When the game first starts, expectations are high. You start by learning all the basic moves and controls. Best thing thru the whole game is jumping into the air and watch your autobot or decepticon change into the vehicle. While shooting at different targets you pretty much get the since of how the rest of the game is going to go. Optimus will pop up on the screen and tell you the next mission. You are partially lost when going into missions. During game play there are small movie clips that will play to give light to the situations. If
you do not look at the map you will be unaware of how many enemies are in the area.When looking at your surrounding, you can notice that most building look exactly the same. Sort’ve like the creators got bored and tired so the copied and pasted a lot of building from other games into transformers and clicked file save. There really isn’t much to do in story mode. From protecting building and running around the town, boredom sets in quick.
Richard Wakeling; bloger for thunder bolts games, states “Obviously this is brilliant for fans of the show and even newcomers that want to see what the 80s smash hit was actually like”. Those who love Transformers will object when I say the game sucks. They are blinded by the hype, the game is repetitive, boring, and needs more variety.
Though the story mode game play is slow, multiplayer mode adds to the positives. Maybe because I chill with friends who are very competitive and use a curse word in every other sentence that made the game more enjoyable. What I mean is, multiplayer brings a lot of fun. Team death match is boring against computer but find a group of college individuals, hung over from the night before, and your guaranteed and good time. They (my friends), think the game is great, that the coolest thing about it is letting them transform. I reply, play the story mode.
Chris Roper states that he found a handful of bugs/clichés in the system as he played. He noted that on missions where cars should be following you, they get lost and just appear in the end. Also that one mission, after dieing once and replaying it, left him at a stand still. Came to the conclusion that he was supposed to lose that mission on purpose. I add this in there since my attention span couldn’t last more than bout a half a hour playing this game.
Overall the game gets 3 out of 10 in my book. They spent too much time trying to make the robots and the transformations look good instead of giving a little more time to game play and surrounding settings.

After the first movie I bought the game and I will never make that mistake again. It got dull after the first three stages and prove to be a waste of my damn money. For that reason I won't even waste my time downloading the demo for the sequal and any second thoughts was eliminated by your post. So thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah I know what you mean, the last good movie video game that I remember playing was Spider-Man (the original one). It seem like most of the time when they come out with a game from a movie it falls short of expectation. Yeah I know what its like when you buy a game play, it for a week, and then want to throw it against the wall because it's so bad. But then again, most people do buy the game Halo 2 just to play it online. I can't even play it for more than 30 mins if its not online. I guess there are some games that are meant to be played with other live players.
