    Default Transformers game

    Before any of you get your hopes up I am talking about the game that was released around the time of the movie.

    There is a decepticon who is an extra boss you fight in one of the levels. I think at the time I was either bumblebee or jazz. This particular character was made into a tripple changer for the game. His three modes were: apache gunship, a howitzer type cannon and of course the robot mode. He was aptly named SHOCKWAVE. Now obviously the game designers can "play" with expand a bit more in regards to character's etc as apposed to the film where the narrative and more importantly the budget have an influence on how and what can be used.

    I would just thought I would let you all know about this addition to the game as it answers a long awaited question of mine and that was "will shockwave ever make an appearance again?"
    Even though he didn't really say much it was a great way to show him as a tripple changer and more or less bring him back from the dark ages.

    Ya I have the game for xbox 360 and the shockwave fight was while you play Optimus. You chase him through the city to try and stop him from distroying the city.

    I'm leery about getting this game because I've heard so-so reviews about it.

    And it's not multiplayer on the 360.
    I'm a dog chasing cars. I don't know what I'd do if I caught one. I don't have plans. I just do things. I'm not a schemer.

    I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments.

    I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger.

    The game was horrible to say good things about it. I found myself wanting to beat levels in it because I was hoping the next level would be better than the crappy level that I was on. Every level was pretty much the same... good graphics thats all I can say positively about the thing.

    It wasn't worth my valuable time to find cheat codes and re-experience the game.

    I traded the game in after they made me fight Blackout and Starscream at the same time with Jazz. What the Hell kind of fight is that?!

    Kids love it. A extremely hard core fan would own it. Other than thats it sucks. It was made by the people that did the Lego SW, Travelers Tales(?). So you see what happens when its rushed from a company that can make good games especially for kids.

    That was easy, you take on starscream first and then worry about blackout. To take him down you had to throw cars at him when his health got low enough. There is some strategy involved instead of just mindless blasting.

    That is a bit harsh. TT usually make decent games, they did after all do crash bandicoot and lego star wars. And the soon to be released lego batman and indiana jones.

    Okay, I must be the only one who like it then <-- any supporters of the game? Hello? *Waves*

    I have it on PS2 and PSP and I like the PS2 version better. I really enjoy running around finding the cubes and doing the sub-missions (though some were infuriating! Like the hunt one.) I realise that the levels where pretty much the same - search, drive, fight... and I especially loved playing as a Decepticon - Blackout and Starscream are total badasses and I love Blackout's heavy fire weapon.

    And I'm no kid either at 30, just not a picky gamer. This is one game I can repeat playing, but I haven't been able to get 100% so that has left me miffed but eh!

    The game was average at best, I completed it, then I traded it in cause its not a game that has a go back and play factor IMO.

    I never said I didn't like it. It is a good game, however it is not as good as the transformers armada game that was released on ps2. Now that was great, massive lush levels, minicons everywhere.........If only they took some notes from that one.

    Just as a side note (pm back would be better to prevent this thread going of course) have you played killzone?

    Me, being an Xbox owner, cant hire out the Armada game, but my mates has a PS2 and we hired it out, it i so cool! The Levels are HUGE! Interaction was great. Soo fun. Especially the minicons! LOL So cool. But the new game i found, well - im not a hardcore gamer lol, so it was hard for me to get use to on 360 Eek. lol. But the levels were small [in a sense] As they have that BattleArea thingy. And the mission where pretty much "Destroy [Put Another Transformers name here] "

    Armada all the way. New Movie all the way! New Game.. no thanks.

    I hated the Transformers Game. I didn't match up to the film. I hated how everything was timed. It would have been better if there was more fighting and less running around, IMO.

    I have the ps2 version..most likely the same as ps3 or x-box. Average game....but so are most movie games.......(with the exception of "From Russia with Love" That was an excellent game). I was dissapointed that frenzy or Brawl/ Devastator were not playable characters

    The wife got me the psp version as well, and it sucked ass.....


    Anyway, the game writers should make another transformers game not based on the movie.......perhaps explore the use of the justice league /marvel ultimate alliance engine for some levels. I like the use of different combo attacks and power ups. First/third person shooter and driving modes could be used in other levels.

    What about a "Transfromers: Victory" based game?

    And the "movie game" was just an "addition to the movie" Yeah, it was cool to play Blackout, or Barricade, but they all were so alike each other Where are spinning blades of Barricade? Where're cool movements of Jazz? Why Brawl and Bonecrusher were not playable?? Where's Frenzy, my fav???

    I still hope to see really cool game based on "Transformers 2".

    I've downloaded the demo for my pc so that I could see how the game looked. Well it's not a great game, maybe that's early said because I only played the demo, but I guess it is.

    That game rocked! I was fortunate to be working as a reviewer for a magazine when it was released and my boss, and friend, gave it to me to review some time before it was released. He was only going to give me 1500 letters but I whined and whined cause it was fracking Transformers and I ended up having a full page review with cool pictures and all!
    Now if I could only get my PS2 repaired (or if Sony could undo the retarded removal of the PS3 backwards compability so it would be worth spending all that money on it) so I can play Transformers again ^^

    Even if you're talking about "Prelude to Energon", I think it's not a good idea. That game was cool, eh, but to make "new tf game more like that one"?... IMHO remake is never good. I'd better play "Prelude to Energon" once more.

    New must be new IMHO. And as I said I still hope to see really cool Transformers game. New game.

    The game came out before the movie.
    Of course it wasn't going to have the same storyline so it would prevent ruining the actual movie story line since the game hit the shelves a few months before the movie came out.
    Thought the game was awesome. I'm just eager for another to play.
