I got the 360 version. I think it's fun as hell and the graphic are awesome. Definitely what I wanted in a TF game. I would be nice if the same guys did a G1 game.

Anywhoo... Not suprised either. But face it, we are TF-Fans, and we don't care what the score is.

you havent plaed RE4 untill now? Shame on you. Its one of the greatst games of all time.

No, I've played it before. I rented it for the Wii to see what all has changed, and it's better than before. Graphics have been polished (Well, as much as they could) and it has the PS2 Ada Wong missions too!

EDIT: Needless to say I'm buying it tommorrow when I have to return it to MovieGallery

I haven't had a chance to play the game yet, but I'm not surprised that reviews here are unfavorable. If I go by the X-Play podcast, this is fairly normal for movie-based games. (And technically, this time out Transformers is a movie-based game.) I'm not aware of them reviewing it yet though.

These games would've been better if you could transform mid-air. That's what I loved about Armada. And I don't love a lot of things about Armada............oh well.

So far I've completed the entire Autobot side of the game and thought to myself, "I've got guns that are useful against the small drones and thats it!" No wonder everything around the transformer is so interactive- you have to destroy stuff to attract vehicles and use them as throwing objects. The guns are a waste of graphics and button slots.
Another I have is the police and military attack only the player's character and not the opponents. You'd think they'd go after ALL of the giant robots but they don't...only the player. This would make sense in the Decepticon missions but as of yet I haven't played those.
Otherwise I am thoroughly enjoying the game as I get frustrated, throw the controller, say a few 4-letter words and pick the controller back up to do the mission again for the umpteenth time. The Cybertron mission in the end was the easiest once I figured out that some of the drones had to be knocked down. Now if they had only incorporated some elements from the Armada game plus unlockable characters to play as well as not having set characters for certain missions...

I've been playing it on my 360 for about a week now & so far I've just about got everything unlocked & finished both campaigns. A few things I've noticed about it so far:

-First, I'm also having the loading problems somebody else mentioned earlier...but as soon as I get an Autobot emblem flash on the screen everything's fine....sometimes takes about 5-10 min. & about 17 restarts....

-The gameplay itself is pretty fun, but any robot aside from a weak drone blocks any sort of gunfire, making your guns & missles solely useful for environmental destruction(or in some rare cases getting the Heroic or Evil skill awards).

-finding the last few energon cubes are a pain in the arse, as oftentimes you can continue sweeping the same 3 buildings 15+ times & only then manage to get a glimpse of one by looking at the same building from an obscure angle.

-Physics are pretty sweet for the most part. One thing I noticed is that if a fire starts in a small corner of a building, it will actually start spreading to other parts of the building, & I believe in some cases it will actually spread to surrounding buildings, which is pretty cool & adds to the destruction.

-Sometimes mass hysteria can be caused without you actually having anything to do with the situation. I've actually had it a few times where I was sitting up on a building, minding my own business, & then down below a couple of cars will crash into each other, resulting in a huge pile-up, buildings being destroyed, lamp posts or train tracks falling into the street, causing more chaos, & eventually police, helicopters, & finally military all showing up to blow the sh*t out of the innocent robot just watching.


-G1 Prime & Megs are pretty neat extras, but I'm almost afraid they were put in to show people how silly & quirky their designs are compared to the new ones.....by using semi-crappy versions of them. If you look at them, you'll see what I mean. You can see Prime's head sitting in the cab in vehicle mode.

-Scorponok sucks unless he's underground. Otherwise they should have just painted a bull's-eye on his back. The submission where he has to find all the gears on the military base...I've yet to beat, because I get halfway done & all the helicopters blow the sh*t out of him.

anywho, that's my $0.03. I do think some of the reviewers, though, are being a bit harsh, & probably instantly dropped it's score a couple of points based off of the fact that movie games tend to suck. I'd honestly bet that if it weren't for that, it would have got a better review....maybe not.

Hmm, I have the PS3 version on order. Dont know if I really want to pay £40 for poor game. Argh, what should I do?

Scores are comparable to IGN's that came out a week or so ago.

I have the DS games, and they are fun, if not brilliant games, but are more than adequate to pass the time. Have not had a chance to play the PS2 version, and will probably wait to get the Wii game cheaper later on.

I heard the entire thing is a three button pattern. Movie games nearly always suck, so I'm not suprized.

Still, just the ability to play these figures is apealing enough to me, and as I suck at games, maybe a 3 button pattern is just as well.

To be honest though, I'm waiting till I can get a PS3 before I get this, so come on bad reveiws, drop that price!

I was disappointed in this game, so i have finally decided that i had to make my first ever post about it.
i have it on import for the PSP and it is by far the most boring game i have ever played, the missions are to linear and the final mission is ridiculously hard. thumbs down from me, i strongly recommend against it. (although movie version shockwave is very cool and wish he would make an appearance in the next movie).
