1UP Transformers Review

Transformers is one of the most poorly designed games to hit consoles this year. How they could take something as intrinsically cool as giant transformable robots fighting each other and make such a broken, mediocre game is a question for the ages.

Komrad6142d ago

The cover is almost the same as their bionicle game, which also scored below average, guess some missed that hint.

no_more_heroes6142d ago

That right there is enough reason to know that the game will be absolute crap.

Maddens Raiders6142d ago

would rather watch PBS for 8 hours straight than play it. Horrible. I give it a 2/5 only because "TRANSFORMERS" is printed on the box; otherwise 0/5.

razer6142d ago

and I completely agree with you Madden. Some of the worst camera control I've ever seen and the human characters and car models look absolutely horrible. The destructable environments are nice and I do like the robot melee battles, but that hardly makes up for all that is lacking in this game. Transformers could be such a huge franchise in games with a rich story and it was a damn shame to see it wasted like this (again). Give this IP over to someone like Insomniac or Epic and actually get serious about it.

Maddens Raiders6142d ago (Edited 6142d ago )

it seems to happen time and time again. If the Games to Movies don't suck, then surely the Movies to Games will. Why can't anyone do either one of these right?

On topic -
This game blows and I hate that I forgot it @ home when I picked up Sigma today, but I guarantee you it will be returned to GameStop.
Note: When you you see this game: Transform and roll out in the opposite direction.

@MK below - don't even waste your time man. If you enjoy your collection now, DO NOT add this to the list ~ just keep on playing what you've got.....better yet save that money and buy Sigma unless your tired of the series already. Me, I likes. =]

TruthHurts6142d ago

I'm not saying its a good game but 4!? I think it deserves 5 or 6 but I haven't played it yet. Maybe they're right.

C'mon MS find those games on whatever hard drive they're hidden on.

There's a few transformers games from Activision I missed out or didn't finish. Would love to come back to them at some point if they appear on GP.

Sonyslave3272d ago

Just remake the war for cybertron and the fall

“Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building. When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating.”

By Unicron’s beard, find them! 😳

Dwarrior271d ago

Does Activision still have the rights? I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores.

I didn't really look into it at the time.

P_Bomb271d ago

I thought so too, but these quotes come directly from the Hasbro panel. It seems Hasbro is willing and able to work with them again. At least in a retro capacity.

Mr_Writer85270d ago

"Does Activision still have the rights?"
They do not.

"I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores."

This is correct. I dunno if MS can/ would go back to Hasbro and try and negotiate a new deal.

But even if they could I doubt they would, same with Spider-Man.
