The license is the only value.

I wish there were a side-scrolling shoot'em up based on the classic Transformers characters. Imagine controlling classic Megatron yourself, then with a press of a button you become a gun held in an ally's hand! Or even a Capcom "Vs."-style fighting game -- Optimus Prime, with one deft super move, transforms into a giant truck and crushes the opponent!

I was interested in seeing the Transformers license used in this game but unfortunately, the playing experience has been shabby. Beast Wars: TransMetals just isn't a well-designed action game. For one thing, it's based on characters that are more fun, probably, as toys than as game characters. So the robots can transform into beasts and vehicles. But they look so bad in their 3D-model form that I hardly care for them. "Optimus Primal"? Transforming into a Gorilla? And this game features way too much voice work, all poorly done. "Primal" doesn't have the kind of compelling voice that, say, the Optimus Prime of the classic Transformers series on TV did. I can't tell one character from another, and it's obvious the script was written to very young kids, featuring a lot of empty bravado that just bogs down the pacing of the game.

The fighting system? No blocking, just a lot of running around and button-mashing, hoping you hit. And switching to a "special screen" every time either player transforms just kills the momentum of the fights.

I love giant-robot games like Armored Core and even Omega Boost. But Beast Wars: TransMetals fails the grade.

The best game ever

I really enjoyed playing this game. The graphics were okay and the controls were simple. Unfortunitly, that about all the good things I have to say. For a fighting game, it's too easy. Setting the difficulty to hard only presents a small challange. And even on hard, the game is short. In the survival mode, where you get to fight every charecter arcade style, I was anle to beat it in a little over 5 minutes. Way too short. And the story mode is about the same. The replay value of this game, for lack of a better term, [is bad]. Once you've done everything there is to do, there's really no initiative to continue. In short, this would be an okay game to rent, but unless you are a true die-hard Beast Wars Transformers collecter, I wouldn't suggest a purchase.

looks good
