4.0 out of 5 stars Beast Wars Transmetals a great game!, May 3, 2000

This review is from: Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (Video Game)

First of all, the screenshot given for this game is of the old Beast Wars PSX game, which was vastly inferior to this game.

Anyway, I own the Japanese version and it is a very good fighting game. It doesn't have really any complex combos, but still has a variety of attacks and special moves. Similar to Tekken, but you can move around freely in arenas and interact with the backgrounds (throw rocks at opponents or avoid hazards). The game is best played in difficult mode to get the best challenge, but still isn't overly complicated. All the players can transform into both beast and vehicle modes (Fuzors excluded). Several CGI movies are also contained in the game and beautifully rendered. An added bonus to the US version are four secret playable characters! And an even bigger bonus is that the REAL voice actors from the TV show were brought in to do the voices in the game!

Overall, it's a great game for TF fans and even more fun with 2 players. Die-hard fans of the fighting genre may find the gameplay simplistic and blow through it quickly, but it's a great game to combat as your favourite BW characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars BEAST WARS: TRANSMETALS., September 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (Video Game)

This game is a vast improvement over the original Beast Wars, that appeared on playstation consoles back in 1997, but there's still room for improvement.

First off, this game, like the original, was made before the show's final season, so many great characters, or better versions of existing ones, were not included, such as: Optimal Optimus, Transmetal II Megatron, Depth Charge, Transmetal II cheetor, and Transmetal II Dinobot. But what I disliked even more, was that star characters, that had been with the show since season one and two were also left out, just because they weren't 'transmetals'. And what was the deal with that unofficial transmetal rhineox?!

I also did'nt like the way the battle fields were designed. I was hoping for something in a 'third person' perspective. A game that offered a full 3-D environment, along with the ability to fly. Instead, this game offeres you flying characters that only look to hover about a foot off the ground, and the camera that's is almost always positioned at a bird's eye view.

On the positive side, the characters looked and sounded better than I expected. Besides being a little pixelated, which can be smoothed over when played on the PS2, they look very true to their t.v. show counterparts. It has also come to my knowledge that Bam! Entertainment will be making a 'NEW BEAST WARS GAME' for PLAYSTATION 2! It's been delayed now for over a year, but is rumored it could be hitting the stores sometime in 2002! I just hope this new 128-bit incarnation, if it ever comes out, will feature EVERY version of EVERY character that ever appeared in Beast Wars, along with fighting arenas that offer battles in the air, underwater, as well as on the ground. Becaust if this new PS2 game is released, it could likely be the last Beast Wars game ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beast Wars, October 3, 2000

"skalez" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (Video Game)

I think the title sums up the game quite nicely, but for all you unbelivers... This game, based off of 8 Transmetal Transformers; is an edge of your seat fighting game. Controling your character as far as fighting and using special weapons is easy and not difficult. Stratagy is the key, to know when to block, when to move and especially when to tap a keg on the enemy's head. The only reason this review isnt a five is because I do wish the game was a little longer and included two or four more popular Beast Wars charaters.
