Activision has announced that Traveller's Tales' Transformers: The Game (DS, PC, PSP, PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360) has finally rolled out to retail stores nationwide. The game's release has been timed to coincide with the theatrical release of the Transformers live-action film.

"Transformers: The Game lets you choose your side – Autobots or Decepticons – to either protect or destroy Earth," said Will Kassoy, senior vice president of global brand management, Activision, Inc.

"The game features fully destructible environments, an army of playable characters, split second changes from robot to vehicle form and a storyline that goes beyond the film to include some elements from the propertyÂ’s long history that will also appeal to Generation 1 fans."

Meh

Game is so-so: can only play as 1 character in the level, (haven't seen that change yet, seems that you change between being an autobot & decepticon depending on which level you're in) environment is NO completely destroyable only certian objects are, graphics are ok.. guess I got spoiled off of the previews which showed the 360/PS3 versions, don't know if its really worth $40... maybe when it goes to being $20 in a few months... but it definitely does not live up to its hype

Useful comment from seiberton.com: ------------------------------ Posted by CInemastique on June 26th, 2007 @ 1:14pm CDT 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.

craptacular

I wanted to like this game, but it's a giant piece of crap. It looks so cheesy when they transform. They start to fold up, then a whole other model just appears instantly. I only played it for about five minutes as optimus prime, then stopped because it was so boring. Rent it first and you'll understand.

uggg

i played this game last night and it sucks bad. really bad. I couldn't even force myself to get past the bumblebee level. which is the second level. You start off at Prime.

Just read it

Not sure if this news is right,I downloaded it well over a week ago! Horrible game though, it was't similar to chibi-robo at all!
by - 2007-06-26 13:14:06
*****ty game

Actually the PS3 version has better graphics than the xbox360, so I've heard from dubious games review sites...dunno if you can play as G1 Transformers though?!

The reason this sucks for you!!

You guys pirated the game, to you it is just another download You did not experience the joy of spending your hard earned cash on a physical title. You dismiss this game before even giving it a chance because you just downloaded it. This game sucks to you because you pirated it!!
by - 2007-06-26 17:38:26
worth a download if you're a transfan

but other than that. piece of crap made to cash in. don't be a fool and buy this
by - 2007-06-26 18:16:58
sigh...

This game, simply put is "junk". its borring, the animations are bad, actions bad...i was excited about this game it looked like it was gunna be cool. blow a car up, destroy some baddies, transform like 500 times just to hear that awesome sound (the sound sucks on this game...). Thats my opinion.
by - 2007-06-26 18:37:19
No....

Sorry douchebag, but I paid hard cash for that damn game, at 12:01 am on launch day (or apparently what i thought was launch day), and I think it bites. Definitely hope the movie doesn't flop out like the game did
by - 2007-06-26 18:38:21
Its sucks because of piracy

That's *****in foolish. The pleasure of spending money for something that sucks doesn't make the thing suck less.

Down low

It will require higher fireware versions 3.10/3.30/3.40 i believe bacuse I tested it on 3.03 and it didn't work. No doubt that the umd will come supplied with an updater.

playing the PC version NOW

im at optimus prime VS megatron level, i think this is the final mission. clocked in at around 4 hours of gameplay since start. lots of repetition due to multiple fights during long chapters. this games physics is horrible, robots never felt this floaty ever and even in vehicle mode it still feels like riding a boat or hovercraft. i have to stop because during megatron and optimus prime's final battle the screen wont stop quaking/shaking even if you place yourself away from battle the camera still jiggles, feel like optimus prime has some eye/balance defect of some sort. aside from pretty graphics only fans will enjoy this rushed game. if you have another game to play STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAP GAME. oh and another note DONT EVEN TRY ON PLAYING THE PSP VERSION ITS MUCH MUCH CRAPPY. i give this game a 3 out of 10, i give spiderman 3 pc a 2 out of 10.
by - 2007-06-30 10:50:02
hmmn

30 dollars i would gladly pay for puzzle quest, but in this game 20 dollars is a dumb purchase. this is a very crappy game. 2 big flying decepticons and all the army and police in the world versus you puny autobot car nd your in for a world of pain and tears. believe me when i say this game will make most children CRY. and the camera is so out of focus and jiggly i pretty much prefer spiderman 3's annoying camera.

just partially recovering from the trauma

i want to extend my sympathy to those poor people that bought the psp version, it s-u-c-k so much that it isnt even worth 5 bucks. the pc/console version is a little better than the psp one but still is CRAP. and i can now imagine the movie rating for Transformers sadly a 3 out of 10.
by - 2007-06-30 11:27:54
INFO
