Firstly, that is one gorgeous picture of Cybertron! =P~

Too bad there's not also an offline split screen co-op option. I guess me and my husband will just be passing the controller every death/checkpoint.

I'm SO glad this game doesn't relate the the live action movies. It seems to loosly relate to G1 cartoon? If the story in the game is good, and maybe if we get a sequel to it, we may be looking at another continuity! I woldn't also mind reading supporting fiction for the game.

I'm also glad this is a shooter!

I assume that since Peter Cullen and Frank Welker are busy

What could be more important? I think they can spare a day in the recording booth for this!

Sorry but can somebody tell me why playing this on the Wii is so important? When the game was announced, half of you were worried sick that it might not get a Wii release. Now that it it's for sure there is rejoicing from on high. I really don't know what the appeal is and need to be enlightened. For me, given the choice between zany motion-controller and next gen graphics, I'll go with the next gen graphics every time. It just feels like taking a step backwards. Don't get me wrong, I know how fun the Wii is. I have one myself. I just don't know why waving the remote around occasionally is so much better than the cutting-edge visuals of the PS3 or XBOX. Especially with a game like this.

I think the issue might be that people have Wiis and don't want to buy another console...

Well if that's the case then I highly recommend getting a next gen console! A bit pricey but worth it!

Yeah! And not one of those shitty ones, like the 360. Get one that doesnt break down every 3 seconds! Only other option PS3!

YES!!!!! Wii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :grin: :grin:

The reason I rejoice, is that after 7 years of keepig the PS2, everyone around me asking what my gamertags and stuff were, I finaly decided to except my parents' offer to get the 360, when my sister butts in and asks for a Wii instead. So every since the info got out I've been dying and afraid it'd be not released on Wii. So I'm getting a Wii this Christmas, and now I'll have another reason to like it.

If it'a shooter then guess I'm going to skip it. I don't like FPS games.

If it is/was an RPG or action/adventure games I would be a very very happy Transfan. After playing almost every bloody FPS on the N64 I got and still am completely burned out on the FPS genre. If a demo is released on XBL I'll give it a try, but after the disappointment I had with the demo of Bioshock 1, I'm not holding my breath.

Still don't know about this game. The fact that it's a fps sounds like a major plus for me, hate rts type games. And I doubt this type of game would work as an rpg. But I'm kinda hating the look they went with on the characters. Soundwave just doesn't look right, the others, especially Megs, look like crap. And if these looks are going to be canon and the start of a new era, I think I still want out. This g1 type look crossed with the movie look has me totally turned off to this. Just blech!

First of all i have always been facinated with the planet Cybertron so this does look very interesting to me. But the whole online stuff scares me. If the game is anything like most of the xbox game i've played that support online this will be bad. If its anything like "RE"5 then i will not be getting this. But if it is unique to itself then i will be interested. I know i will get it on the DS, probably free, if you know what i mean. But for the bigger consels that is another story.
