Friendly Reminder, Transformers Movie Game Released Today!

Not over here. None of the gamestops had it.

It comes out the 28th..i went to my future shop today and they dont have it. the sign there said the 28th sooo, 2 more days.

I just stopped by Gamestop and purchased the Cybertronian edition for the 360. I also had to buy a 360 to play it on. My wife is going to KILL me. LOL

The special edition comes with 2 extra levels and a behind the scenes disk.

I hate you. My gamestop got fraked again. I have to wait untill tomorrow to get it.

Got it..thanks to a couple trade ins and gift card it cost me 37 cents...heh heh. Been playing for the last hour non-stop...I'm liking it so far, but I'm stuck on this cement mixer drone; we've been fighting for 15 minutes but it seems to have no health bar...:-/ It just keeps coming...
BTW..."One shall stand...one shall fall" I nearly crapped my pants...

ok this isnt fair! my stores get it in 2 days!

The PC version at Target is out today, but the other versions don't come out there until later this week. Of course, the PC version is the exact same software, but it only costs $20. If you have a decent machine and a gamepad, it's a no-brainer.

I'm liking the game. Cullen is awesome, of course. It controls a little oddly... not quite the Hulk: Ultimate Destruction meets GTA we were promised, but fun anyway. And for the money, yeah. Awesome.

Im begining to think that the shipment went to the wrong store again. If it did theres no point is rusjing out to get it. I have to pick upi the movie comic tomorrow so ill get it when i get that.

I pre-ordered mine and have gotten a bunch of e-mails form Best Buy telling me that it would be in today and then it won't be in today and then back to it being in today. I called the store but they were useless on the phone. I'll go over and see if I can pick it up today if they have it. Can't wait to play it.

OK...I'm officially stumped...does ANYONE have any idea how to beat this cement mixer drone? 30 minutes later and still going at it...kinda annoying

places around here wont get it until friday...

did you get it for 360 or ps3 First-Aid?

you like it you say. i really wanna get it so i might try and buy it on ebay and get it in a few days or so. im gonna get that (ps3) and the ds version hopefully as there are US versions on uk ebay so.

I got mine for the Wii... took it home for lunch played for a while.

First impressions:

The Good = Gameplay! Racing around town trying to beat the Decepticon clones to Sam, getting stuck in traffic, transform, jump three lanes, climb over buildings, jump and transform back into car in time to land and speed off... wicked cool!

The Bad = Controls! It might be unique to the Wii, but the camera control was a little wonky and I got frustrated trying to look around (still can't figure out how to do it). Also, I can crash into cars and Decepticons and send them flying, but I come to a dead stop when I hit debris or a fallen tree. ????

The Bottom Line = In my opinion, fans will love it and have a blast racing, transforming and fighting. However, there might be less appeal to non-fans simply due to the controls and physics.

I'll get the PC game and try that out.

Oh, also... does anyone else notice low volume? I had to crank my TV up to max and it's still not as loud as it should be. Again, might be a Wii-only problem.

Is there a PC demo available?

I went to 2 Target stores in my area, and they said it doesnn't come out until the 28th. Then, I called another one and it said the 27th. Then I called one that said it should have come out on the 17th. TARGET IS F_ED UP!!! Also, Is the Target version the ONLY version for ps2 that you can unlock G1 skins in? I did find a copy at TRU (had to have the employee look through a ton of unopened boxes from the back), and bought it. Should I have waited for the ROBO-Vision one from Gaye Target? Has anyone played the PS2 game yet? Is it good? I can't wait to get home and play it in 2 hours!

I have the Wii version and I'm loving it. The camera controls aren't bad when you get used to it. I turned the sensitivity to full, and basically, when you point to the edge of the screen, the camera will move in that direction. It's hard to get used to, but intuitive when it does. It also looks amazing on the Wii.

By the way, just ignore the IGN reviews. I'm thinking they must have played an entirely different game, because they apparently don't know how to shut the hell up and have fun.

I never had any problems with a cement mixer drone. But then, I'm only on the second Jazz mission.

Also, ALL versions of the console and PC games are identical. That means G1 skins, bonus Cybertron missions, etc. are all available. Target gives you the code to unlock G1 skins, and the Cybertron Edition gives you the code to unlock the Cybertron levels without having to beat the game, but you might as well just get them online.

As for the Cybertron edition, you're basically paying for the bonus disc with interviews. The game disk is supposed to be identical.

The controls and camera still have me a little frustrated.

Does anyone know how/where to input the Generation One codes? It doesn't work during actual gameplay...

NICE! So I do not have to return this and wait two days for the lame Target version! I like that!

cool dude, whAT version of the 360 did u buy i want to buy the basic one whats the difference between the 3 models the 0ne is 299 then 399 then 499 i dont know the console to well can you or anyone help with info

cape cod isn't getting it until tomorrow-meanwhile we've had the psp one for a week

got mine today and love it. My son is an autobot so I am helping him through the autobot story now. We are currently fighting starscream.

Not in the UK and EU...please consider the different release dates for things when making news announcements in the future? We have another month to wait here.

First-Aid, I got to the mixer truck drone... you're right, he's a tough one. My solution below.

The camera is just plain broken on this game. I wish they had done a better job on controls, camera, and clipping. The combat also seems far too straightforward and easy. Also, enemies like to get trapped in the scenery. Anyone kinda sick of punching drones yet?

Still trying to figure out the G1 code input problem, too. Someone let me know if they got it to work.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER*


















I finally got him by knocking him over by throwing a truck at him, then picking HIM up and throwing him into a house. Your experience may vary.

Reanimate28, the 2 extra levels are not exclusive to the special edition, it just includes the CODES to unlock them. Betcha those codes are on the net by the end of the day. :-p

I bought the $399 version. It comes with more memory and the controler is wireless. The $479 (Elite) is hard to find but it comes with more memory than the $399 and it has an HD cord. I wanted to get the Elite but didn't want to wait until I could find one.

I hope that helped

yup. first we get jipped on the movie. now the game. at least theyre consistant

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).

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.

i really hope the ps2 version will be alright.

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.

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.

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

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.

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! 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

will playing the game ruin anything about the movie?

primalVICTORY wrote: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.

anyone know if there's a DEMO available?

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. 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!

In response to the last 2 posts^^

-No there's no PC demo out, but the game's only $19.95. Pick it up.

- The PC graphics might be best, but they're still nothing to write home aobut. We've all seen a lot better. Don't expect Gears of War with transforming cars. (Wow. Pay attention, game industry, that sounds GOOD.)
