3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been so much better if more time had been put into it, July 1, 2007

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

Unlike the console versions of mega budget feature film video game tie-in, Transformers for the DS has been split into two different games that reflect the warring robot sides. The Decepticon version of Transformers for the DS allows you to play as the evil Megatron and his team of Decepticons as they battle the heroic Autobots on Earth. The best thing about Transformers: Autobots and Decepticons respectively is that you will get a different gaming experience out of both versions, even though there are plenty of mirrored core mechanics to be found as well. First off, you'll notice that the robots themselves look great and are nicely rendered as well. Not to mention that scanning other vehicles is a nice touch, and the open world environments (while limited) are nicely done as well. The overall presentation of Transformers: Decepticons is great, but what really hurts the game is the assortment of bugs and glitches (particularly here with the Decepticons version when playing as one of the fliers) that you'll come across when playing. The game's camera can also be unforgiving, and the environments are lacking in overall detail. Despite all that though, Transformers: Decepticons manages to succeed in the departments it could have easily failed in like so many licensed, movie tie-in video games often do. In that respect alone, Transformers: Decepticons, as well as the Autobots version, are worth checking out for Transformers fans and DS owners alike.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, September 24, 2008

By	Sterling Foote "Sterling" (Todd, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I recently bought this game Transformers Decepticons for DS
I didn't know much about it and i thought it would be a game like Spiderman 2 for DS, luckily, i was wrong.
It seemed more like The Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction, except you can not destroy buildings and it has DS graphics, of course.
The good things i found in this game are the ability to scan and become pretty much every vehicle in the game, you could grab almost anything and use it as a weapon. And you get guns. A lot of guns. Well more like rockets.
I also liked becoming a jet or helicopter, and flying around town, hunting every autobot down.
Overall this a great kids game, and can provide hours of fun. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Impressive Game, December 3, 2007

By	Silent Slayer - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I Purchased this game because of the high ratings and the supposed "Challenge". I underestimated this game. The Graphics are amazing. The game is pretty challenging. One of my favorite touches is that you can have your own character. I made my Decepticon a Brown and Green attack helicopter and it is totally ausome. The only downside of this game is the camera, it can be extremely unmerciful. This is a highly reccomended game. I don't know where everybody else is getting these glitches, I have played this for 5 hours straight and not 1 glitch. The Decepticon edition has exclusive desert levels which I think are ausome. This is a must buy game for anyone and everyone!!!
