    From what I heard, I thought this game was good enough for a rent. Was I ever wrong!! This game sucked ass, and I never played this game ever again. The missions are somewhat okay, but they mostly suck anyhow. The graphics are good and all, but the gameplay is where is all falls down: camera sucks, combat sucks, weapons don't do much, getting from point A to B on certain times is From what I heard, I thought this game was good enough for a rent.

The graphics are good and all, but the gameplay is where is all falls down: camera sucks, combat sucks, weapons don't do much, getting from point A to B on certain times is both frustrating and ridiculous. Bottom line: this game may look like it's worth a rental, but in actuality, it really is not worth your time and money.… Expand

    This game has no point. The camera control is a ridiculous idea. Why would I want to control the camera? I want to point and shoot, and actually do something. The time of the linear game with no point is over. It peaked with super mario bros. to all game companies out there; let it go! This should have been a great game, I mean its transformers, and you should be able to do anything you This game has no point. The camera control is a ridiculous idea.

    This is defenitily one of the worst games i ever played. That camera is ridiculous!! it is really annoying when i played the game! The voice acting was also bad,I was forced to turn the volume up so i could hear it!! Gameplay is also boring and repetitive. And the game has only like: 6 levels in each storyline! that's to short for a game that costs 60 dollars! Also sometimes the This is defenitily one of the worst games i ever played.

Also sometimes the levels were to difficult, especially in the autobots racing levels.(not to mention the driving was horrible!) So conclusion: Do not buy this game it is horrible don't waste your cash buying it!… Expand

    The camera just flat out killed this game, plus Activision already proved with Ultimate Alliance that they can make a Wii port with good camera control.

    This is by far the worst game I have ever played it is a disgrace to gaming I hope I never have to play this again. This is just another company looking for people to buy a game because it is based on a movie.

    I recieved this game as a gift and I felt obliged to play it. Every moment I wasted playing this game Activision should pay me back, as it was surely a waste of my life.

    I hate games where the remote controls the camera view (e.g. Metroid 3).

    This game is sooooooooo weak, the only reason I gave it a 1 is bc it was a gift and I feel bad giving it 0.

    The game is an entertaining diversion, a passable rental that you will probably have little interest in playing again. Graphics: The Transformers look decent, but the entire game looks like you're playing the 360 version with blurry eyesight. The smoke effects look good...if the game was cel-shaded. The explosions are decent looking. Sound: The effects are good. The dialouge and The game is an entertaining diversion, a passable rental that you will probably have little interest in playing again. Graphics: The Transformers look decent, but the entire game looks like you're playing the 360 version with blurry eyesight. The smoke effects look good...if the game was cel-shaded. The explosions are decent looking. Sound: The effects are good. The dialouge and voices are not. For the transformers, during the cutscenes, it sounds like they were sitting 5 feet away from the microphone and have a cold. Controls: the scheme is decent enough, and it's pulled off in a good enough way. However, sometimes it's extremely clunky, especially for the airborne decepticons. The camera could be better as well. Gameplay: As I mentioned, an entertaining diversion. It gets frustrating here and there, and you could tell it was rushed. But if you're bored one day and at your Blockbuster with nothing else to rent, or if you're at a store in a couple years with only 5 dollars and see the game in the 5 dollar or less bin, give it a look.… Expand

    You love to destroy stuff, you love the movie, the game is worth it. It takes a while to get used to it, though, but its a really cool game.

    This game is awesome!!! you get to be awesome robots with cool designs and in an enviroment where one shot at building could cause serious damage. My favourite part about the game on wii is that you get to make up your own style of punches. My Favourite character in this whole game is Megatron, in my view he has the best design and is the most lethal.

    Boy do I wish I looked at the reviews on this site before I bought this game. I loved the movie but they butchered the game. Most of the problem is in the camera controls, which is what I would have learned if I checked this site first. Everyoen is right, the camera is so bad that it about entirely kills the experience.

Story is good, missions are good, graphics are good, but the game plays like crap due to the camera and is much more frustrating than anything else as a result. Even if I don't like a game I usually wouldn't rate it this low, but the camera makes this feel broken. Broken meand LOW score. BAD game, do not bother.… Expand

    Transformers is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time and as usual most movie based games don't do that good, but this is an exception that I would say is the best game of the bunch

    A big, loud, shallow action game that severely lacks in content.

    A fully-destroyable environment makes for a ton of collateral damage during fights, and nearly any piece of the environment can be picked up and used as weapon should the need arrive. It’s simple, shallow, but still entertaining at times. This may not be the Transformers game we were hoping for, but it has its moments.

    An exciting, wild ride of explosions, falling buildings, and cars tumbling end-over-end through the air. But, behind all the noise and confusion, it’s a shallow, short, and simplistic game.
