensues and you earn 50 points for winning or lose 10 points for being defeated.

The points can be used to purchase upgrades, additional weapons, items and vehicles.   As you accumulate wins, you are moved up in ranking (4 ranking levels total).   At each new level, additional clothing options are unlocked that you can use to outfit your character. You can recruit friends (earning 200 additional points for doing so each time) and share your progress as you move up the ranks to become the ultimate G.I. Joe or Cobra operative. Also, there are 2 clips from the DVD bonus features that can be accessed by playing the game.
