"Transformers: The Video Game" Ships Over One Million Units

thats surprising

I want to know how much of each they sold. Im sure that number includes all versions of the game. I dont think that all versions should be included seeing as how most were diffrent. But i am suprised that they sold that many so quickly.

well with all the movie hype and transformers fans, and all the positive words before anyone played it...its no shock its sold well so far....its like a movie that opens big despite people seeing it and thinking it sucks..lol

i just recently started playing the 360 version myself and i'm not far....just started the Prime level (i'm doing autobots first then the decepticon campaign) ..and i gotta say i love it....course i'm not a big hardcore gamer so my standards arent as high but yeah...its fun and it looks pretty good visually

I think there might be a lot of people who did what I did...

Buy a copy for every console I own WITHOUT reviewing the game. You know.. just to OWN it regardless of how it plays.

The Game's not Bad... But it's not GREAT either. It's "Pretty Good", is what I'll say. Still, Good news for the Investors, right?

yeah it's pretty good - pity bout the lack of a 2 player beat em up round

i reckon they could add an update with new missions b4 the new movie is out

i've completed both autobots and decepticons - only unlocked 2 "g1" character but so far they r robovision prime and original colours starscream - hope there's somethin really g1 rather than a redeco - now i'm expecting a g1 coloured jazz blah

I hope to pick up the game in the discount bin or a used copy.. I have too many movie TFs on my want list and not enough time to play video games.. (HMW is a computer game, I'm referring to console games.. )

This is what is wrong with the game industry. Too many badly designed, licensed games selling millions whilst truely great games sell very little.

nicely said bigbot. you're totally right and it's sad cause bad games like this bring in the money so the cycle will never change. a tf's game(not bayformers) could be so kick ass if they got the right people behind it. it's just a waste.

Shipping is completely different to selling though. I'd imagine plenty of people will go out and get the game in a movie related nostalgia kick.

Wonder how many will be returned 2 days later after they have played through the game?

There is a G1 Jazz redeco. There are also G1 Prime and Megatron models. They play the same as Megs and Prime in the game but are totally different models.

Also I rented the game from Blockbuster, pretty good. Something to pick up and play every once in a while just to run around aimlessly breaking stuff.

Agreed, the game looks great, but I'm not enjoying it all that much.

Gamestop is gonna have these used and in bulk very soon I'm figuring.

They do have a redeco of Jazz, & then they have actual G1 Prime & Megs, though the versions of them are a bit lacking. It seemed like they were only put in to further the idea that G1 was dated by using the dullest, craptastic versions of the 2 characters they could find.

Personally, I thought they should have based their designs off of the 2 "masterpiece" toys, as they both have a lot more intricate details.


Anywho, Yeah, as bad as the reviews have been, I'm kinda suprised that it did so well. I mean, personally I loved it, but it seems like everybody else I hear from, aside from a quiet few, keeps ragging on how horrible it is.

Honestly, I think it's getting a bit of a bad rap simply because it is a movie game, & as a rule, movie games are bad, so the media is either automatically dropping it a point for that, or they're approaching it in a negative way, where they're making the negatives outweigh the positives more than they would on a non-movie game.

I think it's more accurate to say MOST movie games suck. Spidey 2 rocked and Alien 3 was better than the actual movie.

That's why I said, "as a rule".....there are obviously those that break the rule, but for the most part, yeah they aren't so hot.

Well, that's cool. I have 3 versions for it, Autobot for my DS, PSP game, and for my Wii. Seriously, they all stress me out, and they all have me curse alot, espeacially the Wii one. Cool to watch, but the camera angles are hard to control, and the action commands are slow or useless, little fun indeed, but I'm glad I got them.

I loved the game. call me crazy but that game was fun. Who doesn't like being a 40 foot robot who can brake things and transform into cars and blow up sh!t. I think for poeple who aren't fans of Transformers (like how I was) will have fun. And for fans as well. And also realize that this is based on the movie. Not the cartoons. Not everyone is going to be happy. Sh!t some people aren't even happy about Spider-man!
