  • Summary: Based on the 2007 live-action feature film, Transformers: The Game lets gamers control the outcome in the battle for Earth as they choose to protect it as Autobots or destroy it as Decepticons. Players experience the unstoppable power and massive scale of their favorite Robots in DisguiseBased on the 2007 live-action feature film, Transformers: The Game lets gamers control the outcome in the battle for Earth as they choose to protect it as Autobots or destroy it as Decepticons. Players experience the unstoppable power and massive scale of their favorite Robots in Disguise such as BumbleBee, Barricade and others. As the Transformers robot's war comes to Earth, gamers make the choice to join the Autobots in protecting our planet or to join the Decepticons in destroying it. With dual campaigns, the fate of the world is in players' hands. Instantly change from a larger than life robot to a high-powered vehicle such as a sports car, fighter jet or helicopter. Players crush, topple and wreck every object, including buildings and vehicles, in their path or use the objects as weapons. An unprecedented line-up lets gamers experience the massive scale, unique abilities and sheer strength of an army of characters from the Transformers universe when they choose to play as Optimus Prime, Megatron, Ironhide, Starscream, BumbleBee and more. For head-to-head battles, fans engage in melee combat that reflects each Transformers robot's character, scale, weight and power along with melee weapons and special moves unique to each character. The game's ranged combat offers a wide array of projective weapons designed to take out enemies from afar. [Activision]… Expand

    Transformers: The Game is like the Prom Queen from the nerd's perspective. She's really very beautiful and engaging, but trying to get your hands on her is a maddening adventure. If you do get your hands on her you can't share with friends (1 player only), and you might not want a second date after that first experience.

    It’s not that this game is terrible, just kind of unimpressive and full of things that have been done better elsewhere.

    It’s about on par with all other movie licensed games: relatively short, decent graphics, decent gameplay, and not much value to it.

    With this subject matter it could've been great, but all the noise and effects in the galaxy can't disguise the lack of invention or class. [Aug 2007, p.82]

    Transformers: The Game should be a sleek, cutting-edge sports car; instead, it's an old beater whose driver's seat has a spring sticking out in exactly the wrong place.

    This is the epitome a game that was quickly thrown together with the most basic and juvenile concepts videogaming has.

    As far as summer movie licensed video games go, Transformers is sadly one of the worst we've seen this year. While the movie stands, the video game most definitely falls.

    This game isn't perfect, but it's good enough to be essential.

    It's overall a decent Transformers game, and there's even some fun to be had just by simply fighting opposing Robots until one of them ends upIt's overall a decent Transformers game, and there's even some fun to be had just by simply fighting opposing Robots until one of them ends up in the scrap heap, and the story is said to be better than the movie by a little bit. But there are a few downsides to the game.
    Causing destruction is honestly way too damn easy (Great for Decepticons, horrific for Autobots), vehicle controls are way too loose (Driving a car-based vehicle can be horrendous), depending how well you do you may end up finishing the game in no-time, and action could have been better.
    The main issue is that there isn't much depth to the game as there could've been to make it something spectacular.

    I'd recommend this game to anyone who is just looking to have a good Transformers experience and is satisfied with just bashing Deception/Autobot heads. Just don't expect there to be much.    … Expand
