I've been looking at playing the new movie TF game(I loved the movie, btw), but with the mediocre reviews it's been getting I was wondering if it's any good.


Is it any good for just mindlessly destroying stuff? How does it handle transformations? Is there a multiplayer mode(not necessarily online).

I prefer the DS Version. If you want to destory stuff buy Decepticons as far as I know you destroy stuff I have atuobots so I dont know for sure.

No, it's not good.

There is no multiplayer function, or online function at all.

The main focus seems to be "how the environment would react to a 30 foot robot" and not "how we can make this game fun"

Buildings can be broken by walking near them. A tree can demolish an entire building without breaking.

Driving is sloppy and annoying. Way too many "get to this checkpoint" missions.

You can't hurt humans at all, which would have made the whole "protect humanity" thing on the Autobots side more meaningful.

It really isn't worth buying. I rented it, and took it back a couple days later just because the game was boring.

it sucks. seriously...

amen to that my friend.

The only one worth your time is the DS version. It's pretty good.

Really? That's odd, as I usually stay far, FAR away from portable versions of games on current-gen consoles.

What makes it better than the console versions?

Well thats YOUR opinion senor hugo but i actualyl fidn the game to be lots of fun.

Mindlessley blowing stuff up is fun, transformatuiosn look and handle brilliantly, and the graphics on the 360 version are nice.

If you are a TF fan, and want to just drive or fly around, blow crap up and fight giant freaking robots and have a bit of fun no nonesense brainless mayhem then get it.

It doesnt "suck" as bad as some people think. You could do ALOT worse then enjoy a game based on your favourite fandom.

You lot are a bunch of philistines.

I posted this in another thread about the 360 version:

In many ways, the game feels like a glorified verson of the retro game Rampage. You walk around and destroy stuff.

It is a fun game, but is far from perfect.

The graphics and sound on the 360 are pretty sharp. Nothing spectacular though, and I have noted some clipping and other glitches. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say 8 / 10.

Gameplay is okay. The missions and even the action get repetitive. Shooting is often a waste of time and it is more effective to just keep smashing your melee attack button.

The biggest problem is driving, especially with Bumblebee in the Hoover Dam missions. It feels like you are driving on ice! The car seems to float and it is easy to catch yourself bouncing from wall to wall. I also find myself just transforming to bot mode to get unstuck and turned the right way. Gameplay I's rate a 7 out of 10, because smashing stuff as a big TF is still fun.

Overall, this is a mediocre game escalated to a must have game (for me anyway) simply because it is Transformers.

Now when I saw the movie I see the game with other eyes, in the movie the most attention is on the humans how they solve the problem with the invation of the Transformers, for those who found that it was mor attention on the humans in the movie can live the full attention on the Transformers in the game, sure it's not really that good but I take it for a little support that you can play the campaign with the Transformers with full English languages not that mistirious coding like in the movie that sound like this annoying beeping from the Minicons from the Transformers Armada series.
