3.0 out of 5 stars Grows boring too quickly, June 27, 2007

By	N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

As with most movie based video game tie-in's and licensed games, Transformers looks great at first but quickly degenerates into monotony. Based on the mega budget, live action film adaptation directed by Michael Bay and featuring Hasbro's long running line of toys, Transformers allows you to play as either the heroic Autobots or the evil Decepticons, as the civil war between the two giant robotic races comes to Earth. The first thing you'll notice is that the Transformers themselves are very well detailed and animated, which helps take away from noticing how bland the backgrounds and areas are. For a late in life PS2 game, the game features some great robot animations that make it worth checking out alone for longtime Transformers fans. After that though, things kind of go downhill. Even if you play both the Autobot and Decepticon modes, you'll find the game as a whole is incredibly short. Not to mention that when playing as one of the Transformers that can transform into a car, driving controls are quite sticky. The biggest flaw of Transformers though comes from the fact that the overall game just gets boring way too quickly for it's own good. The missions are basically all the same thing, and even though the Decepticons have a mission that involves just blowing stuff up, it's not enough to save the game from movie tie-in mediocrity. Combine this with the schizoid camera angles and you get the overall picture. Negatives aside, Transformers does offer some positives. For starters, there is some great voice acting to be heard thanks to featuring the voices of the original cartoon's Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen, who also voices Prime in the film) and Megatron (Frank Welker, replaced by Hugo Weaving for the film), along with the film's star Shia LaBeouf as well. All in all, if you are a Transformers fan, young or old, the Transformers game is worth checking out, but it goes without saying not to expect anything remotely great out of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST. GAME. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, August 7, 2007

By	Cynthia Willis "C Willis" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Holy mess....
Of all the hundreds of games I have bought, played, or rented, this one and guitar hero 2 are by far the best, hands down.
Now I'll admit, there are a few odd things about it, even for this genre of games(cars flying 20 feet when you barely hit them while in vehicle mode? INVINCIBLE TREES?!?!?!). Also, the movie makes the robots seems practically invincible, with their only weakness being excessive heat, but in the game they are easily defeated by mere tanks and cops with pistols.

But aside all that, this game is CRAZY GOOD! The characters are fun to play (despite the fact that the 2 coolest decepticons, Bonecrusher and the tank guy are unplayable), the replayable missions are not too hard and not too easy, the weapons and attacks are both powerful and destructive, and the destructable environment provides good, not-so-clean fun.

11/10

4.0 out of 5 stars If you liked Spidy, You'll like Transformers, July 24, 2007

By	Juan Vasquez - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

Since both are from activision, you can't ask too much of a game, but it has the same feeling as playing spiderman, only you don't have to make and repeat stupid tasks. Vehicle mode is like ALL vehicle games, nasty and supersensible control, like Bond from EA imposible to control the car.
If you are not a gamer and don't play games for a living, you'll find it entertaining. Graphic are better than at least Spidey 2, Game it gets boring if you are seating for 5 hours playing, not if you play a mission or 2 daily. I gave it 4 stars, just because its an activision game, you know you can get something better from EA or Konami.
