The folks at Glu were kind enough to let me have check out their Transformers game based on the upcoming movie for cell phones. I must say I was very impressed with what Glu put together.
The game play is not overly complicated and can be learned rather quickly. Game play makes use of most of the key pad. However, there are not many difficult button combinations. Some people will need to use both hands while playing, while most will only need to use one.
When the game starts you are contacted by Bumblebee and given your mission. You will play your way through the games as the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime. The goal is to rescue your fellow Autobots. Though out the game you will remain in contact with Bumblebee. When you reach certain areas marked by a blue bubble you will be able to contact him. Bumblebee gives advice on how to use your control, and how to advance. At times it is very important to listen to the little bot. These bubbles are not as numerous as you advance in the game.
The game is an action packed plat former. As Prime you must, punch, jump, blast, and transform your way through each level. You have to master all of Prime’s skills to get by as you advance. None of the jumps are overly difficult, though you some require more skill than others. The enemies in the game are not pushovers, but they are not very difficult to defeat. The combination of enemies and jumps add to the challenge of the game with out being overly frustrating.
After beating the first level you will be brought to a map screen. From this point you will be able to choose different paths. Though the game play is repetitive it does not feel like it at. Each stage is set up with a different set of jumps and back ground. Once you start playing you will not want to stop.
The graphics for the game are awesome for a cell phone game. They remind me of a Nintendo game with better graphics. The nostalgia adds to the fun in my opinion. I use to love those old SNSES games and this game helps bring back those memories. I could play the game for hours.
I would suggest giving Glu’s Transformers game a try. Tough the graphics are not XBOX 360 or Playstation 3 quality for a cell phone game the graphics are great. Glu’s Transformers game is very enjoyable and can help pass time.

I've checked it out on my phone, and it says:
$2.99 Monthly Subscription
$6.99 Full Version
If I download the full version and pay $6.99, does that mean I still have to pay $2.99 every month I have the game?

Nope, it's yours forever. Even if you cahnge phones it will be DL'd onto your SIM card till you delete it.
It's good and bad getting the full version. One, it takes up memory and two after a a couple of days (unless its a Tetris type or puzzle game) you never want to play it again anyway after you complete it.
On the positive you get to have it forever.

you do realize that that isn't really a spoiler, considering its based partially off of a true event where 300 spartans ALL DIED.KSC wrote:Are there spoilers in the game? Like major ones?

i think glu should have added more sound effects - it'll be cool for bumbleebee and prime to talk!
