    For a licensed game, I think the developers have done a very good job of creating a unique game experience that lets you experience the source material in two completely different ways. With an innovative multiplayer function, unique story mode, and good technical specs, Transformers: Decepticons looks like it may be so good it's evil.

    Transformers: Decepticons is a very entertaining mid-summer treat for DS fans everywhere, especially for those who tire of always having to save the day.

    This game may not be a pillar of innovation or creativity, but it is fun. The combat is straightforward and the single player campaign is short, but fans will definitely have a good time here. The game is structured very well for a handheld platform and there’s enough replayability to keep you coming back for a while.

    When it comes to fighting as the robot or the vehicle, Transformers DS falls flat. The action and its technique really needs a bit of a tune-up, especially in the "defense" department, and the glitches that pop up from time to time are really hard to ignore.

    At the end of the day, Decepticons comes out feeling half-baked.

    This is a game specifically for fans, and even then I'd mention specifically fans of the new Transformers... or Peter Cullen.
  7. AceGamez

    The broken controls of shooting, fighting and strafing coupled with monotonous "Destroy 'X' amount of enemies" missions and ridiculous enemy respawns makes Transformers: Decepticons nothing more than a chore.

The story is great.This is undoubtedly one of the most criminally underrated video games ever. There is so much I can say about this game. The story is great. The voice acting is absolutely phenomenal. The gameplay is fun. Nostalgia I have for this game be damned it’s still amazing even 15 years later. I enjoyed seeing how the protagonist’s loyalty evolves as he spends time with Barricade, Blackout and Brawl. I loved seeing the comradery that developed between the protagonist and Barricade. Seeing Starscream’s treachery being a legitimate threat rather than a joke as often in different Transformers media was a real treat. I highly HIGHLY recommend this game to any Transformers fan out there. You will not be disappointed. I implore anyone reading this to play this game and it’s counterpart. Easy 10/10… Expand
