 Not to it's full potential June 28, 2007

I bought this game the first day it came out and spent the majority of the evening playing it. I was almost halfway done with it. These are my comments after playing first as an Autobot.
The game lets you decide if you will be an Autobot or Decepticon. I beat the game first as an Autobot.
This game isn't bad. I wish I could have given it 3 and a half stars.
The good-
- I love the ability to transform when you want
- The sounds and the shacking of the cam when you run can be fun and impressive. Especially when you walk, you leave cracks as footprints
The bad-
- For the PS3 version and for as much hype as this game (or the movie) was anticipated, it did not live up to it
- The graphics are ok, but not the best.
- Handling and drivability of the autobots are difficult
- You play as two of the smaller ones the majority of the time
- The missions are a bit cheezy
- The weapons that they give you are almost useless. You are better off picking up things and throwing them
- One button to push to fight
- The environments are small
- You only play as Prime twice (well three times, but the "extra mission" you can't transform
I'm going home this evening to play as the Decepticon, hopefully I won't beat it in one day or a day in a half as well.
With little effort, this is a simple game to beat.
 A Must Have for Transformers Fans June 30, 2007

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.
One of the better movie to game crossovers.... June 29, 2007

We all know the stigmas placed on games based on film franchises......many are well deserved. However, I do think this particular game shakes alot of that.....
First off, you play in an open enviorment which has easy to identify mission "markers" to move the story along. As others have said, you can choose to be an autobot or decepticon, I choose decepticon, because I wanted to destroy an enviorment that was touted a fully destructible....was it? Yes, it was. Does it look good....yes. How was the gameplay? Well, there's just something about cruising along in the form of a PaveLow chopper and at will converting to a 40 ft bipedal mechanical menace......very cool. In terms of graphics, on the PS3, it's solid. Won't completely blow you away, won't disappoint either. The weapons on the machines themselves can be used in robot of vehicle form, and the character animations on the transfomers themselves are fluid, not clunky, which is the same as in the new film, I hear. And transforming is a blast....havent gotten sick of it yet. If you looking for a solid game, a little GTA style, open enviorments, blowing the hell out of anything and everything you see(and some things you don't see) then this is definitely a game you might want to check out, even as a weekend rental. I bought it simply because there are a good amout of unlockables etc, also the levels are big enough to roam around in and do alittle exploring, or better yet, just, well, destroy...
 it sucks to say this... August 1, 2007

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!
 What else could you ask for June 26, 2007

You can choose from a slew of Transformers, Autobots or Decepticons! You can protect or destroy, and Transform at will. When it come to a Transformer game this is the best yet. Graphics are amazing in HDTV and not a difficult game to play. I have yet to determine the depth of the game but so far its a blast being able to destroy just about everything on the screen, unlike other games where you could only brek a box or something. My only wish is that I wish it was based more on the original G1 characters than the new movie ones. Check it out you won't be disappointed!!
