I bought the game for ps2 too and it's ok. But the missions are driving me crazy I mean why does almost everything have to be done in a time limit?

I like the Decepticons missions more because you mostly need to destroy something...

I'm currently playing Autobots compaign and I'm having trouble in a boss battle. I'm controling Jazz who have to face Blackout, Starscream, neverending suplies of police cars and tanks. I mean really...WTF!!!! So much for that till'' all are one... it seems to me that this now changes in '' stand alone against many!'' Jeeez!

Any tips?

I haven't played the Autobot campaign yet, but my advice would be to throw the police cars at the decepticons, and when you're low on health, destroy police cars in the hope that they'll give you more health. I know that in the decepticon campaign you can destroy military helicopters and other units to gain health.


As to the camera, like I said, in a third person game you really expect to be controling the movement of the camera in relation to the character. Swinging it around them, not directing where they will look.
If the camera controls turned the robot and made him face the same direction that you're looking with the camera then maybe it would seem okay. But as it stands, the robot continues to face the direction he was facing while only the camera swings around to face the direction you pointed.

Oh, good, the PS2 version is good. I guess I'll pick it up at some point, then.

Thanx but I don't have time to pick the cars cuz they both charge at me! Poor Jazz...

Oh and in Decepticon compaign, how do I beat Ironhide?

Thanx

On the fight when you are fighting Starscream and Blackout. I little trick I use was remembering that in one of the corners there is some health that appears like every 10 seconds or so. Thats what help me beat him.

I haven't gotten very far in the PS2 game, just rented it last night and have been playing through as the Autobots. It may not be the most original game, but I was having fun with it and I like the roaming but the leader updates when you're roaming do get annoying.

The models look great and move well. There are some sticky spots where you can get stuck between buildings, but overall it wasn't too bad. There's only been one mission that I thought was completely idiotic. *SPOILER* It's that one where as Prime you have to drive/run around the city chasing Bumblebee in the nets and you can't do anything other than follow the helicoptor... THAT was dumb */SPOILER*

My only other gripe is that it forces you into melee combat with anything other than basic drones. You HAVE to throw things and move in close to punch/kick/stab and can't just ping them from farther away. And for crying out loud, let me shot them when I knock them down or stomp on them. They are less than invincible on their back.

I rank it right up there with the Armada game. 8 out of 10. Oh, and I did say that I just rented it, when I get paid Friday I will be BUYING it. I liked it that much

Anyone know if the other Decepticons are unlockable, playable characters?

I'd pick up this game in a heartbeat if I knew I could play as Brawl and Bonecrusher.

After hearing on Time-Limited missions , I decided to save myself frustration and not got the game.

Since you all are talking about the time limit thing..so I suppose one has to go through and finish all the missions like its supposed to before you can go back and have the liberty to free roam right? How long are the time limits? Are they hard to beat?
Also Does anyone know if the PS2 version can be switched to Widescreen Mode?

Sorry those two are not playable. I am upset about that myself.
