Less then meets the eye. IGN.com gives 5.7 rating to the Transformers:The Game
"The 2004 videogame adaptation of the Transformers: Armada line from Atari (on PS2) was a Transformers game done right. It had better visuals, cooler incentives for moving between robot and vehicular forms, and boasted some of the best boss battles that year. But Activision's 2007 iteration doesn't live up to that standard. Its lack of depth and poor mission design ensures that. Granted, the game isn't too awful -- as it does offer some entertaining diversions here and there (and the Decepticon missions are actually fun), but given what was promised and what was ultimately delivered, I thought it'd be made of sterner stuff."
With the recent successes of Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, even Hasbro wants to see the classic Transformers games come to Game Pass.
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.
“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! 😳
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.
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.
"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.
Game Rant Writes "Transformers has not had much success in the video game market, but the movie tie-in Transformers: The Game may be a diamond in the rough."
The Transformers have not had a great track record in games. Here is a terrible history of Transformers video games
Its rather disappoiting for Travellers Tales, who have maed great movie and non-movie based games from LEGO Star Wars to Narnia.
i don't agree with the score neither of the other sites gave the game .its fun as hell from both sides of the game .also the graphics are cool .i haven't beat it yet but i've read that the game is real short .now if this is true than the game then loses two marks, for def.but as of now it gets an 8.3 from me .needs co-op....its one of those games you got to play for yourself
5.7! LOL! It had to come to this... game companies stop this franchise crap and start creating something new.
yes i've played that one and i loved it also .this game is about the same .too me ,its pretty fresh
I love playing with my Wii version of the Transformers game. I mean, granted I've only played it for a couple of hours, but it's very fun and cathartic to just go on rampages and investigate the entire map. Personally I think it's a great game, but hey, that's just me.
