The other Beast Wars game was a shooter, and awful. the voice acting sounded like the worst fan-dub ever, the Transmetals game got the original cast, this one did not. The game itself made no sense, to this day very few people have any idea what you were fighting. Like the show, you'd take damage if you remained in Robot mode for too long, which is a gameplay feature I'd only accept if the rest of the game is good, which, as I've stated, it is not. It was on PC, and again, I think PS1. But also, skip it.

Then there was the Armada game on PS2, simple called "Transformers." It had a picture of Armada Optimus Prime, if that helps you distinguish it better from the movie games. It was also, and this is a shocker, a really good game. It only had something like six levels, and only three playable character. Either way, get it if you can.
The Japanese game, Transformers Tatakai, is...unique. It had really good voice acting, despite being only available in Japan, all the lines were spoken in English, and were surprisingly close to the original voices from G1. That said, the gameplay was awful, you fought an army of lookalikes transforming was useless, fighting was tedious and repetitive...you get it. If you want, import it, I can't recommend it.
The first movie game was...okay. I mean the 360/PS3 version, though, I don't know about the PS2/Wii version. It played very much like Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, which is a really good game. But it was short, kind of annoying, very restrictive, and you had no control over who you played as. Not terrible, but I can't recommend it.
The PSP movie game was different. Though it was very linear (You had no option to explore areas) you also had a much larger cast of playable characters. Most of them were only available in the online mode, and good luck finding someone who wants to play that. It was very short, but overall, it wasn't too terrible. Get it if you REALLY want too.
The Revenge of the Fallen game, I haven't played yet. From what I've heard, it's actually MUCH better than the first movie game.
