2.0 out of 5 stars it sucks to say this... August 1, 2007

By M. Mesina

Platform for Display:PlayStation 3

Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   

But this game sucks.

I'm a diehard transformer fan and a PS3 fan as well, but i would hate to lie and say this game was anywhere close to good because it's so close to being the most awful and annoying game on the PS3-EVER!!

- The missions are boring, simple and not planned very well. (This game was definately rushed, because it had alot of potential.

- I thought i was the only one having sound problems, but after reading other peoples reviews it seems like i'm not alone.

- The controls suck! especially when you're driving. Talk about understeer and then a sudden oversteer makes the mission absolutely annoying. I dont expect it to be a grand turismo, but the programmers making this game were very confused on wether they wanted the driving to feel simulated or arcade-like...

- Trying to drive, and trying to lock onto the enemy is frustrating as hell.

- Transforming is cool, but it gets old when everything is so damn frustrating.

- A.I is horrible. Talk about dumb enemy robots!

Activision, from my point of view, makes decent games. Not great games but decent. But this one is a total failure in my book.

I'm glad i rented it, and i'm hoping you do too before buying it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Transformers Fans June 30, 2007

By D. Harris

Platform for Display:PlayStation 3

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

This is a fun game. It's not very complicated, but there' enough for Transformers fans to keep you entertained for a while. As a comparison, this game is very similar to Simpson's Hit & Run. There are plenty of side missions and things to do that provide a good change of pace.

The game does come up a bit short in a few areas. The camera never seems to be pointing where it needs to be. The Bonus material is weak (especially the photo gallery). The instruction manual is bad and a lot of things are left up to you to figure out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Son loves it January 27, 2013

By Laynie

My son plays this game frequently. He enjoys it more than most of the other games he had. I would recommend for children who have a good understanding of how their console controller works because it is action heavy and can be difficult if the kid is unsure which buttons to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it if you are a Transformers fan... A little bit like Grand Theft Auto III November 23, 2007

Here's are the positives:

- controls relatively easy to learn

- your weapons and health automatically recharge over time

- you can REALLY and TRULY destroy just about anything in the game (my favorite so far: wiping out Decepticons by swinging a ginormous swordfish!)

- think of this game as a really good Mech game (compared to what else is out there), with strong similarities to Grand Theft Auto III's go-anywhere-and-blast-anyone gameplay, including the driving-around-the-city part. My advice is to screw off on doing the missions (going where they tell you), and instead just drive / fly around crashing into cars and buses and launching missles at the helicopters, etc. GREAT button-mashing fun (a la what I would always do late at night on GTA).

Here are the negatives:

- no multi-player

- limited number of Transformers (I want old ones!!)

- the graphics are decent, but not as shiny-beautiful as other games (like Heavenly Sword, etc.). Still, they are not bad...

- some people have said that the game is relatively short... well, I guess that depends on whether you play games for 8 hours a day, or more like 1 hour a day. I think it's a fine length, and I hope for a sequel with the OLD Transformer vehicles!!

- some people have complained that when using HDMI, they aren't getting any audio. My advice: buy a digital audio cable and run it through your receiver. Hopefully this will help. (works fine with my Dolby Digital).

Overall, at the very least, give this a rental, and just spend half-an-hour driving around blasting things before you just this game. You will see that fun factor.
