Ok, I am starting to feel like an idot on the level of more than meets the eye where you have to battle the cement truck at the construction yard as ironhide. Can someone please give me a hint? I would be every so happy.

You have to knock him down with something, then run to him and pick him up and throw him a few times, then he'll explode.

Also, when you fight Shockwave (who I think is pretty sweet in the game, I hope they make a toy) you start off throwing things at him, then he'll transform into a robot. You have to fight him hand to hand to beat him. Just keep holding block and keep your shield up while next to him, and wait for the chance to strike. Weapons will not work. After a few hits, Shockwave will transform into a helicoptor and fly to another part of the city, you have to chase hime like 5 or 6 times before you beat him. You gotta be aggressive towards him to win.

aah man! im so excited! i get it tomorrow!!!!

Thanks! You da Man...

It's over already?

But I just bought it yesterday!

I suppose I could drive around and collect cubes which unlock stuff I don't want (movie photos? Please.), but... ARGH!

Twenty-seven years of fandom, and they couldn't find any acual bonus content to add replay value? I wish I had rented this. I got my hopes up.

You must not have anything to do...wish my life were like that sometimes...lol

Actually, I have plenty to do six days out of the week. My week runs Thursday to Tuesday. Day off!

This game is such a major disappointment. I honestly don't even think I'm going to keep it...Which sucks. The Armada game was so much better than this. What's sad is Armada had better graphics, I'm playing this on the PS3 with a 46" Sony Bravia XBR3.

Strongly recommend that if you haven't bought this yet, don't. Rent it and you'll thank me later.

Man i hate when people give reviews of stuff i will never review again. I think people need to try the stuff and use there opinion instead of reading some one elses. Same thing goes for the move the game ect.

Im not one of those people. You know, there really should be a thread for those who want to complain and moan about their "disappointments". Everyone that I talk to who has it for the WII is having a great time. I know I am. Everyone who complains, is complaining either about graphics (fine, understandable although I think they are great), or "The camera makes it hard to play". Poor babies. Cause you know the transformers have fluid human motions like.....wait, they aren't human are they...lol. Get over it, and play the game and have fun folks. Thats the whole reason these consoles were built. To have fun. And I'm a child of the 80's who loves gaming. At some point, you just gotta be a 30 something, grow up, and enjoy the games...

Sey Hey! Life's fun...

While I applaud your attitude, and do share and respect it on most counts, it is only natural to experience certain emotions and then to communicate them. Disappointment to spend 20, 40, 60 dollars on a game that provides less than ten hours of content is a perfectly valid feeling. If you don't personally share that experience, excellent. Enjoy yourself!

Furthermore, you seem to be fairly unfocused in your post. You are frustrated with people who complain one minute, and then people who might not be enjoying the game as much as you are the next. You're on a message board, you know, complaining about complainers. You even give your reasoning for why the game is good, as is your right. Still, isn't that rather like saying, "You shouldn't voice your opinion, but HERE is mine!"

YOu're right, though. Life's fun. Isn't that better, to be agreed with?

Nah, I just miss the days of the 80's where people would buy a game, have fun playing it, beat it even if it wasn't the best game, and go get another. lol I am not purposefully trying to tople an opinion. Just trying to get folks to crawl out of their heavy skins and have a little pure fun. Makes the day better. Thanks for the cretique though. It is appreciated.

Hmmm... your server is blocked at my work, so I'll have to look later.

Are the settings maxed out? For a 'rich gamer you have a very old system.

Regardless, I'll still be getting it. For $30AUD I'm not exactly expecting an epic.

HAHA I just got the screenshots through a proxy.

Are you serious? Those can't be anywhere near the max settings. 640*480? C'mon! No/little AA? Does your card support HDR?

I think it a little unfair judging the graphics too harshly based on those shots if thats what your playing.

HAHA I just got the screenshots throug ha proxy.

I think it a little unfair slamming the graphics based on those shots if that what your playing.

's what I do. Signs of the times. I could Atari, Pac-Man and Duck Hunt with the best of 'em. Fact is, though, tastes have become more refined, and people want value for their money. We would have very few great games if developers could sell us just anything, you know.

I enjoy simple pleasures as much as anyone, but I know a "ha, ha, I bet they'll buy THIS," too. When they're sure to sell a million no matter what, why even try?

I got the Cybertron edition as well. Graphics are good and I like Transforming but I have a major bitch about this game: The CONTROLS and the CAMERA! It really ruins my enjoyment of this game. It's so hard to throw something at the bosses when you don't have time to turn around and throw it at them before they smack you. The destroy cooling fans mission inside hoover dam is tuff cuz you have to turn the camera around on your own and it makes it harder to get out before the tunnel blows up on you. This game could have used some more time in testing that's for sure. But it's still TF so I like it. It just needed to be tweaked a bit.

just lock on using the Left Bumper

bought the psp verson last week from game stop. It is horrible, A true disappointment. bought the ps2 version yesterday from best buy. It's soooo much better. ps does anyone know how to aim blackout's guns in helocopter mode (in the psp version)? I got frustrated and just shot the other helos while in robot mode.

i'm getting it for my psp just because i'll play it alot more than on my ps2 or computer. i just hope the graphics will be about the same as for the ps2 version. i don't have a 360 or ps3 just yet but i bet the graphics would be so could i'de probably crap myself if i just saw a second of it.

When I set my game res higher than 800x600, the framerate suffers and becomes almost a slideshow. As stated, I don't have the best system nor do I have any complaints about the graphics. My only complaint is about game play and level design.

My box is not the best example granted. Can someone else post photos?

Also... "Rich" is a name... not a description.

The PSP version is a different game, developed by a different company.
The reviews of it on this forum have been almost 100% bad. The feedback on the console version is mixed, some like it, some don't, but the PSP version is probably the worst version of this game.
I'd say you're better off getting it from your PS2 or PC and getting something else for your PSP. Or if you have a DS, get the game for that. I've only heard good things about the DS version.

[edit] ooh, 500th post! [/edit]

I'm also playing the game right now. I can't say I really like it... The controls really suck and the battles are getting boring.

But I need help in a level. Right now I'm playing with BB in the Hoover Dam. I need to destroy/throw5 generators before they explode. But what is it that I need to pick/throw or destroy? I can't seem to find it.

You have to climb the structures where the generators are. I believe there are 3 levels to climb on each structure. The generators are on the very top and glowing green. Also there are certain spots you can only climb to get to them. Hope this helps
