Personally, I'm finding the DS Version to be MUCH better than the PC Version

GAMEPLAY: Simple. GTA-style play with your standard fare missions. For some reason all of Bumblebee's missions are harder than everyone elses. However, expect subpar collision detection

GRAPHICS: They are somewhere between Super Mario 64 DS and Metroid Prime: Hunters, but pop-ups and "fog" ruin the look most of the time

TF-FANDOM: Loads of stuff, from the Unlockable G1 Starscream (Must go to a download station to get) to Cartoon References (Chip Chase's Resturant?) to Character References (Wheeljack was mentioned early on...)

BOTTOM LINE: Your on a TF-Fandom Website, so odds are your going to buy this. One of the best movie based games EVER. Better than Spiderman 2, but nowhere near as good as Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay.

I, Maju Garzett, give Transformers the Game (DS) a 8.5/10

it comes out tomorrow for best buy(as said in the ad).

Tue Jun 26, 2007 4:06 pm

I'm gonna play with settings and see if I can do anything with the camera on the Wii version, other then the fact that I can't see who I'm fighting half the time I'm enjoying it. But unless I can figure out a way to fix the damn camera some I'm gonna end up trading the Wii version back in and picking up the PC version.

Tue Jun 26, 2007 4:08 pm

i really hope the ps2 version will be alright. :PRAY:

Gamestop called me befor to tell me they got them in late. I picked it up and just started playing. I kinda disapointed with the cybertron edition. Theres no metal box and all you get are a few dumb extras. Im likeing the game so far. Blackout and scorponok kick ass. The graphics are amazing and the sound is great too. Now i just hope the game take a while to beat.

Shockwave= Awesome and Dissappointing at the same time!

it sucks my ebagmaestor has it in but i forgot all about it preorderd mine garnteed to be played by me.

Tue Jun 26, 2007 4:45 pm

I have the PS2 version and all I can say is that this game is fun. I don't know how it compares graphics-wise to the next gen consoles, though, but for PS2 itself it's pretty good. A little bit above average, I'd say.

Um isnt the PC,XBOX,PS3 all the same the ds one is different.

Update: Shockwave's movie redesign is awesome, even if he's a bit of a pushover.

The game seems really unbalanced: one minute you're breezing through bad guys, the next minute you're stuck for an hour on an impossible mission objective. Right now, I can't survive long enough for the Allspark to shrink, and I've almost gone through a very expensive controller trying.

I also kind of wish I'd stop dying due to game bugs. The game still feels very "beta" to me.

Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:18 pm

I find the PC version easier to control camera wise. If you've played 3rd person shooters, it's not much different.

Is anyone else having an issue with the audio repeating? Prime will say a line then repeat himself beginning in the middle of the line. It's pretty consistent.

Mimimap runs out of graphics... like they forgot to add on to it.

Objective screens are horribly pixelated and low rez.

But otherwise, it's a lot of fun. (Once again, I can't imagine non-fans taking to this game well.)

I got the Cybertron Edition on 360 today

It's hard! I started out playing the Decepticon campaign, which may be a little tougher. Also I'm a little disappointed by the bonus CD because it's mostly content that they had already made available through download on their website or through Xbox Live. There is a spot for 'G1 Characters' to be unlocked, about 4 or 5 slots. We know one of them is Optimus Prime... it'll be interesting to see who the others are! So the verdict so far is that it is a good game but pretty difficult, and don't spend the extra $10 on Cybertron edition unless you are a completist.

DONT but the Elite, all games that came before it dont support 1080i, but 1080p only, meaning your playing all the old games in 720p while you can play any game in 1080i using the component cables(with a optical cord for better sound if you want)

Anyways I hate the More than Meets the Eye hub because I cant find 2 energon cubes finish off the hundred cubes and I cant seem to get the whole jump thing even with the ramp in the middle. Also does anyone know how the heroic skill is increased? It was sorta automatic on the first hub but on the second one it dosent show in increasing or popping up at all

Tue Jun 26, 2007 7:21 pm

I think Heroic hub is increased by rapidly (VERY rapidly) dispatching enemies. Not positive, though.

The Allspark is in my possession. Did anyone else swear ALL THE WAY THROUGH the Hoover Dam allspark battle?

OK...finally beat that bastitch mixer drone (which BTW actually has a cool look to it). This is one game that PS2 and PS3 are really not making much difference on as far as graphics goes. They also make the Swindle drones look pretty sweet.

So far I'm liking the game. I've started the Decepticon side now as well...not liking the first Scorp mish but Blackout is a freaking badass.

News Credits: 7 · Tue Jun 26, 2007 7:32 pm

Well, I was counting on one of the GameStops in my area to have one compy of the Cybertron Edition, but lo ahd behold! not one store in a 50-mile radius had one! :sad:

So I ordered one from their website, but they're currently on backorder

Just as well though. I wasn't planning on playing it as soon as I got it, on account that I don't want the story ruined for me anymore than it is now :grin:

Tue Jun 26, 2007 8:17 pm

will playing the game ruin anything about the movie?

Yeah. Turns out Bumblebee's a Camaro.

Seriously, though, if you're one of us who started spoiling ourselves way back when the leaked script hit in... what, 2005... you probably won't learn anything you don't already know. If you're staying spoiler-free, though, avoid the game till July 4.

well i am one of those ones. which makes me happy knowing i can now play the game without ruining too much.

Tue Jun 26, 2007 8:48 pm

anyone know if there's a DEMO available?

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jun 26, 2007 8:58 pm

I demand screen shots! LOL

Us aussies are gonna have to wait for the game apparently. It seems that the PC graphics maxed out sh!t all over the other consoles. Hope its true.

I went to EB early today to pick up my reserved Cybertron Edition and the jerk said they don't get shipments in this early.

So I get back home from work and they haven't called to tell me to come and get it. Which leads me to believe they either don't have it in still, or they're just dicks and haven't called. :mad:

So now I have to go in there early again tomorrow before I have to catch my flight. And if they still don't have it, I don't know what I'm going to do.

I tell you, if the CE wasn't exclusive to EB/GameStop, I would have gone somewhere else. I have had nothing but trouble in dealing with them!
