GameSpot Review: Transformers

[Hiptanistic]

they thought this game did better than War for cybertron. That's how bad gamespot's reviews are...

[Kingopersia]

aside from a few exceptions (Riddick, Spiderman) why do movie games suck!? it's so strange how a game that has the same things as a movie in it are not good!? what's up with that

[ZuttoAragi]

Based on results over the years, I think High Moon should be the only people allowed to make TF games since even DOTM was pretty good, not as good as WFC but still good.

[GaminGHunTer96]

hahaha xbox 360 ........... press L2 ?!

[lucazade12345678910]

love the way it says xbox360 in the corner and in the middle of the screen it says press R2 ? rofl

[GordonBdesign]

While the reviewer thinks he's cool for taking the piss out of a multi-million pound franchise. He's the sad act who gets payed peanuts to review it for a company trying to be IGN LOL

[someone2121996]

0:20

GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE SCREEN I WANNA SEE GODDAMNIT

[ChaosDemon2]

I've played flash games 10x better than this, and by the end of it all, i demanded my time back.

[coolsauce14]

this game if pretty fun but i agree it is pretty repetitive but fun

[purplefizz100]

one of the best games i ever played so fun and starsream is cool

[coolsauce14]

@purplefizz100 dude i so agree

[brucewayne264]

the only thing they got right is the character design and the explosions. every other aspect is forged in the flames of rushness

[MarioFan124]

"Which is sort of the lifeforce thing for transformers, I guess." Well said. XD

[seansfc]

Kill all humans

[thefalloutkid13]

this game could have been alot more but the main problem is that it was just rushed and no care was put into it. if there was just a bit more time spent on it would have been a pretty fun game to play once in a while

[MrMrfazle]

bad game

[eschelar]

If I see one more game where they use Nitro in a ridiculous and stupid way like in this game, I will eat my own spleen.

WTF would bumblebee need with Nitrous? He's an INTERGALACTIC ROBOT with a near inexhaustible power supply!

GAH!

[Luigipwns19]

This game was a hard sunovabitch!

[TheAdam1995]

It's a decent game. In my opinion, it's fun. Not as bad as the PS2 version of Revenge of the Fallen which actully was'nt as bad as people said.

[KQbarcelona]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better then the second.

[Wass0o7]

this game.... FUCKIN SUCKS!!!

[McLovin123ify]

He said it all, movie games always feel kinda rushed

[kevinshin100]

WHEN I was at the hoover dam, the cooling fans suck because i just destroyed 2 fans.ONLY 2 fans. when i am bored, i play optimus vs shock wave.

[drunkmario53]

I got the shitty ds version and since then i thought all transformers games sucked too but this.....this is good. fuck

[Teeheehee093]

it was good enough definetly better then the 2nd game without the decepticons it would be shit i loved going around as starscream destroying the military

[Watchman246]

Transformers 2 is way better than this (I haven't played war for cybertron yet). None of the enemies can shield themselves and the graphics are much better.

[Watchman246]

you see in this game you rely more on your melee attacks rather than shooting because most of the enemies shield your bullets or missiles. I mean what's the point of adding shooting to a game if it's useless to your enemies

[UROSSSSSSSSSSSZ8]

The game was not that bad,actually it was good.If developers had more time to do it,I am sure game would be much better.Stupid Activision...

[barco10001]

This video sucks and the man too

[SuperQuilty]

So where's the review

[Hexcus]

There's a mistake at 1:07. You can see that there is Xbox 360 in the bottom left. Then it says that press L2 button to nitro, but in Xbox, there is no L2 button.

[quasarvega]

@Hexcus yes there is löl

[nerftendo005]

I can't believe that these people only gave War for Cybertron 0.5 higher than this. This game is terrible, War for Cybertron is awesome!

[nerftendo005]

Wow, those are some of the worst graphics I've seen on 360 & PS3. Unfortunately, according to what this guy is saying, the rest of the game has about the same amount of quality.

[gbsons]

lol it sounds like hes really tring to say"this game sucks" over and over and over.

[OnThinIce57]

what does this have to do with Jason Mraz? Youtube is weird sometimes.

[GTASAmovies1]

Movie games (almost) always suck ass, because they have to make those games in such a short time cause they simply want to cash-in into the whole hype if the movie becomes a big hit

[InfiniteD3ath]

one of the most boring games i have ever played

[Zuluhn]

Too bad the controlling sucks so much.. when u drive as bumblebee the controlling is WAAAY too good since if u wanna go to the right it almost makes a U turn

[1990musicboy]

explosieven sijn very nice vocking lol

[RowdyRodimus]

"You do the same repietitive combat over and over again"

So it's pretty much like any action game from Castlevania to God of War?

[randomenvelope]

yes the transformers games are the only games that I have found actually okay movie games, toy story 2 was pretty good movie game, any other movie game like any disney movie game was just flat out horrible.

[LazloHouse]

@MaxPlanck011 your ugly fat and boring

[madboy5566]

this game isnt bad...it's not bad

[WWJEREMY1998]

Bad game.

[crazywallcrarwler]

da graphics are sick

[jamesfelix303]

game sucked. How is the second game?

[Artencot]

@jamesfelix303 second game sucks even worse,in PS2 version,you cant transform any time you want,in PS3 verison you can,but you have to hold down the R2 to stay transformed

[89Benek]

where PS2?

[jhuff2333]

the free roam is fun

[pattiemurrz21]

@adriansome but this game is bad

[XstonerXXL]

lmao wow, anger issues?

But i do have to agree that alex critizises most of the gams he reviews. But hey, some makers should work alot harder and longer to make games that you actualy keep and enjoy playing everytime, instead of mashing up files as quick as possible to make "a game" that looks bad and feels bad, just for them to make a couple of mills... all i have to say.

[Kaizer88Kanzler]

@adriansome

I don't need REVIEW if all they can blabber are just A is good B is superb C is awesome D is rockin' E is magnificent! I need review to SHOW & POINT where the bad aspect of that game that don't suit my favor & gameplay thus I can select a game based on my selection too! And if that game is SUCKS then u don't have to able to make a game to JUST SAID that the game is sucks! I respect reviewer who give & hope for A HIGH QUALITY GAME not a FANBOY CRITICS who blinded by its BIG NAME too

[360keving]

i thought transformers for the wii is class the 2nd is better but its still good

[backhand630]

Transformers 2 is awsome, compared to this, i mean i have the second but looking at the i dont want to try it lol. but in the second they put in a load of characters that aren't in the film and took aload out so that sucks! :(

[Muskrat4893]

I have to agree. The game is fun, but in short bursts. The level of fun doesn't last very long.

[snake99451]

u did not even play as all the charaters how gay the game is ok but the missions a re shit

[44vnoxw]

i luv tha free roam

[AnnaStesia]

i beat the game like 4 or 3 times and it gets boring i mean you cant choose your characters

[ThreeDotsAnimations]

good review

i didn't like this game much, it was fun at first but it got very boring. :(

[frequentgamer]

this game is horrible

You can only blow up the bottom half of tall buildings

after the first 2 levels the only thing you do is throw and melee, run away, throw, and melee.

The driving is hard to control. AND THE GOD DANG ACTION ZONE PISSES THE HECK OUTTA ME!!

the only thing that makes this good is probably the slightly sandbox environment

argh

[elcamino98]

this game is AWSOME!!!!

[dkthemovie]

This game is terrible, it's too repetitive and the cutscenes are terrible... this review is about right, i don't know why they would bother making a video review on a game this bad. The game is only fun for about 15 minutes...

[elcamino98]

stop whining about it

[MaggotRampage666]

This game was pretty okay, but the decepticon's made the game. The autobots just weren't that fun.

[Cheesegrinds2]

@MaggotRampage666 exactly, the last level of the autobots was impossible to beat

[zaidjaafar]

transformer is better than transformers 2

[GiganMan04]

I thought it was pretty good.

[NDSCollector]

this game is fantastic

[DragKiingX2000]

theres  nothing good about this game

[jesperjesper123]

I wont get this game that's for sure

[azerskater]

it sucked but its much better than the second one they made

[woiboi567]

The only good movie games in my opinion in the past few years are the spiderman games, x men origins wolverine, hulk(first one), and thats it.

[HotShot224499]

the game is fun untill you beat autobot and deceptacon then you wonder what the heck happend to the real story

[NorthHuffman]

i am going to be honest, i akaalis, i mean like a lot of games that are based off movies arent good :(

I guess the second transformers are okay but not much point to it.

[Akaalis]

I hate it when they make games from movies, because you always know that the effort and time they put into it is gonna be a disappointing.Those movie-based games are always bad quality and serve the purpose of profiteering the manufacturers and retailers rather than satsifying the game audience

[gayasarafe]

o ya then what about harry potter.all the games of it has been great

[hardice22]

This game is beyond gay

[darknight592]

so you cant get multiplayer on transformers 2 unless you have live?

[gayasarafe]

no multi is on pc too

[Eliterule213]

But the revenge of the fallen doesnt have free roam you have to get to your next mission in a certain time.The only fun part about it is the multi player so if you dont have a subsricption it wont be fun.

[potnude]

LOL the guy sounds bored and sarcastic.

[hellsing2311]

@potnude ugly guy

[turnermic17]

I like RC better than Jazz in Transformers 2

[flobberdobber23]

what jazz died in number 1

[kaneandtj]

ok i bet you talk to much

[kaneandtj]

i hate this game i have it i thout it was cool but it's not

[kaneandtj]

hay you do suck

[kaneandtj]

you suck

[brutechieftan]

this game wasnt bad at all. the only things that bothered me is i cant play as jazz or ironhide anymore as an autobot, weapons can barely stop another transformer, and the way Mikaela acts in it :)

[theromanianyouhate]

yeah...megan fox more like a stupid girl in this game....I like the graphics of this game but the gameplay is boring!!!

[unsm1000]

wat u mean u cnt be jazz and ironhhide anyymore, y

[masterhidsert1043]

this game is shit....

[fems97]

i played that game in xbox 360 in it realy sucks!!! dont ever buy

[videoking5567]

*look at strangely*

[NortemusVid]

does the gameplay look better?

[FiredudeG]

Don't ever get a game based on a movie unless it's star wars.

Trust me, it will dissapoint you.

[AmericanYokel]

What about Chronicles of Riddick (both Escape From Butcher Bay for Xbox and Dark Athena) or Spider-Man 3? They're not going to win any GOTY awards but they're certainly fun to play.

[hadpeami]

SM3 sucked ass.

[FiredudeG]

Well, yeah, I'm just saying that Star Wars games are usually really good, like battlefront and force unleashed. I haven't heard of those games but I'm sure that they're pretty good.

However, I was sorta referring to when you are buying games currently, I'm not sure but I think that the games you mentioned are really old, no? And the dudes who make star wars video games are still making them, and I don't really see any other gaming company making good games off of movies currently.

[BooJoMan]

Wolverine. That was a good one.

[NortemusVid]

if they're going to make a game based off of mike bays transformers, they could atleast design it to be free roam like spiderman 2/3 or the grand theft auto series, or even burnout?

[artwonder17]

you can free roam if you want

[NortemusVid]

well honestly i haven't even played it......... but every one else is giving bad reviews, and my brother even said it sucks...........

[chanze555]

This game had its moments like when you knock the shit out of optimus prime when you play as megatron and you get a evil ending. this game isnt bad but its not great either.

[kieran377]

shit short game

[JUSTINalv]

wow all u guys need to know is that when they make movie games they dont have much time to make the game perfect...some people look at games and say there shit but some people who been goin to collage and even work at game companies cant make not make anything like this game...

[Mickien14]

If youre right... then why making the game that bad... why dont make a great game because that's what counts... I have played it and i had high expectations to the game.. but eventually it got boreing and then i have wasted time and money for something that was a

disappointment...

[NortemusVid]

how did they get the chance to make the spiderman 2/3 games so good?

[uthere1]

this game was fun for a while but then u really see the ugly graphics and the crappy guns and repetitive gameplay it really got boring

[Stonatorian]

I'd play a FIRE EMBLEM-like Transformers game.

[777677467767469]

yea.. dey shud like a completely non film inspired transformers game... datd be cool fer sure since its not based on anything.... :D

[kantana22]

Can't believe  the transformations of the robot is so fast! Unlike in the movie. Especially Optimus: 30 secs of transformation!

[redbullguy698]

The game has it's moments but it's too much Rock em Sock em robots.Cmon!! the Transformers have guns but try to shoot at one and shot gets blocked!! Racing around can be a pain to with crazycamera angles and that damn timed shit blah!! Chapter failed ugh!!

[guitarkidmartin]

the other transformers game was better than this

[wickedpower6]

this game smells like ass

[TheSnipersAim]

This game was abysmall..... but what do you expect its a movie game lol.

[islandboy68]

@TheSnipersAim unfortunate because it , like iron man, has the potential to be cool. but your right it fails.

[nerftendo005]

@TheSnipersAim That depends on your definition of "abysmal". For me, it has to be unplayable to under to be abysmal. I'm not saying the game is good, though, it's still terrible.

[McGuffin56]

wow they... changed transformers alot in the movie. they look more like alien built robots

[oOMetalheadOo]

ill buy it when ill get for 10 bucks or less..

[BeamSpitter]

transformers armada the game is good too

[comton7000]

i hateds the game, wasn`t 1 of the best!

[crazyguy581]

The movie was good but the game sucked hairy shit. It was just another suck ass piece of shit disgrace game that was meant to buy off of all the hype of the Transformers Movie.

[legorocks3]

its robot grand theft auto lol

[t0d51]

FUCKING BUFFER!!!!!!!!!!

[iscrewy]

for once i kinda agree with these guys

[brohouzer]

the hardest part of this game was defeating Ironhide.

[cursedpopsicle]

wtf?! its okay, it sucks harry donkey nutsack

[dave1033a]

well said!! The game is a big steaming bag of monkey puke that has been shit on by a homeless wino with scabies!!!

[ThievingSeven]

i like the game.

[migel508]

is this open world as in  can you explore the city in this game

[Cheesepuffly]

Yep, completely.

Not to advertise, but i have some videos of it feel free to look

[d00mzda]

this game is cool he doesnt no crap about it

[jacket02I]

nah it's a bit cool but not all that great, got it on the pc - compared to gta 4, never.

[foquintha2]

My neighbour has this game. I went round to play it once but he's awful at it. So I brought it off him!

[kyacee142000]

bumblebee is a volkswagen beetle.... stupid americans

[0o0oyeah]

Ya he is but, a volkswagen beetle isn't badass.

[kyacee142000]

well it is badass in the cartoon/// bumblebee has always been the beetle// nothing can change that///they change the character to advertise the americans crappy cars!!! hahaha

[zilvertron]

They was intended to put Bumblebee as a Wolkswagen beetle, but Wolkswagen didnt wanted to be associated with fighting robots, so they had to choose from another car company, and already having some from GM, what do you do? Well, you just have to use another type of car

[edzoologist]

Wrong! They made him a Camaro so that he wouldn't be confused with Herbie.

[zilvertron]

Thats not what the Volkswagen managment said

[edzoologist]

I know that is what Micheal Bay said

[samsam114]

thats so stupid how cars just drive around and dont notice the transformers. You think they would stay away from an area explosions occuring and stuff

[frequentgamer]

the guns r pretty useless for combt since every robot can block while walking and attacking. the action zone thing sucks. pretty much they just released it to make a quick buck. (kinda like spiderman web of shadows for ps2, and spiderman 3 for ps2)

[blaa94]

This game does not belong on ps3 ..

[Starscreamer01]

ironhides the shit lol this is a great game

[YaMumsBumsGay123]

talk in ure review in big rigs please... i want to hear ure swearing

[PLETSCHEE83]

multiplayer would be kool.

[armydominican69]

i hate how unbalanced this game is, but hell its alot of fun when your juss havin a good ol-fastioned button mashing fest.... if thats even a proper sentance!!, lol game is fun, but seriously not created right, it was obviously rushed to make sum money

[cinthyalicious]

xbox360 is butter.

[phxsns1]

Mediocre on Xbox 360, PS3

Absolutely terrible on PSP

[azazel166]

fuck all the reviewers!they don't even know what the word video game is.Just don't listen to them and play the game.

[TeamSwagg14]

haha no actually azazel166 they get paid to play the game nd review it so im sure they make sure if the game is good or not. i thought this game was horrible. n nothing close to spiderman 2 & 3.i ended up selling it 4 less than i bought it 2 a friend, but i got more money than gamestop offered me XD!

[xSc4rxF4c3x]

its ok, its better than spider man and all those games, it just gets repetative :(

[qwertyuiopyakov]

WHAT i love spiderman. I hated spiderman 1 if thats at your talking about but spiderman 2 was a great and fun game

[punkboy360]

i was disappointed when i bought this game it got boring for me in like a half hour

[jshullaw]

all movies games suck

[skarmory93]

except for Spiderman 2 but apart from tht i totally agree wit u

[qwertyuiopyakov]

Yea your right

[ghostbuster56]

godfather was good

[Matochio]

your so right there they are just cheap games been rush through!

[xoxoUnoxoxo]

I traded this game in for another one because of 1 problem.... Frustration I got stuck on the part when you have to kill ironhide as blackout but it was impossiblle!!!. then I had to chase the drone as bumble bee but i coudnt catch him!! th game sucks cause its frustrating!

[tigerpaws77]

i hate it cos its all timed...

[FloatyPineapple]

This game really got burned by X360 magazine.

[mdngthby]

i have it for wii, he's right, it dosen't have a lot to the game..always the same thing over and over again+it gets boring after awhile

[davoelolz]

ive only played a demo but thought it was alright

it did get repitious after a while so I didnt buy it

[greenbrain1025]

I have this game for the ps2. This guy's right: It's only fun for a little while.

[towellie2]

ya.

[empty216]

Games of films do tend to be low detail and rushed.

[dmanlikesbacon]

scorpnoc and blackout r the most fun to play as
