Well, that's why I prefer getting games on the computer... if there's a bug... you wait for a patch.

That and its easier to obtain computer versions if you have the right... sources...

Plus the graphics for the PSP version are very poor (the intro is great but not worth the £30 you pay for the entire game!!!).

I thought the DS versions were excellent for games based on a movie... even as standalone DS games they were excellent. I mean, they aren't without their flaws, but those are very minor.

Here is my review:

I am in game design and development here in Cali, and I gotta say that the Transformers Movie game isn't all that bad as those game site critics like to say it is. They have an over whelming sense of whats good and whats horrible. Don't mind them, with a few exceptions, I can definitley recommend this game for the Transformers fans. It has full in game transformations, a semi destructible city environment, and yes though story content is lacking, its really all about the playability of your favorite characters.

Most Movie games are lacking, I agree, but you get so much that makes up for story content. I attribute this game to that of "Star Wars Episode One Pod racer", though hardly any story, it was a blast non the less. And the unlockables are sweet!! The cybertron edition has an extra unlockable level where you have a mission on Cybertron, so keep on playing and when you unlock it, you'll see why it's worth it to see the movie rendition of the Cybertronian Home world!!

the DS version and PSP versions are fun as well..

Over all as a Video Game designer, I give it 8 out of 10. Considering the time constraints, because they had to work closely with ILM, and as we know the movie designs kept being revised, and what they gave us, I can live a little without the extra story content.

I mean this is their first landing on our world, the movie and game should be more about the first initial battles and not about the story so much, leave that to the sequels, and game sequels.

Since this is kind of a game discussion, I'm just wondering, what are the 10 extra characters for the PSP version anyway? I remember that was one of the extras, and haven't heard anything on it yet.

I have the Cybertron version, & personally, I like it, but the extra unlockable level isn't as great as it sounds....because you know they give you that code on the comic to access it, but what what you end up "unlocking" is actually just a cheat code, & the game recognises it as such & will not let you save your progress in your game untill you boot it up again without using the cheat...so while it's neat to mess around with it a bit early....you might as well wait untill you beat the game on either side & just unlock it that way.

You did make me curious, though, do other versions of the game still have those extra 2 Cybertron levels, or is it just that the Cybertron edition has that added cheat code that lets you access them early?

Im still gonna buy it. I dont care what critics say, i dont buy games because they tell me to, i buy games because I want them. Thats how other people should be too, but too many people need a guiding voice or hand with them at all times cos they cant make their own decisions.

Plus, Gamespot is full of idiots anyway.

i pm'd sonny but if you didnt get it yet it's me quiet hill

ok, I have a friend who bought this game and it is actually fun for a while, but it starts to drag on and gets kinda dull. But I realize everyone has different standards for entertainment and mine are very high, but it seems good for a rental. I just dont see myself paying all that money for a game that I would only play through once. But thats just me AnD I aM cOmPLeTly F****eD iN tHe HeAd.

lol, hello dude.

Personally i was expecting much worse review scores (not that i care what critics say anyway) i was expecting it to go down the lines of Supersuck Returns, and getting a 4. At least 6 is above average, and more than enough to warrent a purchase for us hardcore TF fans.
