    Such a bad game, bad gameplay, bad graphics. the game is too short, if it was a little bit longer it was funnier. but the game is boring and hard!

    There are hardly any redeeming features in this game. The camera sucks, sounds have nothing in them, graphics is ugly, especially in the cut scenes, there are frame rate problems and the game becomes repetitive within the first fifteen minutes.

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

    Because of a lack of content, such as 2 player and any at all unlock able features such as missions or characters, this game is good for the 1 round than back to the store. talk about no features...their isnt even a difficulty setting !!

    There's only few movie-based games that are realy good- Peter Jackson's King Kong, Spider-Man 2, and Transformers.

    I'm an oldskool Transformers fan (my car even has the numberplate DCEPTICON). This was really disappointing. There's no real fun factor unlike the previous 'Battle For Energon' game which two years later I still return to.

    pros: good graphics, free roam, slow-motion action, cool transformers. cons: vehicle handling is iffy, no sense of weight, action could have been better, lacks eye-candy, lighting is uneven, no (fun) multiplayer. OVERALL: a good game but lacks depth and could have a lot better.

    This is the worst movie licensed game I have had the distinct displeasure of playing. Starting with the few positives, the transformation animations of the robots do look great, as do the graphics generally in the game. You can play through the entire story from either the Autobots of Decepticons which is also neat and would have been a fantastic addition of the game was enjoyable.

    The guns every character is equipped are useless against any enemy with a shield, which ends up being the majority of the enemies in the game. The three melee moves your character can do do not make a combat system, sorry.

    The enemy AI is incredibly cheap and will spam their guns at you resulting in knock-backs which can be enfuriating. The voice acting in this game is equally awful with overdone acting and no effort aimed at a coherent plot, no inclusion of even the movie's basic plot structure.

    This game is garbage. For a great Transformers game, play the one simply titled "Transformers", or War for Cybertron, those games were made with time and care behind them, and it shows when playing them. This movie tie-in is a cash grab hardly worthy of the 5 dollar Best Buy bargain bins.    … Expand

    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 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.

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

    Transformers: The Game is a big, loud, shallow action game that severely lacks in content.

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